Deep Learning Emulators for Accessible Climate Projections
Climate change has shifted from a purely scientific topic to a deeply politicized issue. To combat climate change we need to create mutual understanding on the links between policies, global warming, and city-scale impacts. Climate models have been incredibly helpful in generating this causal …

Internal and structural variability in global urban climate projections in CMIP6
Climate change is projected to impose substantial impacts and climate-driven threats to urban areas. Effective development decisions and local actions to manage these risks rely on robust climate projections that are specific to built landscapes. A robust modeling framework to address uncertainty …

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 …

Integrating urban heat island influences into statistically downscaled climate projections in the Truckee Meadows, Nevada
… methods for downscaling future temperature projections for the Truckee Meadows produced by global climate model data under three IPCC emissions scenarios (A1b, A2 and B2) for the future period 2041-2060 were examined. Results indicated that a bias correction and constructed analogs method …

Decreasing stream habitat for Greenback cutthroat trout under future climate projections in headwater streams of the southern Rocky Mountains, Colorado
… streams are especially vulnerable to changing climate, and coldwater fish are especially sensitive to the fluctuations in streamflow and water temperature during summertime low flows. Though previous studies have provided insights on how changes in climate and alterations in stream discharge …

Assessing the climatic suitability of Bambara groundnut as an underutilised crop to future climate projections in Sikasso and Ségou, Mali
This study evaluates how future climatic projections will affect the suitability of bambara groundnut (Vigna subterranean(L) Verdc.), a type of underutilised crop in Sikasso and Ségou, southern Mali. This study was performed using a simulation approach, which considered the potential changes in …

Understanding the relationship between agricultural nutrients NPS, land management, and climate using distributed hydrologic models
… and anthropogenic stressors like changing climate and changes in land management scenarios, a modeling framework that allows the conceptualization of physically-based hydrologic and transport processes should be adopted to provide reliable predictions and a better understanding of 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 …

Multi-Level Factorial Sensitivity Analysis of REGCM4 Physical Scheme Combinations Over Canada
Climate change has been considered as one of the most important problems around the world since it always causes severe, extensive and irreversible consequences. It is thus desired to generate reliable high-resolution climate projections for supporting impact assessments under changing climate …

European droughts under climate change: projections and uncertainties
… most damaging natural hazards, and anthropogenic climate change has and will continue to alter their characteristics. Better understanding of changes in drought characteristics under potential future climates is vital for managing drought risks and impacts, yet projections are very uncertain. This …

On the predictability of land surface fluxes
… land surface is a key component in the earth’s climate system, and is one of the main contributors to uncertainty in climate projections. Fluxes of energy, momentum, water and carbon between the land surface and the atmosphere provide important feedbacks in the climate system. Land surface …

Feasibility and Implementation Plan for Rainwater Harvesting in Peach Springs, AZ on the Hualapai Indian Reservation
… stress for part of the year and with expected climate change in the coming decades, finding additional renewable water resources is crucial to ensure safe drinking water and attain food security. Rainwater harvesting (RWH), the practice of centralizing, collecting, and storing rainwater for …

Interannual thermal-regime variability of two lakes in British Columbia, Canada : implications for climate change
… lake. The changes are compared to local climate conditions as well as inter-annual variability associated with the El Nino Southern Oscillation (ENSO). Observations include that higher air temperatures in El Nino years are associated with higher surface water temperature, as well as …

Understanding ozone, climate and their interactions with causal machine learning
… is essential to inform society's response to climate change. This thesis explores two closely related risks, surface ozone and temperature. Simulating both currently requires the use of complex numerical models, which are limited by incomplete process knowledge, inadequate resolution and …

Natural flood management - an Ecosystem based Adaptation response for climate change
Climate change is one of the most pressing issues facing civil society. Scientific evidence indicates the likelihood of greater variability and more frequent extremes of temperature and precipitation which will result in increased flood risk and corresponding social, economic and environmental …

Assessing climate change impacts and agronomic adaptation strategies for dryland crop production in southern Africa
… affecting food security and livelihoods. Climate change is anticipated to aggravate these already existing challenges. In the recent past, a wide range of studies has sought to understand how climate change will affect crop production. However, there are only few detailed localised studies …
