Essentials of the Earth s Climate System
This concise, full-color introduction to modern climatology covers all the key
topics of climate science for undergraduate/graduate students on one-semester
courses. The book progresses from climate processes to world climate types, past
climate change and projected future climates, ending with climate applications.
The treatment of topics is non-mathematical wherever possible, allowing students
to understand the physical processes more easily.
• Clear, full-color illustrations support the topics introduced in the text.
• Boxes are used to provide supplementary topics, enabling students to increase
their knowledge and awareness.
• Each chapter concludes with a summary of the main points and a mixture of
review and discussion questions that encourage students to check their under-
standing and think critically.
Roger G. Barry was born in Sheffield, England and worked for two years in the British
Meteorological Office before attending Liverpool University, where he received a BA Honors in
Geography. He received an MSc in Climatology from McGill University, Montreal, and a PhD
from the University of Southampton in 1965. In October 1968 he moved to the University of
Colorado, Boulder to become Associate Professor of Geography, Professor (1971-2004), and
Distinguished Professor (2004-2010). In 1977 he became the Director of the World Data
Center for Glaciology, which in 1980 merged into the National Snow and Ice Data Center
(NSIDC). Roger s teaching and research has spanned climate change, Arctic and mountain
climates, synoptic climatology, and snow and ice processes. Roger has published 25 textbooks,
including: Atmosphere, Weather and Climate (with R. J. Chorley, tenth edition, 2010); Mountain
Weather and Climate (third edition, 2008, Cambridge University Press); Synoptic and
Dynamic Climatology (with A. M. Carleton, 2011, Routledge); The Arctic Climate System (with
M. C. Serreze, 2005, Cambridge University Press); The Global Cryosphere: Past, Present and
Future (with T. Y. Gan, 2011, Cambridge University Press). He has also published more than
250 research articles, and supervised 65 graduate students. Roger has been a Guggenheim
Fellow, a Fulbright Teaching Fellow at Moscow State University, and a Visiting Professor
in Australia, France, Germany, Japan, New Zealand, Switzerland, and the United Kingdom.
His honors include: Fellow, American Geophysical Union; Foreign Member of the Russian
Academy of Environmental Science (RAEN) Founder s Medal, Royal Geographical Society;
Humboldt Prize Fellow. He is currently Director of the International CLIVAR Project Office at
the National Oceanography Centre, Southampton, UK.
Eileen A. Hali-McKim is a PhD Climatologist receiving her degree from the University of
Colorado, Boulder. Her interdisciplinary degrees include work in the geological sciences, hydrol-
ogy, oceanography, paleoclimatology, and water resource research. She completed her MSc at
the National Snow and Ice Data Center, Boulder and worked as editor and writer for the
Intermountain West Climate Summary of the NOAA/Western Water Assessment. Her honors
include: elected member Phi Beta Kappa National Honor Society; Outstanding Women in
Geosciences Student Award from the American Association of Women in Geosciences;
Graduate Research Fellowship Award from the Cooperative Institute for Research in
Environmental Sciences (CIRES); Magna Cum Laude National Honor Society, University of
Colorado. She is currently pursuing professional certification in sustainable practices from the
University of Colorado law school and environmental science department.
