Abstract Long‐term (1991–2018) thaw tube measurements highlight widespread permafrost thaw and ground surface (GS) subsidence over a large portion of northwest Canada. Statistically significant positive trends in thaw penetration (TP), measured with respect to a fixed datum, were observed at 18 of 28 sites with data that span three decades at a median rate of 0.8 cm a −1 . This rate implies thawing of about 22 cm of permafrost over the study period. Similarly significant trends in GS subsiden…

Journal: Risk Analysis · DOI: 10.1111/risa.14193 · Citations: 63

Matched topics: climate change

Are people more inclined to adapt to climate change if they believe that climate change is real, caused by human behavior, and/or brings negative consequences? Previous studies provided inconclusive results on the relationship between climate change perceptions and adaptation behavior.

Matched topics: drought

Soil ecosystems are under considerable pressure due to anthropogenic factors, including microplastics (MPs) pollution and drought. However, little is known about the interactive effects of MPs and drought on soil organisms, especially soil micro-food web. We conducted a microcosm experiment with MPs pollution (including two types and two sizes of MPs) and drought to investigate their interaction effects on soil microbial, protist, and nematode communities in soil micro-food web. We found that…

Abstract Runoff from glacierised Andean river basins is essential for sustaining the livelihoods of millions of people. By running a high-resolution climate model over the two most glacierised regions of Peru we unravel past climatic trends in precipitation and temperature. Future changes are determined from an ensemble of statistically downscaled global climate models. Projections under the high emissions scenario suggest substantial increases in temperature of 3.6 °C and 4.1 °C in the two r…

Documenting the uncertainty of climate change projections is a fundamental objective of the inter-comparison exercises organized to feed into the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) reports. Usually, each modeling center contributes to these exercises with one or two configurations of its climate model, corresponding to a particular choice of “free parameter” values, resulting from a long and often tedious “model tuning” phase. How much uncertainty is omitted by this selection an…

Matched topics: drought

In the recent decades, Norway spruce forests (Picea abies Karst.) in Europe have been subject to large-scale tree mortality caused by the spruce bark beetle (Ips typographus L.). The outbreaks were induced by storm-felling events and periods of drought, which are becoming increasingly frequent due to climate change. Because storms and droughts spatially affect forests differently, the infestation patterns and configuration of the bark beetles might differ between storms and drought. In this s…

Flood Vulnerability Models and Household Flood Damage Mitigation Measures: An Econometric Analysis of Survey Data

Authors: Thijs Endendijk, W. J. Wouter Botzen, Hans de Moel, Jeroen C. J. H. Aerts, Kymo Slager, Matthijs Kok

Journal: Water Resources Research · DOI: 10.1029/2022wr034192 · Citations: 45

Matched topics: flood

Abstract Flood events are expected to increase in their frequency and severity, which results in higher flood risk without additional adaptation measures. The information gained from flood risk models is essential in effective disaster risk management. However, vulnerability estimations are often a large driver of uncertainty, and flood damage is rarely estimated due to a lack of empirical damage data from flood events. This study uses a unique data set with experienced damages and the implem…

Matched topics: reservoir

HIV-1 persists in a latent reservoir in resting CD4+ T cells despite antiretroviral therapy (ART). The reservoir decays slowly over the first 7 years of ART (t1/2 = 44 months). However, whether decay continues with long-term ART is unclear. Recent integration site studies indicate gradual selection against inducible, intact proviruses, raising speculation that decades of ART might allow treatment interruption without viral rebound. Therefore, we measured the reservoir in 42 people on long-ter…

Platform-independent and curriculum-oriented intelligent assistant for higher education

Authors: Ramteja Sajja, Yusuf Sermet, David M. Cwiertny, İbrahim Demir

Journal: International Journal of Educational Technology in Higher Education · DOI: 10.1186/s41239-023-00412-7 · Citations: 104

Matched topics: hydrology, streamflow

Abstract Miscommunication between instructors and students is a significant obstacle to post-secondary learning. Students may skip office hours due to insecurities or scheduling conflicts, which can lead to missed opportunities for questions. To support self-paced learning and encourage creative thinking skills, academic institutions must redefine their approach to education by offering flexible educational pathways that recognize continuous learning. To this end, we developed an AI-augmented…


Drivers of accelerated warming in Mediterranean climate-type regions

Authors: Diego Urdiales‐Flores, George Zittis, Panos Hadjinicolaou, Sergey Osipov, Klaus Klingmüller, Nikos Mihalopoulos et al.

Journal: npj Climate and Atmospheric Science · DOI: 10.1038/s41612-023-00423-1 · Citations: 89

Matched topics: streamflow

Abstract The near-surface temperature in Mediterranean climate-type regions has increased overall similarly or more rapidly than the global mean rates. Although these regions have comparable climate characteristics and are located at similar latitudes, recent warming acceleration is most pronounced in the Mediterranean Basin. Here, we investigate the contributions of several climate drivers to regional warming anomalies. We consider greenhouse gases, aerosols, solar irradiance, land–atmospher…

HESS Opinions: Are soils overrated in hydrology?

Authors: Hongkai Gao, F. Fenicia, H. Savenije

Journal: Hydrology and Earth System Sciences · DOI: 10.5194/hess-27-2607-2023 · Citations: 39

Matched topics: hydrology, hydrologic model, streamflow, water management, earth system model

Abstract. Traditional hydrological theories are based on the assumption that soil is key in determining water’s fate in the hydrological cycle. According to these theories, soil hydraulic properties determine water movement in both saturated and unsaturated zones, described by matrix flow formulas such as the Darcy–Richards equations. They also determine plant-available moisture and thereby control transpiration. Here we argue that these theories are founded on a wrong assumption. Instead, we…

Matched topics: seasonal

Remote sensing multi-decadal time-series provide important information for analysing long-term environmental change. The Advanced Very High Resolution Radiometer (AVHRR) has been providing data since the early 1980s. Normalised Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) time-series derived thereof can be used for monitoring vegetation conditions. This study presents the novel TIMELINE NDVI product, which provides a consistent set of daily, 10-day, and monthly NDVI composites at a 1 km spatial resolut…


Study on the spatial–temporal evolution and driving mechanism of urban land green use efficiency in the Yellow River Basin cities

Authors: Haiyang Li, Zhanqi Wang, Mengying Zhu, Chenxu Hu, Chong Liu

Journal: Ecological Indicators · DOI: 10.1016/j.ecolind.2023.110672 · Citations: 45

Matched topics: river, land surface model

Under the current social background of green, sustainable, and high-quality development, countries and regions have increasingly begun to regard green development as a major goal of their economic and social development plans. If the evaluation of urban land use efficiency continues to be based only on economic and social outputs, such research will not conform to the current social development situation. Therefore, this paper introduces negative impacts, such as environmental pollution, into…
