Chapter 2: Water cycle dynamics
1 The global water cycle and its stores
2 Local drainage basin dynamics
3 Urbanisation and the hydrological cycle
4 River hydrographs and river regimes
5 Evaluating the issue: how far are human and physical factors responsible for changing water cycle flows in different drainage basins?
Chapter 3: Water security and sustainable water management
1 The water budget and water deficits
2 Drought, aridity, water scarcity and water insecurity
3 Patterns and trends in water availability and consumption

2 Carbon flows and processes
3 Carbon cycling at the local scale
4 Evaluating the issue: assessing the spatial and temporal variability of carbon system flows
Chapter 5: Fossil fuel use and the implications of climate change
1 Energy security and fossil fuel use trends and patterns
2 Anthropogenic and natural climate change
3 Implications of climate change for physical systems and life on Earth
4 Evaluating the issue: to what extent have human impacts on the carbon cycle led to a new geological epoch, the Anthropocene?
Chapter 6: Climate change mitigation and adaptation
1 The decarbonisation of economic activity and renewable energy
2 Carbon capture and storage
3 Climate change adaption and resilience
4 Evaluating the issue: to what extent is a warmer world inevitable?
Chapter 7: Carbon and water cycle interrelationships
