One of the main consequences of climate change in Brazil is the increase in the occurrence of extreme rainfall, which in turn trigger Hydrometeorological disasters; the Brazilian continental dimension, the regional characteristics of... more
This chapter examines avenues for realizing effective responses to mounting 'climate refugee' justice issues through UN refugee and climate policy mechanisms and institutions. It begins with a discussion of key normative justice issues... more
Growing scientific evidence suggests that human-induced climate change will bring about large-scale environmental changes such as sea-level rise and coastal flooding, extreme weather events and agricultural disruptions. The speed and... more
ABSTRACT Weather Forecast stations are used for the prediction of future weather conditions. These systems require intensive human efforts and are sometimes inaccurate in its prediction. Wireless weather monitoring stations are created... more
This book is intended as a commented summary of some of the major trends and most important features that can be encountered when analysing ancient Egyptian society of the Old Kingdom. We have to bear in mind that around 3000 BCE one of... more
Automated Forecasting System have been shown to be highly effective in providing a wide range of integrated capabilities for time series analysis and forecasting, econometrics and systems modeling and financial analysis and reporting. We... more
The Expert Team on Sector-specific Climate Indices (ET-SCI) for daily temperature and precipitation were analyzed for Mt Makulu (Latitude: 15.550° S, Longitude: 28.250° E, Elevation: 1200 meter) in Zambia. The study objective was to... more
RESUMEN: Estudios recientes indican que las motillas –asentamientos de la Edad del Bronce en La Mancha (España)– constituyen uno de los más antiguos sistemas de captación de agua subterránea en Europa. Se presenta la primera investigación... more
This study is motivated by the sharp contrast between physical and probabilistic models of civil engineering. The current practice focuses on physical models while probabilistic ones are relatively underdeveloped. This unbalance can even... more
The date palm scale (DPS) Parlatoria blanchardi is a serious pest due to the damage it inflicts on its host tree (Phoenix dactylifera). To develop an effective control against DPS in arid regions, it is essential to know its bio-ecology... more
The Eastern Mediterranean is one of the most prominent hot spots of climate change in the world and extreme climatic phenomena in this region such as drought or extreme rainfall events are expected to become more frequent and intense. In... more
Egypt has been stricken by several extreme weather events during the last decades. The most famous heat wave was during winter season of 2010 and summer season of 2015.
In this study, changes in the spatial and temporal patterns of climate extreme indices were analyzed. Daily maximum and minimum air temperature, precipitation, and their association with climate change were used as the basis for tracking... more
Month by month analysis of precipitation in England and Wales 1766-2016 is carried out at an annual time scale for all twelve calendar months. No evidence of dependence, long term memory, or persistence is found. All twelve of the... more
The Hindu Kush-Himalayan (HKH) region epitomizes a geographic region where cryospheric processes coupled with hydrological regimes are under threat owing to a warming climate and shifts in climate extremes. In this study, we analyse... more
In this study, we have analysed seasonal and annual trends in rainfall and rainy days over Himachal Pradesh, an Indian state located in Western Himalayas. Based upon rainfall data of 37 stations for the period 1951-2005, it is found that... more
Alternatively, to other studies that used parametric distributions (e.g. Gamma) in the estimation of the Standardized Precipitation Index (SPI), this study aims to apply a nonparametric method based on Kernel Density Estimator (KDE) for... more
It was the objective of this study to characterize erosional and depositional sedimentary features caused by overwash events at barrier islands. Investigations took place at the East Frisian Island of Norderney as well as at the North... more
Coral reefs have largely declined across multiple spatial scales due to a combination of local-scale anthropogenic impacts, and due to regional-global climate change. This has resulted in a significant loss of entire coral functional... more
The explosion of data in the information age has provided an opportunity to explore the possibility of characterizing the climate patterns using data mining techniques. Nigeria has a unique tropical climate with two precipitation regimes:... more
Extreme climate events are becoming more frequent and severe due to climate change. Vulnerability to extremes is the result of three components: exposure to hazards, sensitivity of the system, and capacity to adapt. A large-scale... more
As a continuation of the first paper from the late medieval drought series related to medieval Hungary, we present, analyse and compare further late medieval drought data, based on contemporary direct and indirect written sources. The... more
Extreme climate events are becoming more frequent and severe due to climate change. Vulnerability to extremes is the result of three components: exposure to hazards, sensitivity of the system, and capacity to adapt. A large-scale... more
Bangladesh is highly vulnerable to climate change along with the adverse impacts of climate change. This paper aims to reveal the debates about climate change and extreme weather events. It considers Bangladesh as a case to understand the... more
This paper offers insights for assessing organizational resilience to the effects of climate change, specifically to climate and weather extremes. The assessment of organizational resilience to climate and weather extremes brings about... more
