Heat Waves in a Changing Climate: Causes, Impacts and Solutions
Editat de Adejoke Blessing Aransiola, Suhasini Bhatnagar, Sesan Abiodun Aransiola, Naga Raju Maddelaen Limba Engleză Hardback – 15 oct 2026
In recent times, temperature has been above historical average in many parts of the world as a result of climate change and the temperatures differs from place to place. This becomes seriously concerning about the causes of this heat which can last for several days with great impact on the society including a rise in heat related deaths across the globe. While discussing the possible causes and types, the book also intends to look for cures of heat waves. A chapter is also dedicated to what an individual, living anywhere on this planet can do to reduce the effects of heat pockets in the region. The idea is every drop counts. If every individual decides to play their roles, possibly we don’t have to wait for the governments to act.
This book is aimed at all students studying Environmental Sciences, Agricultural Sciences, Geography and Climatology.

She is a Registered Surveyor of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.
Suhasini Bhatnagar holds a Ph.D. in Medical Genetics from Sanjay Gandhi Postgraduate Institute of Medical Sciences, Lucknow, India. She began her career teaching Biotechnology at various colleges across India before establishing her own company, which operates on a project basis focusing on sustainable development goals, particularly water and food. She holds several patents in her area of expertise and is an active researcher in heavy metals and recycling. Her work centers on projects that improve quality of life through scientific approaches, with particular attention to environmental challenges. Her research interests include addressing problems related to sustainability and environmental protection.
Sesan Abiodun Aransiola holds a Ph.D. in Environmental Microbiology from the Department of Microbiology, Federal University of Technology, Minna, Nigeria. He obtained his B.Tech (2009) and M.Tech (2014) from the same department. His research expertise includes the production of vermicast from vermicomposting of organic wastes to assist plants in the remediation of polluted soil with heavy metals. He is currently a Lecturer at the Department of Microbiology, University of Abuja, Nigeria. His research interests focus on environmental microbiology, including phytoremediation, vermicomposting, biosorption, and bioremediation of contaminated soil environments.
Naga Raju Maddela received his M.Sc. (1996-1998) and Ph.D. (2012) in Microbiology from Sri Krishnadevaraya University, Anantapuramu, India. During his doctoral program in Environmental Microbiology, he investigated the effects of industrial effluents and insecticides on soil microorganisms and their biological activities. He has been teaching undergraduate and postgraduate students in Microbiology since 1998. He worked as Prometeo Investigator at Universidad Estatal Amazónica, Ecuador (2013-2015), and received a Postdoctoral Fellowship (2016-2018) from Sun Yat-sen University, China.

Descriere
The book is intended to address the possible causes and cures for heat pockets on earth. Heat wave is a period of unusually high temperatures as compared to what is normally expected over a region. Researchers in 2023 reported that about 2 billion people experienced heating condition which was attributed to human made climate change.
