Abstract Urban flooding is a perennial problem, especially in developing countries with relatively weak infrastructure under ever‐increasing stress due to climate change and human activities. We simulate the temporally variable flood‐water depth and inundation area under four designed rainfall patterns in the typical tropical rainforest city of Hue, Vietnam. The four rainfall types are R1 (peak at fifth hour), R2 (peak at 20th hour), R3 (peak at first hour), and R4 (peak at 13th hour). Result…

High temperatures and low precipitation, especially in August, mostly explained these large-scale patterns, with small- to medium-sized trees, steep slopes, and shallow soils being important regional risk factors. Early wilting revealed a lasting impact on forest productivity, with affected trees showing reduced greenness in the following spring. Our approach reliably detects early wilting at the resolution of large ind…

Matched topics: climate change
Abstract Climate change policy is generally modeled as a global collective action problem structured by free-riding concerns. Drawing on quantitative data, archival work, and elite interviews, we review empirical support for this model and find that the evidence for its claims is weak relative to the theory’s pervasive influence. We find, first, that the strongest collective action claims appear empirically unsubstantiated in many important climate politics cases. Second, collective action cl…

Matched topics: climate change
The dynamics of climate change politics have thrown up two fundamental, and entirely contradictory, challenges for political economy in the last 10 years. On the one hand, the new science of ‘net zero emissions’ has produced a growing recognition that a world without fossil fuels is both absolutely necessary and utterly transformative. On the other hand, civilizational collapse (absolute declines in human populations, collapse of food production systems, collapse of social institutions) is no…

Abstract The past 20 years of research using Earth system models (ESMs) is reviewed with an emphasis on results from the ESM based on MIROC (Model for Interdisciplinary Research on Climate) developed in Japan. Earth system models are climate models incorporating biogeochemical processes such as the carbon cycle. The development of ESM was triggered by studies of the feedback between climate change and the carbon cycle. State-of-the-art ESMs are much more realistic than the first ESMs. They no…

Climate change is already affecting agro-ecosystems and threatening food security by reducing crop productivity and increasing harvest uncertainty. Mobilizing crop diversity could be an efficient way to mitigate its impact. We test this hypothesis in pearl millet, a nutritious staple cereal cultivated in arid and low-fertility soils in sub-Saharan Africa. We analyze the genomic diversity of 173 landraces collected in West Africa together with an extensive climate dataset composed of metrics o…

Abstract. Despite showing a great success of applications in many commercial fields, machine learning and data science models in general, show a limited use in scientific fields including hydrology. The approach is often criticized for lack of interpretability and physical consistency. This has led to the emergence of new paradigms, such as Theory Guided Data Science (TGDS) and physics informed machine learning. The motivation behind such approaches is to improve the physical meaningfulness o…

Abstract. Models of soil organic carbon (SOC) storage and turnover can be useful tools to analyse the effects of soil and crop management practices and climate change on soil organic carbon stocks. The aggregated structure of soil is known to protect SOC from decomposition and, thus, influence the potential for long-term sequestration. In turn, the turnover and storage of SOC affects soil aggregation, physical and hydraulic properties and the productive capacity of soil. These two-way interac…

Sea ice and atmospheric circulation shape the high-latitude lapse rate feedback
Authors: Nicole Feldl, Stephen Po–Chedley, Hansi Singh, Stephanie Hay, Paul J. Kushner
Journal: npj Climate and Atmospheric Science · DOI: 10.1038/s41612-020-00146-7 · Citations: 120
Matched topics: earth system model
Abstract Arctic amplification of anthropogenic climate change is widely attributed to the sea-ice albedo feedback, with its attendant increase in absorbed solar radiation, and to the effect of the vertical structure of atmospheric warming on Earth’s outgoing longwave radiation. The latter lapse rate feedback is subject, at high latitudes, to a myriad of local and remote influences whose relative contributions remain unquantified. The distinct controls on the high-latitude lapse rate feedback …

Matched topics: hydrology
This review provides a synthesis of current knowledge on the morphological and functional traits of testate amoebae, a polyphyletic group of protists commonly used as proxies of past hydrological changes in paleoecological investigations from peatland, lake sediment and soil archives. A trait-based approach to understanding testate amoebae ecology and paleoecology has gained in popularity in recent years, with research showing that morphological characteristics provide complementary informati…
Poleward Shift of Atmospheric Rivers in the Southern Hemisphere in Recent Decades
Authors: Weiming Ma, Gang Chen, Bin Guan
Journal: Geophysical Research Letters · DOI: 10.1029/2020gl089934 · Citations: 79
Matched topics: river, earth system model
Abstract The atmospheric river (AR) frequency trends over the Southern Hemisphere are investigated using three reanalyses and two Community Earth System Model (CESM) ensembles. The results show that AR frequency has been increasing over the Southern Ocean and decreasing over lower latitudes in the past four decades and that ARs have been shifting poleward. While the observed trends are mostly driven by the poleward shift of the westerly jet, fully coupled CESM experiments indicate anthropogen…
Constraining Remote River Discharge Estimation Using Reach‐Scale Geomorphology
Authors: Craig Brinkerhoff, Colin J. Gleason, Dongmei Feng, Peirong Lin
Journal: Water Resources Research · DOI: 10.1029/2020wr027949 · Citations: 75
Matched topics: hydrologic model, river, surface water
Abstract Recent advances in remote sensing and the upcoming launch of the joint NASA/CNES/CSA/UKSA Surface Water and Ocean Topography (SWOT) satellite point toward improved river discharge estimates in ungauged basins. Existing discharge methods rely on “prior river knowledge” to infer parameters not directly measured from space. Here, we show that discharge estimation is improved by classifying and parameterizing rivers based on their unique geomorphology and hydraulics. Using over 370,000 i…
