Answer 1

Answer:

Global environmental change often seems to be the most carefully examined issue of our time. Yet understanding the human side—human causes of and responses to environmental change—has not yet received sustained attention. Global Environmental Change offers a strategy for combining the efforts of natural and social scientists to better understand how our actions influence global change and how global change influences us.

Answer 2

Answer:

Throughout history, people have attempted to slow down or modify dynamic coastal zones. Anthropogenic (due to human influence) changes in the coastal environment are the formation or stabilization of bays, the avoidance of beach runoff and sedimentation, the formation of sand dunes to protect property, the dredging of waterways for shipping and trade, and It can take many forms, including hardware deployments. Structures such as piers, breakwaters, and seawalls. These changes alter coastal characteristics and have far-reaching effects on coastal processes and ecosystems. Understanding how human modification changes coastal environments and park resources is important for protecting and conserving coastal areas.

Explanation:

• Sea-level change is a natural response to climate change, geodetic movement, seafloor movement, and other terrestrial processes. Human interventions such as wetland drainage, groundwater pumping (which eventually flows into the ocean), and deforestation (which reduces land-based water storage capacity) can also contribute to global  sea level rise. Anthropogenic climate change, primarily due to the burning of fossil fuels, is also a concern. Local changes can be caused by nearby large-scale engineering work such as: B. Canalization of rivers or  construction of dams affecting sediment supply and deposition in delta regions.
• The National Park Service allows natural coastal processes to continue unimpeded. However, changes in coastal dynamics may be required when natural processes such as coastal erosion and storms affect the conservation of cultural resources and park infrastructure. A thorough study of how coastal modifications  affect natural park resources (both biological and physical) is needed so that sensible decisions can be  made. Coastal park managers  strive to  balance the protection of historic structures (such as forts and lighthouses) with the protection of natural ecosystems. Furthermore, the long-term history of  human change combined with the lack of historical documentation complicates the definition of natural coastal systems. Understanding how anthropogenic changes alter coastal environments and park resources is critical for effective coastal management
