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 …

Assessing the Potential Effects of Climate Variability on Reservoir Water Volume in North-Central Texas Using GIS and Models: A Case Study of Ray Roberts Lake.
Assessing the impact of climate variability on water resources is one of the difficult tasks in planning the future growth of North-Central Texas. This study defined twelve extreme climate scenarios. Data from each scenario was input to a hydrological model (HEC-HMS) to calculate watershed runoff …

Probabilistic Flood Risk Assessment Under Climate Change Scenarios in the Humber River Watershed
Flood frequency is expected to increase due to climate change. This research uses the CAPRA method to perform flood risk assessment in the Humber River watershed. The economic and social damages are quantified under current and future climate conditions. First current and future stochastic …

A multi-scale exploration of the drivers and implications of germination strategy in Australian alpine plants
… still be capable of persisting under a changing climate and this will largely be dependent on the ability of their seeds to germinate, establish and reproduce in situ, or after dispersal to new sites. The effects of climate change on regeneration from seeds may be influenced by intrinsic factors …

Model-based analysis of climate change impacts on the productivity of oak-pine forests in Brandenburg
The relationship between climate and forest productivity is an intensively studied subject in forest science. This Thesis is embedded within the general framework of future forest growth under climate change and its implications for the ongoing forest conversion. My objective is to investigate the …

Predicting the impact of climate change on vernalization for Arabidopsis thaliana
… requirements might delay flowering under future climate scenarios. Laboratory experiments set up to parameterize a predictive model revealed a surprising optimal vernalizing temperature for the Swedish accession Lov-1. Field experiments in Northern Sweden support the theory that this optimum …

Interactive effects of n fertilization rate, cultivars and planting date under climate change on maize (zea mays l.) yield using crop simulation and statistical downscaling of climate models
… Planting date (PD), low soil fertility and climate change influences maize (Zea mays L.) growth and yield. Local-scale impacts of future climate change (CC) and variability (CV) on PD, N fertilizer rate (N), cultivar, maize growth, and yield is not well documented in Zambia. The impact of …

Climate Change and Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar): Changes in Flow and Freshwater Habitat in the Burrishoole Catchment
Climate change is anticipated to impact the flow regime of riverine systems with resultant consequences for the freshwater habitat of Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) and the long-term sustainability of their population numbers. The Burrishoole catchment, a relatively small but productive salmon …

Projecting Planning-Related Climate Impact Drivers for Appalachian Public Health Support
Climate change is impacting the intensity, duration, and frequency of climatic events. With climate change comes a multitude of adverse conditions, including extreme heat events, changes in disease patterns, and increased likelihood and frequency of natural disasters, including in places previously …
