Spatial Dependence of Floods Shaped by Spatiotemporal Variations in Meteorological and Land‐Surface Processes
Authors: Manuela I. Brunner, Eric Gilleland, Andrew W. Wood, Daniel L. Swain, Martyn Clark
Journal: Geophysical Research Letters · DOI: 10.1029/2020gl088000 · Citations: 104
Matched topics: flood
Abstract Floods often affect large regions and cause adverse societal impacts. Regional flood hazard and risk assessments therefore require a realistic representation of spatial flood dependencies to avoid the overestimation or underestimation of risk. However, it is not yet well understood how spatial flood dependence, that is, the degree of co‐occurrence of floods at different locations, varies in space and time and which processes influence the strength of this dependence. We identify regi…

Matched topics: flood
Flood risk management decisions in many countries are based on decision-support frameworks which rely on cost-benefit analyses. Such frameworks are seldom informative about the geographical distribution of risk, raising questions on the fairness of the proposed policies. In the present work, we propose a new decision criterion that accounts for the distribution of risk reduction and apply it to support flood risk management decisions on a transboundary stretch of the Rhine River. Three types …
Drought Analysis and Prediction

In summer 2018, central and northern Europe were stricken by extreme drought and heat (DH2018). The DH2018 differed from previous events in being preceded by extreme spring warming and brightening, but moderate rainfall deficits, yet registering the fastest transition between wet winter conditions and extreme summer drought. Using 11 vegetation models, we show that spring conditions promoted increased vegetation growth, which, in turn, contributed to fast soil moisture depletion, amplifying t…
Identifying areas at risk of drought‐induced tree mortality across South‐Eastern Australia
Authors: Martin G. De Kauwe, Belinda E. Medlyn, Anna Ukkola, Mengyuan Mu, Manon Sabot, A. J. Pitman et al.

South-East Australia has recently been subjected to two of the worst droughts in the historical record (Millennium Drought, 2000-2009 and Big Dry, 2017-2019). Unfortunately, a lack of forest monitoring has made it difficult to determine whether widespread tree mortality has resulted from these droughts. Anecdotal observations suggest the Big Dry may have led to more significant tree mortality than the Millennium drought. Critically, to be able to robustly project future expected climate chang…

To increase resource gain, many herbivores pace their migration with the flush of nutritious plant green-up that progresses across the landscape (termed “green-wave surfing”). Despite concerns about the effects of climate change on migratory species and the critical role of plant phenology in mediating the ability of ungulates to surf, little is known about how drought shapes the green wave and influences the foraging benefits of migration. With a 19 year dataset on drought and plant phenolog…

Matched topics: water management, climate change, earth system model
Climate change manifestation in the ocean, through warming, oxygen loss, increasing acidification, and changing particulate organic carbon flux (one metric of altered food supply), is projected to affect most deep-ocean ecosystems concomitantly with increasing direct human disturbance. Climate drivers will alter deep-sea biodiversity and associated ecosystem services, and may interact with disturbance from resource extraction activities or even climate geoengineering. We suggest that to ensur…
Enriched East Asian oxygen isotope of precipitation indicates reduced summer seasonality in regional climate and westerlies

Matched topics: seasonal
O-depleted years. Reduced summer seasonality is also expressed in the low-level monsoonal southerlies and upper-level westerlies; for the latter, the northward migration across the Tibetan Plateau in the summer is less pronounced. Our result thus implicates the westerlies across the plateau as the proximate cause of East Asian paleomonsoon changes, manifested as a modulation of its summer peak.

Journal: Scientific Reports · DOI: 10.1038/s41598-020-66275-4 · Citations: 80
Matched topics: climate change
We consider alternative history scenarios in which explicit climate mitigation begins before the present day, estimating the total costs to date of delayed action. Considering a 2(1.5) degree Celsius stabilization target, peak costs are greater and reached sooner with a later start to mitigation, reaching 15(17)% of global GDP in 2085(2070) for a 1990 start and 18(35)% in 2080(2035) for a 2020 start. Further mitigation delay costs a best estimate of an additional 0.5(5) trillion dollars per y…

Abstract The future increase in extreme precipitation is likely to have a severe impact on society due to flooding. Previous research has shown the improved representation of precipitation in convection‐permitting models (CPMs), but until now it has not been possible to quantify uncertainties in future changes at convective (<5 km) scales. Here we analyze the first‐ever ensemble of convection‐permitting climate projections run within the UK Climate Projections project. We find that the CPM…

Abstract Simple measures of appropriate levels of soil organic matter are needed for soil evaluation, management and monitoring, based on readily measurable soil properties. We test an index of soil organic matter based on the soil organic carbon (SOC) to clay ratio, defined by thresholds of SOC/clay ratio for specified levels of soil structural quality. The thresholds were originally delineated for a small number of Swiss soils. We assess the index using data from the initial sampling (1978–…

