This volume, "Air Quality", contains many original findings on biomasss fires, transboundary pollution and associated haze and their impacts on health, biodiversity and economy and thus is expected to be a source book for research in South East Asia. Many of the results presented in this volume pertain to this region and are thus available under one ' roof.' Some papers could be discussed in graduate level classes dealing with Air Pollution, Air Quality, Cloud Physics and Biophysics. The scientific community will find this book a useful addition to their personal and institutional libraries.

This book presents a collection of articles concerning key topics which examine the impacts of climate change and variability on agriculture. The application region is the southeastern United States. The main topics include an investigation of the effect of variations in the spatial scale of climate change scenarios on an agricultural integrated assessment, methods of simulating adaptations of climate change, and the relationship between large scale climate variability and local climate and vegetation. This book will be very useful for researchers and policy makers involved in climate change impacts.

This document presents some key results from a CSIRO research project undertaken for Environment Australia to examine policy implications of greenhouse gas targets. The background to this work is: the observed increase in atmospheric CO2 over the industrial period; scientific assessments that this will cause significant climate change; the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (FCCC), and the annual Conferences of parties (of the FCCC) in Berlin 1995, Geneva 1996 and Kyoto 1997. The aim of the project was to provide information for policymakers in the period prior to the Third Conference of Parties in Kyoto in December 1997, and prior to the release of IPCC Technical Paper 4. The present report summarizes the material that was produced by the CSIRO project, and updates the description with relevant references to Technical Paper 4, and the new context defined by the Kyoto Protocol. Additional information is given on the attribution of concentrations and radiative forcing, giving the partitioning of emissions between various groups of nations.
