Climate services for the railway sector: A synthesis of adaptation information needs in Europe
Frontiers in Climate, 2022 Given that climate variability and change present unprecedented challenges to the rail sector, efforts to produce relevant climate data/information for climate risk management and adaptive decision making in the rail sector are gaining traction. However,

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 ...

Epistemic injustice in Climate Adaptation [PDF]
Ethical Theory and Moral Practice, 2022 AbstractIndigenous peoples are disproportionally vulnerable to climate change. At the same time, they possess valuable knowledge for fair and sustainable climate adaptation planning and policymaking. Yet Indigenous peoples and knowledges are often excluded from or underrepresented within adaptation plans and policies.

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.