Vegetation phenology has a great impact on land-atmosphere interactions like carbon cycling, albedo, and water and energy exchanges. To understand and predict these critical land-atmosphere feedbacks, it is crucial to measure and quantify phenological responses to climate variability, and ultimately climate change. Coarse-resolution sensors such as MODIS and AVHRR have been useful to study vegetation phenology from regional to global scales. These sensors are, however, not capable of discerni…

C composition that was closer to crop inputs than under native vegetation, suggesting that cultivation has led to faster turnover and incorporation of recent crop carbon into the SIC pool (p < .0001). The losses occurred just 30-100 years after land-use changes, indicating SIC stocks that were stable for millennia can rapidly adjust to increased soil water flows. Large SIC losses (194-242 Mg C/ha) also occurred below 4.9 m deep under irrigated croplands, with SIC losses lagging behind the dow…

Abstract Characterization and prioritization of watersheds has gained importance for proper planning and management of natural resources in sustainable development. Implementation of management practices over a larger area at the same time is inaccessible and uneconomical. So, it has required applying a viable technique for prioritization of critical sub-watersheds. Thus, the present study was aimed to prioritizing erosion-prone sub-watersheds using morphometric analysis. Advanced space-borne…
Behavior and Bio-Interactions of Anthropogenic Particles in Marine Environment for a More Realistic Ecological Risk Assessment

Matched topics: surface water
Due to production, usage and disposal of nano-enabled products as well as fragmentation of bulk materials, anthropogenic nanoscale particles (NPs) can enter the natural environment and through different compartments (air, soil and water) end up into the sea. With the continuous increase of production and associated emissions and discharges, they can reach concentrations able to exceed toxicity-thresholds for living species inhabiting marine coastal areas. Behavior and fate of NPs in marine wa…

Occurrence of pharmaceuticals in the Danube and drinking water wells: Efficiency of riverbank filtration
Authors: Attila Csaba Kondor, Gergely Jakab, Anna Vancsik, Tibor Filep, József Szeberényi, Lili Szabó et al.
Journal: Environmental Pollution · DOI: 10.1016/j.envpol.2020.114893 · Citations: 92
Matched topics: hydrology, surface water
Surface waters are becoming increasingly contaminated by pharmaceutically active compounds (PhACs), which is a potential risk factor for drinking water quality owing to incomplete riverbank filtration. This study examined the efficiency of riverbank filtration with regard to 111 PhACs in a highly urbanized section of the river Danube. One hundred seven samples from the Danube were compared to 90 water samples from relevant drinking water abstraction wells (DWAW) during five sampling periods. …
Quantifying the Effect of the Drake Passage Opening on the Eocene Ocean

Matched topics: earth system model
Abstract The opening of the Drake Passage (DP) during the Cenozoic is a tectonic event of paramount importance for the development of modern ocean characteristics. Notably, it has been suggested that it exerts a primary role in the onset of the Antarctic Circumpolar Current (ACC) formation, in the cooling of high‐latitude South Atlantic waters and in the initiation of North Atlantic Deep Water (NADW) formation. Several model studies have aimed to assess the impacts of DP opening on climate, b…
Revised mass-radius relationships for water-rich rocky planets more irradiated than the runaway greenhouse limit
Authors: Martin Turbet, Émeline Bolmont, D. Ehrenreich, P. Gratier, Jérémy Leconte, Franck Selsis et al.
Journal: Springer Link (Chiba Institute of Technology) · DOI: 10.1051/0004-6361/201937151/pdf · Citations: 81
Matched topics: earth system model
Mass-radius relationships for water-rich rocky planets are usually calculated assuming most water is present in condensed (either liquid or solid) form. Planet density estimates are then compared to these mass-radius relationships, even when these planets are more irradiated than the runaway greenhouse irradiation limit (around 1.1 times the insolation at Earth for planets orbiting a Sun-like star), for which water has been shown to be unstable in condensed form and would instead form a thick…
Stability and Behavior in Carbonate Cores for New Enhanced-Oil-Recovery Polymers at Elevated Temperatures in Hard Saline Brines

Summary The goal of this work was to identify viable polymers for use in the polymer flooding of high-temperature carbonate reservoirs with hard, saline brines. This study extensively examined recent enhanced-oil-recovery (EOR) polymers for stability, including new 2-acrylamido-tertbutylsulfonic acid (ATBS) polymers with a high degree of polymerization, scleroglucan, n-vinylpyrrolidone (NVP)-based polymers, and hydrophobic associative polymers. For each polymer, stability experiments were per…
Wealth, water and wildlife: Landscape aridity intensifies the urban luxury effect

Abstract Aim Urban biodiversity, and its associated ecosystem services, is an important component of the quality of life of urban residents. The “luxury effect” posits a positive association between biodiversity and socioeconomic status in urban areas, and is thus reflective of environmental injustice, as the benefits associated with biodiversity are not equitably shared across society. We aimed to determine the generality of the luxury effect, and to identify the factors causing its variatio…
