Heliophysics is a fast-developing scientific discipline that integrates
studies of the Sun's variability, the surrounding heliosphere, and the
environment and climate of planets. Over the past few centuries, our
understanding of how the Sun drives space weather and climate on the
Earth and other planets has advanced at an ever increasing rate.
This volume, the last in a series of three heliophysics texts, focuses
on long-term variability from the Sun's decade-long sunspot cycle and
considers the evolution of the planetary system over ten billion years
from a climatological perspective. Topics covered range from the dynamo
action of stars and planets to processes in the Earth's troposphere,
ionosphere, and magnetosphere and their effects on planetary climate
and habitability. Supplemented by online teaching materials, it can be
used as a textbook for courses or as a foundational reference for
researchers in fields from astrophysics and plasma physics to planetary
and climate science.
