As the largest single chunk of melting snow and ice in the world, the massive ice sheet that covers about 80 percent of Greenland is recognized as the biggest potential contributor to rising sea levels due to glacial meltwater. Researchers moved around the ice sheet by helicopter because the ...
The land-cover changes in the WRB between 1980 and 2015 were quite minor, hence the SWAT setup used the land-cover map for year 2000 (1 km × 1 km resolution) to represent the full study period. The soil map was obtained from the Ecological and Environmental Science Data Center...
Protecting urban atolls from the effects of sea level rise requires non-structural and structural measures with uncertain design lives that may fail sooner as conditions change. A Dynamic Adaptive Policy Pathways approach uses the 'Metro-map' decision tree (seen below) to visualize multiple pathways ...
The EU has integrated aspects of the recommendations into its regulatory reporting requirements, and a number of countries, such as the UK, have indicated an intention to consider enshrining them in domestic laws[19]. The significance of the recommendations is underlined by the fact that more than...
atroparvus in England resulting from rising sea levels causing an expansion of coastal marshland. Although an increased risk of malaria has to be planned for in the UK, it is unlikely that the disease will re-establish itself in the UK or other developed countries for a variety of reasons....
Sea surface temperature had the highest overall association with shark and ray extinction risk, with a greater importance for rays (32.4% AVI) than sharks (19.8% AVI; Fig. 3c), possibly indicating a latitudinal effect, where there are fewer threatened species in more tropical waters. Primary pr...
Figures are based on or derived from sea level rise data produced by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA SLR Viewer, 2017); parcel, land use, and tax data from the Massachusetts Area Planning Council (MAPC, 2018); and municipal fiscal data from the Municipal Databank of...
With sizeable potential penalties for data breaches – in the UK, the fine can be up to £17.5m or 4% of the company’s total annual worldwide turnover the previous year – having a robust data strategy makes sense not only from a marketing perspective, but as a business imperative. ...
