Application of the hector-brick reduced complexity earth system model for probabilistic climate projection
Probabilistic climate assessments require robust characterizations of decision-relevant uncertainties. Reduced complexity climate models can be useful tools for quantifying uncertainty, given their flexibility, computational efficiency, and the ability to link these models with large-ensemble …

A hydroclimatic assessment of the U.S. corn belt across spatial and temporal scales
<p>The term hydroclimate is used to describe the climate of a given location as determined by the incident radiant energy (temperature) and the existence of water in its various forms on Earth. Two types of climate comprise the science of hydroclimatology: the climate as established by general …

Quantifying future volcanic impacts on climate projections and their uncertainties using stochastic volcanic emissions
… of volcanic stratospheric aerosols for climate, current climate projection studies rely on two simplified assumptions: (i) that future volcanic forcing is represented well by a constant forcing, and (ii) that future forcing has a magnitude equivalent to historical mean volcanic forcing …

Modelling broiler chicken health and welfare in a changing climate
Agriculture is particularly exposed to climate change, which threatens global food security. To date, climate change impact assessments on future food availability have focussed primarily on crop production. Projections of climate change impacts on livestock are relatively rare, with productivity …

Genetic control and prediction of milling and baking quality for UK wheat breeding
… into future environments simulated from climate projection models enabled prediction of climate change impacts on UK wheat quality and the potential for breeding to mitigate these impacts. This project provides several quantitative genetics tools and resources for enhanced selection of …

Machine Learning Approaches to Assessing Future Flood & Storm Risk
… problems in the face of imminent and long term climate change, in particular through the lens of data minimalism. First, we note that with the dawn of the Anthropocene the world's climate is changing, primarily due to human activity. That change is having and will continue to have profound …

Exploration of natural climate variability and changes in future events using observations, proxy data and model simulations
… and interplay between changes in Earth's climate—comprising the physical interactions and states of the atmosphere,biosphere, hydrosphere, and cryosphere—in response to two main drivers: externally forced changes, such as those caused by human activities, volcanic eruptions, and the …

Synthesis of climate-water-food nexus in Illinois – data analysis and modeling
The climate is expected to change in the near future due to the global warming caused by anthropogenic release of greenhouse gases. Global warming is going to affect the atmospheric process (climate), biosphere process (hydrology) and the biological process (crop yield). Thus, the global warming …

Constraining uncertainty in climate sensitivity : an ensemble simulation approach based on glacial climate
Uncertainty about the sensitivity of the climate system to changes in the Earth’s radiative balance constitutes a primary source of uncertainty for climate projections. Given the continuous increase in atmospheric greenhouse gas concentrations, constraining the uncertainty range in such type of …
