Projected Impacts of Climate Change on Environmental Suitability for Malaria Transmission in West Africa

BACKGROUND Climate change is expected to affect the distribution of environmental suitability for malaria transmission by altering temperature and rainfall patterns; however, the local and global impacts of climate change on malaria transmission are uncertain. OBJECTIVE We assessed the effect of climate change on malaria transmission in West Africa. METHODS We coupled a detailed mechanistic...

Potential effect of climate change on malaria transmission in Africa.

BACKGROUND Climate change is likely to affect transmission of vector-borne diseases such as malaria. We quantitatively estimated current malaria exposure and assessed the potential effect of projected climate scenarios on malaria transmission. METHODS We produced a spatiotemporally validated (against 3791 parasite surveys) model of Plasmodium falciparum malaria transmission in Africa. Using d...

Impacts of Near-Term Climate Change and Population Growth on Within-Year Reservoir Systems

Climate change and increased urban demand can significantly stress water supply systems, emphasizing the importance of reallocating reservoir storage for the designed uses. Most studies on climate change assessment have analyzed arid region reservoirs due to high interannual variability in streamflows. This study focuses on a within-year reservoir system, Lake Jordan in North Carolina, from a t...

Initialized near-term regional climate change prediction

Climate models are seen by many to be unverifiable. However, near-term climate predictions up to 10 years into the future carried out recently with these models can be rigorously verified against observations. Near-term climate prediction is a new information tool for the climate adaptation and service communities, which often make decisions on near-term time scales, and for which the most basi...
