Climate Change

The Library provides additional help in this matter.

The most recommended databases are: Science Database, Research Library: Science & Technology, Library Science Database, and others

Other sources of information are websites of organizations with nationwide recognition in the subject of the research, Research Dissertations from universities worldwide, etc. To discuss some specific Case of Study, the students can use information collected from newspapers, and other similar credible sources.

We are listing below, as example, for each research topic some journals and/or articles. The students must make their own research and use more bibliographic references.
