Modelling the impact of climate change on health
The main objective of this thesis is to develop a robust statistical model by accounting the non-linear relationships between hospital admissions due to lower respiratory (LR) disease and factors of climate and pollution, and their delayed effects on hospital admissions. This study also evaluates …

Measuring the impact of climate change on Britain
Adaptation to past changes in the climate of Britain may be indicative of the way in which society will respond to future climate change. The long run costs associated with climate change are, once full adaptation has occurred, not obviously detrimental. Furthermore even if the frequency of …

The Impact of Climate Change on Historic Interiors
… the environment is critical for the preservation of historic collections and interiors, if the environment is unsuitable it can create an increased risk of damage. In historic houses collections are usually on open display, and the room environment often has little control thus it is vulnerable to …

Assessing the Impact of Climate Change on Tourism Demand
The contributions of this study are both theoretical and practical. The main theoretical contribution is that this study extends the existing tourism/climate literature by improving climate measurement and the methodologies for quantifying the relationship between tourism and climate. The practical …

Essays on the Impact of Climate Change and Related Policies
The strategy to limit adverse climate change impacts develops along two dimensions: mitigation, i.e., initiatives aimed at reducing future emissions of greenhouse gases, and adaptation, i.e., efforts aimed at reducing the vulnerability of human systems to climate change. Within this framework, this …

Predicting the impact of climate change on vernalization for Arabidopsis thaliana
… thaliana plants require a prolonged period of cold, known as vernalization, to ensure prompt floral transition occurs in spring. This thesis addresses the question of whether partial saturation of cold requirements might delay flowering under future climate scenarios. Laboratory experiments …

Impact of climate change on extinction risk of montane tree species.
The potential impacts of climate change on many species worldwide remains unknown, especially in those tropical regions that are centers of endemism and are highly biodiverse. This thesis provides an insight into the extinction risk of selected tree species using different species distribution …

Nuestro Mundo A Martiano Exploration of the Existential Impact of Climate Change
<p>This work is an account of meaning and value in the time of climate change. I use the findings and predictions of scientists to develop a philosophy of living that fits today's concerns. In essence the ideas put forward come from a single question: If humans can change the planet in such a way …

The impact of climate change on air-water exchange of toxaphene in Lake Superior
… how toxaphene dynamics in Lake Superior have changed since 1995. A model developed by Swackhamer et al. (1999) was updated using measurements taken by the National Data Buoy Center to represent conditions from 1995 to 2012. Buoy trends observed on Lake Superior from 1979-2012 were projected …

The Impact of Climate Change upon the Snowmelt Hydrology of an Upland UK Catchment
… hydrology is important in the winter flow regime of upland catchments in the UK as it can attenuate the extremes of the river flow hydrograph. The sensitivity of snow accumulation and melt to changes in climate, in particular to increases in temperature, could impact upon the variability of the …

Assessment of Future Impact of Climate Change on Structural Protections and Hydrological Extremes – Floods
The certainty of flood protection in the face of climate change is linked to the likelihood that a system will function reliably under various future flood scenarios. It is increasingly crucial to comprehend and forecast the frequency and intensity of random hydrological factors for efficient flood …

Modelling the Impact of Climate Change on the Polar Bear Population in Western Hudson Bay
The aim of this thesis is to model the impact of climate change on polar bear populations. The first model is a discrete matrix model with time-dependent parameters, which are influenced by temperature increases. Sensitivity analysis is done on the model. Numerical simulations predict there exist …
