A snow and ice melt seasonal prediction modelling system for Alpine reservoirs [PDF]
Proceedings of the International Association of Hydrological Sciences, 2016 The timing and the volume of snow and ice melt in Alpine catchments are crucial for management operations of reservoirs and hydropower generation. Moreover, a sustainable reservoir operation through reservoir storage and flow control as part of flood ...

Frontiers in Environmental Science, 2023 The seasonal prediction of sea-ice concentration (SIC), especially sudden loss events, is always challenging. Weddell Sea SIC experienced two unprecedented decline events, falling from 2.21% in the austral winter of 2015 to 0.02% in the austral summer of

The Climate Adaptation Frontier [PDF]
Sustainability, 2013 Climate adaptation has emerged as a mainstream risk management strategy for assisting in maintaining socio-ecological systems within the boundaries of a safe operating space. Yet, there are limits to the ability of systems to adapt. Here, we introduce the concept of an “adaptation frontier”, which is defined as a socio-ecological system’s transitional ...

Meteorological Applications, 2021 The assessment of surface solar irradiance as a resource is a major research topic in renewable energy. A method for assessing the characteristics of global horizontal solar irradiance (GHI) at the surface on consecutive days is proposed in this work.

Obesity and climate adaptation [PDF]
Evolution, Medicine, and Public Health, 2019 Obesity is a pandemic that has increased exponentially during the past decades due in large part to recent changes in lifestyle and food delivery systems. Yet, there is still a great variability in the burden of obesity across ancestral populations. For example, in the USA prevalence estimates of adult obesity vary from 13 to 48% in Asian Americans and

Land, 2023 The Meiyu season is a typical rainy season in East Asia that is controlled by summer monsoon. Despite extensive research on its impact, it is unclear how urbanization modifies precipitation during the Meiyu season in the background of the monsoon ...

The macroeconomic effects of adapting to high-end sea-level rise via protection and migration
Nature Communications, 2022 The authors calculated the economy-wide costs of sea level rise and possible adaptation options. Protection clearly pays off and when combining protection and coastal migration, costs can be brought down further, yet, residual damage costs are large.

Financing climate change adaptation [PDF]
Disasters, 2006 AbstractThis paper examines the topic of financing adaptation in future climate change policies. A major question is whether adaptation in developing countries should be financed under the 1992 United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC), or whether funding should come from other sources. We present an overview of financial resources
