The Faculty of Geography and Environmental Planning is proud to announce the publication of the latest scholarly work by Dr. Taghi Tavousi, a distinguished Full Professor in the Department of Physical Geography. His new book, titled: »Earth’s Climate System: Forcings, Processes, and Outcomes«, has been released by the University of Sistan and Baluchestan Press. This comprehensive volume is the culmination of years of dedicated teaching, research, and profound contemplation in the field of systemic climatology.

Adopting a systemic and integrated approach, Earth’s Climate System guides the reader to understand the complexities of our planet’s climate not as a collection of disparate phenomena, but as a dynamic and interconnected whole. As emphasized in the book’s preface, understanding the balance of matter and energy exchange within this system is more critical than merely quantifying the stored amounts, a perspective that serves as the cornerstone for a deeper analysis of climate change and variability.

This invaluable work is cohesively structured into nine chapters, taking the reader on a comprehensive scientific journey from foundational theories to the most intricate climatic mechanisms:

• Chapter 1: The Concept of a System
• Chapter 2: General Characteristics of Systems
• Chapter 3: General Characteristics of Cybernetic Systems
• Chapter 4: Self-Organization of the Climate System
• Chapter 5: Climatic Infrastructures (Climatic Genetics)
• Chapter 6: Terrestrial Processes of Climate Change
• Chapter 7: Mechanical Forcings of the Climate System
• Chapter 8: Thermodynamic Forcings of Climate
• Chapter 9: Dynamic Forcings of the Atmosphere

This book is highly recommended as a comprehensive and profound resource for postgraduate and doctoral students in climatology, atmospheric sciences, physical geography, and other environmental sciences, as well as for researchers and specialists in these fields.

The Faculty of Geography and Environmental Planning extends its sincere congratulations to Professor Taghi Tavousi for this significant academic achievement. We celebrate this success as a vital step in enriching our nation’s scientific resources and enhancing the university’s role as a center of academic excellence.
