Wave dynamics contribute significantly to coastal hazards and were thus investigated at Vougot Beach by simulating both historical projected future waves considering climate change impacts. The period included a major storm event. This was the using three globally averaged sea level rise (SLR) scenarios for 2100, combined SLR wave A1B, A2, B1 emissions paths of IPCC. predicts an increase in occ...

The North Wyke Farm Platform (NWFP) provides data from the field- to the farm-scale, enabling the research community to address key issues in sustainable agriculture better and to test models that are capable of simulating soil, plant and animal processes involved in the systems. The tested models can then be used to simulate how agro-ecosystems will respond to changes in the environment and ma...

Digital video databases are widely available in compressed format. In many applications such as video browsing, picture in picture, video conferencing etc. data transfer at lower bit rate is required. This requires downscaling of the video before transmission. The conventional spatial domain approach for downscaling video is computationally very expensive. The computation can greatly be reduced...

The World Climate Research Programme (WCRP) is backing an international initiative called the COordinated Regional climate Downscaling EXperiment (CORDEX). The goal of the initiative is to provide regionally downscaled climate projections for most land regions of the globe, as a compliment to the global climate model projections performed within the fifth Coupled Model Intercomparison Project (...

The goal of this study was to test the sensitivity of water yield to forest thinning and other forest management/disturbances and climate across the conterminous United States (CONUS). Leaf area index (LAI) was selected as a key parameter linking changes in forest ecosystem structure and functions. We used the Water Supply Stress Index model to examine water yield response under 18 scenarios th...
