Climate change or global warming occurs constantly. Climate change drivers including temperature, moisture, altered rainfall pattern, and greenhouse gases (GHGs) are likely to have harmful effects on different soil properties and processes. The results of the changed climatic conditions are environmental ...
The implementation of adaptation strategies of agriculture and forestry to climate change is conditioned by the knowledge of the impacts of climate change on the vegetation cycle and of the associated uncertainties. Using the same generic Land Surface Model (LSM) to simulate the response of various ...
【推荐1】Atoms and molecules in the air move constantly.1In high-pressure systems, the molecules inside the system move faster than those that surround it. The opposite occurs in low-pressure systems, where the air inside the low is moving more slowly than in the surrounding area. ...
Urbanization and climate change are contributing to severe flooding globally, damaging infrastructure, disrupting economies, and undermining human well-being. Approaches to make cities more resilient to floods are emerging, notably with the design of flood-resilient structures, but relatively little is kno...
Methaneis a combustible gas, and it is the main component of natural gas. Methane occurs naturally through the decomposition of organic material and is often encountered in the form of "swamp gas." Man-made processes produce methane in several ways: ...
Cities are on the front lines of this public health emergency. People living in urban areas are among the hardest hit when heatwaves happen, partly because ofurban heat islands. This is a phenomenon that occurs when cities replace the natural land cover with dense concentrations of surfaces that...
the magnitude of the flood that occurs at a given return period. The return periods of interest lie in the 100 – 10,000 years range. Relying on a purposely-designed classification of atmospheric circulations into weather patterns, and assigning a catchment-specific asymptotical coefficient to ...
And really, that's the crux of the whole issue. At this point in the climate change crisis, we know what we must do to turn things around. Even better, we have the technologies and techniques to do it. But we need to deploy them. That means everything: solar in all its forms, fr...

Headlines about how climate change is already causing disasters and biodiversity loss tend to induce panic and an extreme urge to binge-watch movies or otherwise escape thoughts about the complex actions needed to address global warming. Still, at heart, this isthe critical factor. ...
