Climate Variability Impacts on Land Use and Livelihoods in Drylands
This edited volume is devoted to the examination of the implications of the inevitable changes wrought by global change on the welfare and livelihoods of tens of millions of people who live in dryland regions. Global change is more than just climate change and the ramifications of changing trade patterns (geopolitical and economic aspects), the shift to the market economy, demographic factors (...
متن کاملClimate Impacts of Land Degradation in the World’s Drylands
Drylands throughout the world have always undergone periods of degradation due to naturally-occurring fluctuations in climate. However, over the past century, the human population in drylands has grown exponentially and the resulting pressures on the landscape have exacerbated various desertification processes, particularly in Africa. The degradation of drylands has led to changes in local, reg...
متن کاملClimate forcing of geological and geomorphological hazards.
The 12 research papers and two summaries of conference discussion sessions contained in this Theme Issue build upon presentations and dialogue at the Third Johnston–Lavis Colloquium held at University College London in September 2009. The meeting brought together delegates from the UK, Europe and the USA to address the issue of climate forcing of geological and geomorphological hazards, with a ...
متن کاملMining Extreme Values: Climate and Natural Hazards
The analysis and modeling of extreme values have traditionally relied on extreme value theory (EVT), which in turn has tended to focus on limiting or asymptotic cases and assumptions of independence. However, disciplines from climate science and digital mapping to infrastructure security and transportation, have been generating massive volumes of data with multidimensional and multivariable dep...
متن کاملCentral Pacific El Niño, the “subtropical bridge,” and Eurasian climate
[1] This study contributes to the discussion on possible effects of El Niño on North Atlantic/European regional climates. We use NCEP/NCAR reanalysis data to show how the two different types of El Niños (the central Pacific, or CP, and the east Pacific, or EP) result in remarkably different European winter temperature anomalies, specifically weak warming during EP and significant cooling during...
