The IPCC AR6 assessment of the impacts and risks associated with projected climate changes for the 21st-century is both alarming and ambiguous. According to computer projections, global surface temperature may warm from 1.3 °C to 8.0 °C by 2100, depending on the global climate model (GCM) and the shared socioeconomic pathway (SSP) scenario used for the simulations. Actual climate-change hazards are estimated to be high and very high if the global surface temperature rises, respectively, more …

Abstract. Future sea-level rise projections are characterized by both quantifiable uncertainty and unquantifiable structural uncertainty. Thorough scientific assessment of sea-level rise projections requires analysis of both dimensions of uncertainty. Probabilistic sea-level rise projections evaluate the quantifiable dimension of uncertainty; comparison of alternative probabilistic methods provides an indication of structural uncertainty. Here we describe the Framework for Assessing Changes T…

Matched topics: hydropower
Efforts to avoid the acceleration of global warming have tended to focus on countries with high CO2 emissions levels and large populations, with a high level of economic development or industrialization. African countries, which often do not conform to such criteria, are more vulnerable to climate change due to their dependence on climate-sensitive industries and their limited infrastructure and technological capacity to cope with its impacts. The long-term economic growth rates projected for…

Abstract Since 2019, Central South America (CSA) has been reeling under drought conditions, with the last 4 months of 2022 receiving only 44% of the average total precipitation. Simultaneously to the drought, a series of record-breaking heat waves has affected the region. The rainfall deficit during October–November-December (OND) is highly correlated with the Niño3.4 index, indicating that the OND 2022 rainfall deficit is partly driven by La Niña, as observed in previous droughts in this reg…

Climate change is projected to alter rainfall patterns in many parts of the US and around the world, highlighting the importance of stormwater management systems within resiliency efforts. Stormwater systems typically are designed based on historical rainfall records with the assumption of climate stationarity. This assumption is no longer valid for many locations, leaving a gap in the knowledge about how to ensure that these systems will meet the desired level of service over their design li…

Abstract. As the climate warms, the grounded ice sheet and floating ice shelves surrounding Antarctica are melting and releasing additional freshwater into the Southern Ocean. Nonetheless, almost all existing coupled climate models have fixed ice sheets and lack the physics required to represent the dominant sources of Antarctic melt. These missing ice dynamics represent a key uncertainty that is typically unaccounted for in current global climate change projections. Previous modelling studie…

The International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) Red List is a central tool for extinction risk monitoring and influences global biodiversity policy and action. But, to be effective, it is crucial that it consistently accounts for each driver of extinction. Climate change is rapidly becoming a key extinction driver, but consideration of climate change information remains challenging for the IUCN. Several methods can be used to predict species’ future decline, but they often fail to p…

Flood exposure has been linked to shifts in population sizes and composition. Traditionally, these changes have been observed at a local level providing insight to local dynamics but not general trends, or at a coarse resolution that does not capture localized shifts. Using historic flood data between 2000-2023 across the Contiguous United States (CONUS), we identify the relationships between flood exposure and population change. We demonstrate that observed declines in population are statist…
Machine Learning and AI for Hydrological Prediction

A species’ response to spatial climatic variation does not predict its response to climate change

Journal: Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences · DOI: 10.1073/pnas.2304404120 · Citations: 64
Matched topics: climate change
The dominant paradigm for assessing ecological responses to climate change assumes that future states of individuals and populations can be predicted by current, species-wide performance variation across spatial climatic gradients. However, if the fates of ecological systems are better predicted by past responses to in situ climatic variation through time, this current analytical paradigm may be severely misleading. Empirically testing whether spatial or temporal climate responses better pred…

The Future of Municipal Wastewater Reuse Concentrate Management: Drivers, Challenges, and Opportunities
Authors: Casey Finnerty, Amy E. Childress, Kevin M. Hardy, Eric M.V. Hoek, Meagan S. Mauter, Megan H. Plumlee et al.

Matched topics: streamflow, water management
Water reuse is rapidly becoming an integral feature of resilient water systems, where municipal wastewater undergoes advanced treatment, typically involving a sequence of ultrafiltration (UF), reverse osmosis (RO), and an advanced oxidation process (AOP). When RO is used, a concentrated waste stream is produced that is elevated in not only total dissolved solids but also metals, nutrients, and micropollutants that have passed through conventional wastewater treatment. Management of this RO co…
Comprehensive Analysis of the NOAA National Water Model: A Call for Heterogeneous Formulations and Diagnostic Model Selection

Abstract With an increasing number of continental‐scale hydrologic models, the ability to evaluate performance is key to understanding uncertainty and making improvements to the model(s). We hypothesize that any model, running a single set of physics, cannot be “properly” calibrated for the range of hydroclimatic diversity as seen in the contenintal United States. Here, we evaluate the NOAA National Water Model (NWM) version 2.0 historical streamflow record in over 4,200 natural and controlle…

The development of latency reversing agents that potently reactivate HIV without inducing global T cell activation would benefit the field of HIV reservoir research and could pave the way to a functional cure. Here, we explore the reactivation capacity of a lipid nanoparticle containing Tat mRNA (Tat-LNP) in CD4 T cells from people living with HIV undergoing antiretroviral therapy (ART). When combined with panobinostat, Tat-LNP induces latency reversal in a significantly higher proportion of …

Six Consecutive Seasons of High‐Resolution Mountain Snow Depth Maps From Satellite Stereo Imagery
Authors: J. Michelle Hu, David Shean, Shashank Bhushan
Journal: Geophysical Research Letters · DOI: 10.1029/2023gl104871 · Citations: 27
Matched topics: hydrology, streamflow, seasonal
Abstract Fine‐scale seasonal snow depth observations can improve estimates of snow water equivalent at critical times of year. Airborne lidar is the current gold standard for snow depth measurement, but it involves high costs and relatively limited coverage. Using very‐high‐resolution satellite stereo images from WorldView‐2, WorldView‐3, and Pléiades‐HR 1A/1B, we produced a six‐year time series (2017–2022) of spatially continuous digital elevation models for an 874 km 2 study area over Grand…

Response of soil erosion to climate change and vegetation restoration in the Ganjiang River Basin, China

Journal: Ecological Indicators · DOI: 10.1016/j.ecolind.2023.111429 · Citations: 30
Matched topics: river, climate change
In the context of global warming it remains challenging to evaluate declining of soil erosion due to ecological engineering measures, and to isolate and quantify the contributions of various factors involved in soil erosion. For this study, soil erosion and soil conservation dynamics in the Ganjiang River Basin (GRB) in southeast China were quantitatively assessed based on the Integrated Ecosystem Services and Tradeoff Assessment (InVEST) model. Based on the analysis of the attribution factor…
