The vulnerability of shrimp farming income to climate change events

Vulnerability, Income Growth and Climate Change

Cross-country data on energy consumption, GDP and vulnerability are used to measure percentage changes in vulnerability associated with percentage changes in per capita GDP and per capita energy consumption. Energy consumption, through its nonlinear effects on per capita income, have the effect of reducing a country’s overall vulnerability to climate change by a greater amount at moderate incom...

Vulnerability of the Cordilleran Ice Sheet to iceberg calving during late Quaternary rapid climate change events

[1] We present the first high-resolution record of iceberg calving on the continental slope of Vancouver Island, British Columbia (MD02-2496, 48 58N, 127 02W, 1243 m water depth), through the last glacial from the Cordilleran Ice Sheet (CIS). These previously unknown ice-rafted debris (IRD) events representing significant retreat of the western margin of the CIS out of marine waters show little...

Accepted Article Climate Variability and Vulnerability to Climate Change: a Review Running Head: Climate Variability and Vulnerability Climate Variability and Vulnerability to Climate Change: a Review

The focus of the great majority of climate change impact studies is on changes in mean climate. In terms of climate model output, these changes are more robust than changes in climate variability. By concentrating on changes in climate means, the full impacts of climate change on biological and human systems are probably being seriously underestimated. Here we briefly review the possible impact...
