Atmospheric warming induced changes in future rainfall and implications on water and agriculture in India
The projected rainfall change under various scenarios is likely to have both positive and negative implications on agriculture and water supply because in rainfall pattern across the country. Rise in rainfall is seen over all states except Punjab, Rajasthan and Tamil Nadu, which show slight decrease in precipitation in the future scenarios. Marked increase in covering the Western Ghats and nort...
متن کاملVariation in Population Vulnerability to Heat Wave in Western Australia
Heat waves (HWs) have killed more people in Australia than all other natural hazards combined. Climate change is expected to increase the frequency, duration, and intensity of HWs and leads to a doubling of heat-related deaths over the next 40 years. Despite being a significant public health issue, HWs do not attract the same level of attention from researchers, policy makers, and emergency man...
متن کاملFuture population exposure to US heat extremes
Extreme heat events are likely to become more frequent in the coming decades owing to climate change1,2. Exposure to extreme heat depends not only on changing climate, but also on changes in the size and spatial distribution of the human population. Here we provide a new projection of population exposure to extremeheat for the continentalUnited States that takes into account both of these facto...
متن کاملFuture heat vulnerability in California, Part II: projecting future heat-related mortality
Through the 21 century, a significant increase in heat events is likely across California (USA). Beyond any climate change, the state will become more vulnerable through demographic changes resulting in a rapidly aging population. To assess these impacts, future heat-related mortality estimates are derived for nine metropolitan areas in the state for the remainder of the century. Heat-related m...
متن کاملModelling Vulnerability and Range Shifts in Ant Communities Responding to Future Global Warming in Temperate Forests
Global warming is likely leading to species' distributional shifts, resulting in changes in local community compositions and diversity patterns. In this study, we applied species distribution models to evaluate the potential impacts of temperature increase on ant communities in Korean temperate forests, by testing hypotheses that 1) the risk of extinction of forest ant species would increase ov...
