Genome editing for engineering resilience to climate changes in grapevine
… practices and mitigate the adverse impacts of climate change on viticulture. Another objective of this study was to ascertain the extent to which the reduced stomatal density could benefit grapevines in terms of resistance to the harmful oomycete Plasmopara viticola, the causal agent of downy …

Hydrology across scales : sensitivity of East African lakes to climate changes
… studied to better understand the influence of climate change on hydrological systems. The exceptional sensitivity of these rift lakes, however, is both a challenge and an opportunity when trying to reconstruct past climate changes from changes in the hydrological budget of lake basins on …

Modelling Climate Changes, Biogenic Emissions and Tropospheric Chemistry in Southeast Asia.
A regional climate model (PRECIS) and a biogenic emission model (BVOCEM) were used to investigate the impact of climate changes on biogenic emissions during northeast monsoon (Dec-Jan-Feb, DJF) and southwest monsoon (Jun-(July)-Aug, JJA) in both the A2 and B2 transient climate scenarios of the IPCC …

Influence of climate changes on cross allergies: possible involvement of pollen transglutaminase
… be indirectly caused by sensitization to pollen. Climate changes resulting from increases in temperature and air pollution influence pollen allergenicity, responsible for the dramatic raise in respiratory allergies (hay fever, bronchial asthma, conjunctivitis). Although the link between climate …

Impacts of Land Use and Climate Changes on Hydrological Processes in South Dakota Watersheds
<p>This study aims to evaluate the impacts of climate and land use change on the hydrology of South Dakota’s watersheds using the Soil and Water Assessment Tool (SWAT). The study analyzed the hydrologic impacts of climate and land use changes in two ways. The first aspect consists of characterizing …

Impacts of climate changes on the spatiotemporal distribution of precipitation in the western United States
… of the precipitation is changing due to the climate changes. In this dissertation, three studies are conducted to investigate the multi-scale temporal variability of precipitation, the performance of current climate models on this variability, the influence of large-scale ocean oscillations …

Combining ecological niche models and dispersal simulations to predict bryophytes dynamic response to climate changes
Malgré le nombre croissant de politiques d’atténuation des changements climatiques, les émissions anthropiques de gaz à effet de serre ont continué d’augmenter entre 1970 et 2010, avec des augmentations plus importantes entre 2000 et 2010. La période de 1983 à 2012 a d’ailleurs été identifiée comme …

Late quaternary climate changes and landscape evolution in the Northwest Himalaya : geomorphologic processes in the Indian Summer Monsoon Domain
The India-Eurasia continental collision zone provides a spectacular example of active mountain building and climatic forcing. In order to quantify the critically important process of mass removal, I analyzed spatial and temporal precipitation patterns of the oscillating monsoon system and their …

Atmospheric Rivers and Climate Stresses: Retrospective and Prospective Assessments of the Impacts of Storm Variability, Climate Changes, and Extremes in the Western U.S.
Overcoming the challenges posed by weather and climate-related hazards requires a shared understanding among scientists, decision-makers, and the public of what the likely or potential impacts might be so that appropriate actions can be identified. The research presented here contributes toward …

Competition Law Between Old Goals and New Challenges. New tools for a ‘multi-value’ approach vis-à-vis: Digitalisation, Inequalities, and Climate Changes
… market concentration rates and the even faster climate changes are topics that cannot be outside the academic analysis of the various policies. Therefore, if we try to answer at the question if competition law shall play a role in this context, the analysis should start from the very foundations …

Biogeomorphology and soil geomorphology of small semiarid basins, northeastern Arizona : influences of topoclimate and climate variations
… cemented sandstones are sensitive to Holocene climate changes on millennial to decadal scales. It is hypothesized that these climate changes affect processes of weathering, erosion and plant community establishment on hillslopes in this semiarid environment. In small basins formed at the base …

The Reversibility/irreversibility of the Thermohaline Circulation After Its Shutdown: Simulations From a Hierarchy of Climate Models
… plays a vital role in explaining past abrupt climate changes and in maintaining the current climate. Its remarkable nonlinear dynamics, first demonstrated by Stommel, has been supported by different types of models. This has led to concern that global warming may shut down the THC …

Microbial communities and their response to Pleistocene and Holocene climate variabilities in the Russian Arctic
… is considered as a focal region in the ongoing climate change debate. The currently observed and predicted climate warming is particularly pronounced in the high northern latitudes. Rising temperatures in the Arctic cause progressive deepening and duration of permafrost thawing during the arctic …

Little Ice Age climate in the Western Tropical Atlantic inferred from coral geochemical proxies
Paleoclimate archives place the short instrumental record of climate variability in a longer temporal context and allow better understanding of the rate, nature and extent by which anthropogenic warming will impact natural and human systems. The ocean is a key component of the climate system and …

Projections of Future Changes in Surface Ozone Concentrations Over the United States, Effects of Pollutant Transport, and Uncertainty Analyses
This research analyzes potential U.S. ozone changes from the present time period (1996-2000) to the mid (2048-2052) and late (2095-2099) 21 St century. Included in the analysis is a systematic evaluation of the individual and combined effects of climate change, resulting changes in biogenic …

Effects of climate and forest management on the water and nitrogen status of European beech regeneration and understorey vegetation
Human activities result in climate changes with various impacts on forest ecosystems. An increase in global surface temperature, compared to pre-industrial levels, is already recorded and further elevation is expected. Extreme events, such as hot and dry periods, would increase in frequency and …

Late Mississippian (Chesterian) high-frequency climate change in the Pennington Formation at Pound Gap, KY USA.
Climate during the Late Mississippian (Late Chesterian) in the southern Appalachian Basin was characterized by periods of aridity and humidity. The Pennington Formation, exposed at Pound Gap, KY, USA records these changing climatic conditions. The climate signal, however, is partially obscured by …
