U.S. Natural Resources and Climate Change: Concepts and Approaches for Management Adaptation

Public lands and waters in the United States traditionally have been managed using frameworks and objectives that were established under an implicit assumption of stable climatic conditions. However, projected climatic changes render this assumption invalid. Here, we summarize general principles for management adaptations that have emerged from a major literature review. These general principle...

Simulations of Adaptation-Oriented Strategy for Climate Variability

A coupled atmosphere-ocean-land model MSSG has been developed in the Earth Simulator Center, which is designed to model multi-scale interactions among the atmosphere, the ocean and the coupled system. In this project of this fiscal year, we focused on introducing computational optimization architecture to the MSSG to be run with maximizing the computational power of the Earth Simulator 2. As th...

National assessment of climate resources for tourism seasonality in Iran using the tourism climate index

Weather and climate have a strong influence on tourism and the recreation sector, which is a very important industry. Since tourism is becoming one of the main industries all over the world, it plays an important role in promoting national and local economic development. This paper attempts to show the role of climate in tourism seasonality and tries to study the impacts of climate resources on...
