POTENTIAL IMPACTS OF CLIMATE CHANGE ON THE TROPICAL ANDES

Potential Impacts of Climate Change on the Tropical Andes

Are investigated climate change impacts on glacier melt discharge in the tropical Andes given its relevance to water resources. The means are the investigation of net radiation and potential glacier melt trends. For such purposes is assessed the investigation of the Surface and Energy Balance algorithm (SEBAL) performance, and is carried a practical application to establish the relevance of the...

Climate change. Threats to water supplies in the tropical Andes.

to emphasize those measurements of our local astrophysical laboratory that will best illuminate how these fundamental cosmic entities operate. Moreover, observations to date already indicate that the Saturn system is literally changing before our eyes. We anticipate that even more dramatic transformations in our neighborhood's astrophysical laboratory will be monitored by Cassini's instruments ...

Assessment of potential climate change impacts on drought indicators (Case study: Yazd station, Central Iran)

This research studies the potential impact of climate change on future trend and changes of two well known drought indicators namely RDI and SPI in Yazd meteorological station, in central part of Iran. For this purpose, data of HadCM3 model that were resulted from GCM-runs based on the IPCC-SRES scenarios of A2 and B2 were acquired and analyzed for projection of daily Tmin, Tmax and precipitati...

Examining the potential impacts of climate change on international security: EU-Africa partnership on climate change

ABSTRACT Climate Change like many global problems nowadays is recognized as a threat to the international security and cooperation. In theoretical terms, it is being securitized and included in the traditional security studies. Climate change and its accompanying environmental degradation are perceived to be a threat that can have incalculable consequences on the international community. The co...
