New E-Resources at Northwestern

Encyclopedia of Global Warming and Climate Change

Explores major topics related to global warming and climate change-ranging geographically from the North Pole to the South Pole, and thematically from social effects to scientific causes. Covers the science and history of climate change, the controversies over climate-change theories, the role of societies, the industrial and economic factors, and the sociological aspects of climate change. - Publisher’s blurb.

Energy & Environmental Science

Energy and Environmental Science is a new journal linking all aspects of the chemical sciences relating to energy conversion and storage, alternative fuel technologies and environmental science.

The journal recognises the complexity of issues and challenges relating to energy and environmental science and therefore particularly welcomes work of an interdisciplinary nature across both the (bio) chemical sciences and chemical engineering disciplines.

Geography

Geography meets the interests of lecturers, teachers and students in post-16 geography. It includes:

Alloy Physics : A Comprehensive Reference

Covering the latest research in alloy physics together with the underlying basic principles, this comprehensive book provides a sound understanding of the structural changes in metals and alloys — ranging from plastic deformation, deformation dynamics and ordering kinetics right up to atom jump processes, first principle calculations and simulation techniques.

Science in Society

At Science in Society, we believe that science is fundamental, even “elemental” to our lives. Science affects us in many ways, from medical advances that touch our lives personally, to state and federal policy decisions concerning the environment or research regulations that impact our society at large.

Our goal is to make the community aware of the exciting research efforts at Northwestern University and across the world. We explore not only the science, but the legal, ethical, and even economic implications of research as well. We also offer a single access point to find science outreach events at Northwestern designed for the public, and we maintain a media library of past events, so you can enjoy lectures from the experts on your own computer, on your own time.

Koedoe

Koedoe is the research journal for the South African National Parks.  Its first objective is the publication of original papers concerned with the science and management of protected areas, across Africa. It is also concerned with the complex social-ecological interactions which envelop, and are a cornerstone issue of protected areas in the African context, especially as humans and conservation areas interact in many ways.

Elements

An international magazine of minerology, geochemistry, and petrology.

Seismological Research Letters

SRL is a unique journal–the first to serve as a general forum for informal communication among seismologists, as well as between seismologists and those nonspecialists interested in seismology and related disciplines.

Geobiology

The aim of Geobiology is to provide a natural home for geobiological research, allowing the cross-fertilization of critical ideas, and promoting cooperation and advancement in this emerging field.

Encyclopedia of Environment and Society

The Encyclopedia of Environment and Society brings together multiplying issues, concepts, theories, examples, problems, and policies, with the goal of clearly explicating an emerging way of thinking about people and nature. With more than 1,200 entries written by experts from incredibly diverse fields, this innovative resource is a first step toward diving into the deep pool of emerging knowledge.
