In this study, an integrated system for the comprehensive analysis of climate change, runoff, reservoir operation, and power generation was developed. In order to apply reliable climate change scenarios to the Geum River Basin, we applied representative concentration pathway (RCP) scenarios adopted by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change for its fifth assessment report in 2014 to the s...

abstract in this study, impact of climate change on net irrigation requirement (in) and yield of wheat using cgcm3 climate projection model, one of the aogcm models, in behshahr area is evaluated. changes in temperature and precipitation were simulated run under the ipcc scenario a2 for 2011-2040, 2041-2070 and 2071-2100 periods. this work was done by using statistical and proportional downscal...

projected global climate change may have a major influence on crop yield. the likely effects of climate change caused by increasing atmospheric carbon dioxide levels on rice yield in iran were evaluated using a mechanistic growth model for rice, gsac-rice, running under a climate change scenario predicted for a doubled-co2 (2xco2) atmosphere by the geophysical fluid dynamics laboratory (gfd...

A rigorous evaluation of future hydro-climatic changes is necessary for developing climate adaptation strategies a catchment. The integration projections from general circulation models (GCMs) in the simulations hydrologic model, such as Soil and Water Assessment Tool (SWAT), widely considered one most dependable approaches to assess impacts alteration on hydrology. main objective this study wa...

the discharge of total suspended sediments (tss) and dissolved nutrients from watersheds into receiving waters is a serious problem when natural vegetation is degraded by agriculture or overgrazing. this study was conducted in soolegan watershed to investigate land use change and overgrazing effects on phosphorus loss (dissolved & particulate), particle size associated loss of p and effect of t...

Short but extreme flooding events have been frequent and severe globally due to climate change urbanization in recent years. Similarly, researchers, scientists, water managers are suggesting the application of sustainable flood management strategies such as Low Impact Development (LID) mitigate impacts events. However, most these primarily evaluated using historical precipitation events, which ...

Conservation management practices – including agroforestry, cover cropping, no-till, reduced tillage, and residue return have been applied for decades to control surface runoff soil erosion, yet results not integrated evaluated across cropping systems. In this study we collected data comparing agricultural production with without conservation strategies. We used a bootstrap resampling analysis ...

Continuing global warming will have a strong impact on the Greenland ice sheet in the coming centuries. During the last decade (2000–2010), both increased melt-water runoff and enhanced ice discharge from calving glaciers have contributed 0.6±0.1 mm yr to global sea-level rise, with a relative contribution of 60 and 40 % respectively. Here we use a higher-order ice flow model, spun up to presen...
