Understanding the Impacts of Climate Change in the Tana River Basin, Kenya [PDF]

Proceedings of the International Association of Hydrological Sciences, 2018
In the Tana River Basin in Kenya, six Regional Circulation Models (RCMs) simulating two Representative Concentration Pathways (RCPs) (i.e., 4.5 and 8.5) were used as input to the Soil and Water Assessment Tool (SWAT) model to determine the possible ...

Assessment of probable groundwater changes under representative concentration pathway (RCP) scenarios through the wavelet–GEP model

Environmental Earth Sciences, 2021
The main objective of this research was to evaluate the possible impact of climate change on groundwater levels in the Tasuj Plain, Iran. To accomplish this, the values of precipitation for a near future period was projected through four general circulation models (GCM). Then, the groundwater level variations through the genetic expression programming (

Identifying discrepant regions in urban mapping from historical and projected global urban extents

All Earth, 2022
Although several products of the global urban extent with fine resolutions (e.g. 30 m-38 m) have been developed, quantitative evaluations of these products across spaces and times are still missing, which is crucial to future urban growth modeling. Here,

Prediction of Suitable Future Natural Areas for Highland Barley on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau under Representative Concentration Pathways (RCPs)

Sustainability, 2022
Global climate change, mainly characterized by warming, has resulted in significant migration of temperature-sensitive crops from traditional planting areas, making crops more vulnerable to climate change and natural disasters, increasing yield losses caused by disasters.

Analysis of Energy Consumption in Different European Cities: The Adaptive Comfort Control Implemented Model (ACCIM) Considering Representative Concentration Pathways (RCP) Scenarios [PDF]

Applied Sciences, 2020
Reports of Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change have set various greenhouse gas emissions scenarios, through which the evolution of the temperature of the planet can be estimated throughout the 21st century. The reduction of the emissions from the different activities carried out by mankind is crucial to mitigate greenhouse gas emissions.

Projected changes of alpine grassland carbon dynamics in response to climate change and elevated CO2 concentrations under Representative Concentration Pathways (RCP) scenarios

PLOS ONE, 2019
The Tibetan Plateau is an important component of the global carbon cycle due to the large permafrost carbon pool and its vulnerability to climate warming. The Tibetan Plateau has experienced a noticeable warming over the past few decades and is projected to continue warming in the future.
