The impact of climate change on soil temperatures at Kuujjuaq, Quebec in northern Canada is assessed. First, long-term historical temperature records (1967–1995) are statistically analyzed to provide a climatological baseline for soils 5 150 cm depths. Next, the nature relationship between atmospheric variables and determined using statistical downscaling model (SDSM) National Centers Environme...

Climate change is found to be the most important global issue in the 21st century, so to monitor its trend is of great importance. Atmospheric General Circulation Models because of their large scale computational grid are not able to predict climatic parameters on a point scale, so small scale methods should be adapted. Among downscaling methods, statistical methods are used as they are easy to...

flood is one of the most calamitous natural disasters that causes extensive property and life damages across theworld. it however, could be a blessing due to its special natural water resources recharging value. by simulating themagnitude of probable floods considering the anthropogenic and natural effects and implementing contingency plans,their damages could be reduced. in this paper, the gen...

Abstract This study explored the combined impacts of climate and land-use change on mini-hydropower generation in Kyambura watershed. The soil water assessment tool (SWAT) was used as a hydrological model whereas statistical downscaling (SDSM) to downscale meteorological data for watershed year 2050. results show that there will be an increase urban land by 11.89%, barren 25.78%, 0.49% reductio...

Freshwater reservoirs are widely recognized as methane (CH4) emission hotspots. Existing research has shown that temperature and hydrological conditions significantly affect wetland CH4 cycling processes. However, the feedback of cycle to climate warming remains unclear for deep where seasonal water thermal stratification exists. This study combined a reservoir model Statistical DownScaling Mod...

Climate change is one of the leading issues affecting river basins due to its direct impacts on cryosphere and hydrosphere. General circulation models (GCMs) are widely applied tools assess climate but coarse spatial resolution GCMs limit their application for local studies. This study selected five CMIP5 (CCSM4, HadCM3, GFDL-CM3, MRI-CGCM3 CanESM2) performance evaluation ranked by Nash–Sutclif...

Climate change is likely to have severe effects on water availability in Ethiopia. The aim of the present study was to assess the impact of climate change on the Gilgel Abay River, Upper Blue Nile Basin. The Statistical Downscaling Tool (SDSM) was used to downscale the HadCM3 (Hadley centre Climate Model 3) Global Circulation Model (GCM) scenario data into finer scale resolution. The Soil and W...
