BACKGROUND The Arctic and subarctic area are likely to be highly affected by climate change, with possible impacts on human health due to effects on food security and infectious diseases. OBJECTIVES To investigate the evidence for an association between climatic factors and infectious diseases, and to identify the most climate-sensitive diseases and vulnerable populations in the Arctic and su...

Following over 20 years of research on the climatic effects on biodiversity we now have strong evidence that climate change affects phenology, fitness, and distribution ranges of different taxa, including birds. Bird phenology likely responds to changes in local weather. It is also affected by climatic year-to-year variations on larger scales. Although such scale-related effects are common in e...

Using outdoor public spaces as a place of social interaction is in a great consideration these days. Providing tolerable thermal condition as long as possible is one of the primary stage for people’s presence in these places. Outdoor thermal indices are introduced to help architects making appropriate decisions in climate responsive design procedure. By doing some field study research in extr...

Seasonal and inter-annual climate variability have become important issues for farmers, and climate change has been shown to increase them. Simultaneously farmers and agricultural organizations are increasingly collecting observational data about in situ crop performance. Agriculture thus needs new tools to cope with changing environmental conditions and to take advantage of these data. Data mi...

due to urbanization and consequent environmental problems in iran, many people have been interested in improving the weather quality. lack of information about health risks as a result of pollution is a big obstacle which stops policy-making in this regard. the present study examines the type of relationship between low air quality and tehran citizens’ willingness to pay in order to improve wea...

undoubtly it can be said that climate and how weather conditions effect on building shape including limited architecture elements which has been noticed at the beginning of making shelter by human beings and the principle of this need has not been changed by passing time and changing the styles and movements and definitions of art and beauty and changing needs and attitudes and expanding archit...

Weather prediction is a real time challenging issue witnessed by the world in the last decade. The prediction is becoming more complex due to the ever changing weather conditions. Many models have been discussed for predicting the weather data assuming the related attributes as independent variables. For effective analysis of the weather, it is necessary to understand various influencing factor...
