Climate Change

This guide will help you find library and Internet resources for student research relating to climate change.

Climate Change Books

A number of excellent books have been published about climate change in the past few years. Consider using books as sources for your research before delving into the scientific literature which can be highly technical. 

Many of our books are available in e-book format and can be read online on any device. We also have a collection of print books which can be borrowed. 

Some good search terms (depending on your topic) include climate change, global warming, sea level rise, global average temperature, carbon sequestration, and climate change adaption or mitigation.

Print books on climate change topics can be found on the third floor in the G section and on the 4th floor in the Q and T sections. Once you find the book you need (see boxes below for instructions), take it to the first floor service desk to check it out with your Rowan card.
