This peer-reviewed book has been prepared by leading tropical marine and climate scientists. As we proceed down the inevitable path of climate change, the idea of change will and has become fundamental to understanding our environment and its role in shaping our ecosystems. Students today will emerge into a world of research and decision making that did not exist for their predecessors. The authors of this book have provided the first text to assess the role of climate change on an ecosystem as large and diverse as the Great Barrier Reef.This book contains 24 chapters.
