The lower Athabasca River (Canada) has experienced notable declines in streamflow and increasing oil sands development since the 1970s. This study investigates potential impacts of climate change on navigability using both observed historical projected future flows derived via hydrological simulations driven by an ensemble statistically downscaled general circulation model data. Our use propose...

Climate change has had a significant impact on the tourism industry in many countries, leading to changes policies and adaptations attract more visitors. However, there are few studies effects of climate Sri Lanka’s income, despite its importance as destination for tourists. A study was conducted analyze holiday index (HCI) urban beach destinations address this gap. The analysis covered histori...

Abstract A high-resolution third-generation wave model based on unstructured grids, WAVEWATCH III (WW3), was used to study the projected future climate of Bass Strait and south-east Australia under two different greenhouse gas emission scenarios (SSP1-2.6 SSP5-8.5). The model, forced with winds from Australian ACCESS-CM2 Global Climate Model, shows good agreement coastal long-term buoy observat...

To support the development of national adaptation policies and measures addressing climate change impacts over Italy, this work aims to analyze projected changes in mean temperatures precipitations, extreme events such as droughts floods, highlighting some local trends different Italian regions that have been little considered date. The investigations are made on basis a set high-resolution Eur...

Coastal delta plains are areas with high agricultural potential for the Mediterranean region because of their soil fertility, but they also constitute fragile systems in terms water resources management interaction underlying aquifers sea. Such a case is Pinios River plain located central Greece, which constitutes significant ecosystem. Soil and Water Assessment Tool (SWAT) SEAWAT models were c...

Abstract Wind energy is one of the key renewable resources contributing to climate change mitigation policies in national and international transition strategies. However, itself can affect availability wind resources, due possible future changes large-scale circulation pattern. This study aims understand whether how what extent current affecting producibility Italy. In this analysis, 10 m spee...

Shifts in winter temperature and precipitation patterns can profoundly affect snow accumulation melt regimes. These shifts have varying impacts on local to large-scale hydro-ecological systems freshwater distribution, especially cold regions with high hydroclimatic heterogeneity. We evaluate climate changes the six ecozones (Mountains, Foothills, Prairie, Parkland, Boreal, Taiga) Alberta, Canad...

Abstract. In this paper future changes of surface water availability in Austria are investigated. We use an ensemble downscaled and bias-corrected regional climate model simulations the EURO-CORDEX initiative under moderate mitigation (RCP4.5) Paris Agreement (RCP2.6) emission scenarios. The climatic balance its components (rainfall, snow melt, glacier melt atmospheric evaporative demand) used ...

Accurate climate projections help policymakers mitigate the negative effects of climatic changes and prioritize environmental issues based on scientific evidences. These rely heavily outputs GCMs (General Circulation Models), but large number their different in each region confuses researchers selection. In this paper, we analyzed performance a CMIP6 (Climate Model Intercomparison Project Phase...
