Research problems linked to this topic
- Climate change is affecting biodiversity worldwide, with evidence mounting about its impacts on different ecologies, groups of species and stages of a species lifecycle
- CO2 capture, storage and utilization (CCUS) is one of the dominant strategies to mitigate climate change but high capture cost is still a common challenge of existing techniques
- Precipitation-related extremes are among the most impact-relevant consequences of a warmer climate, particularly for China, a region vulnerable to global warming and with a large population.
- Extreme summer temperatures can cause severe societal impacts.
- Increases in tropospheric ozone (O3) abundance are likely to take place in the near future in the populous and rapidly developing countries in the tropics and subtropics.
- major challenge in forecasting the ecological consequences of climate change is understanding the relative importance of changes to mean conditions vs.
- In a changing climate, understanding the frequency of weather extremes is crucial to improving the management of the associated risks.
- Regional climate models (RCMs) constitute a powerful tool to study and understand climate variability and change at local scales.
- Climate change in the Arctic is creating complex new security challenges, primarily environmental and political.
- Quantifying the contributions of climate change and human activities on runoff changes is of great importance for water resource management, sustainable water resource utilization, and sustainable development of society.
- Climate has a key impact on building energy efficiency.
- Multi-site rainfall models are useful tools to provide synthetic realizations of spatially-correlated rainfall at multiple stations, which are of great importance for flood and drought risk assessment and climate change impact analysis.
- Significant uncertainty exists in regional climate change projections, particularly for rainfall and other hydro-climate variables.
- Drought is the most complex and natural phenomenon that has momentous influences on economic, social, water resources, agriculture production and environment.
- The degree day or temperature index snowmelt modelling approach has been adapted to provide a simple conceptual, semi-distributed snowmelt-runoff model suitable for large-scale climate impact investigations.
- The climate variability in global land precipitation is important for the global hydrological cycle.
- Climate change produced by global warming is one of the environmental problems of the 21st century at a global and local level.
- Satellite-based estimation of mean annual ground temperature (MAGT) is important to allow large-scale temperature monitoring, but an optimum method has yet to be defined.
- Higher concentration of tropospheric ozone in atmosphere reveals its adverse effects on human health, plants, and on environment.
