In hot water: zooplankton and climate change

Hot Stuff: Would Climate Change Alter Transboundary Water Sharing Treaties?

By signing an international river sharing agreement (RSA), countries voluntary commit to release water in exchange for a compensation. We examine the robustness of such commitments to reduced water flows. We focus on RSAs that satisfy core lower bounds and fairness upper bounds. We characterize the constrained upstream incremental RSA as the core and fair RSA that is sustainable during the most...

Temperature-dependent ultraviolet responses in zooplankton: Implications of climate change

Climate warming and stratospheric ozone depletion increase temperature and ultraviolet (UV) in midto highlatitude ecosystems; however, little is known about the interactive effects of temperature and UV on organisms. We exposed Daphnia catawba, Leptodiaptomus minutus, and Asplanchna girodi to UV-B at four different temperatures: 10, 15, 20, and 258C. Elevated temperatures increased UV tolerance...

Water access, water scarcity, and climate change.

This article investigates the approaches of the various discourses operating in the water sector and how they address the issues of scarcity and equitable access under projected climate change impacts. Little synergy exists between the different approaches dealing with these issues. Whilst being a sustainable development and water resources management issue, a holistic view of access, scarcity ...
