Climate change generally requires species to migrate northward or to higher elevation to maintain constant climate conditions, but migration requirement and migration capacity of individual species can vary greatly. Individual populations of species occupy different positions in the landscape that determine their required range shift to maintain similar climate, and likewise the migration capac...

The Mediterranean Basin is a climate and biodiversity hot spot, and climate change threatens agro-ecosystems such as olive, an ancient drought-tolerant crop of considerable ecological and socioeconomic importance. Climate change will impact the interactions of olive and the obligate olive fruit fly (Bactrocera oleae), and alter the economics of olive culture across the Basin. We estimate the ef...

In this paper, we introduce a novel graph-based method to classify the regions with similar climate in local area. We refer our proposed as graph partition based (GPBM). Our attempts overcome shortcomings of current state-of-the-art methods literature. It has no limit on number variables that can be used and also preserves nature data. To illustrate capability algorithm, benchmark its performan...

Ice bodies in the semi-arid mountainous regions of Chile are of vital importance for the local population. As variations of their extent are often associated with climate change, this study focuses on the glaciers and glacierets situated in the Commune Alto del Car‐ men and local and regional climate. We combine statistically Landsat satellite imagery, historical and ongoing weather data. The p...

A necessary condition for a good probabilistic forecast is that the forecast system is shown to be reliable: forecast probabilities should equal observed probabilities verified over a large number of cases. As climate change trends are now emerging from the natural variability, we can apply this concept to climate predictions and compute the reliability of simulated local and regional temperatu...

a r t i c l e i n f o a b s t r a c t Rock alteration and rind formation in analog environments like Antarctica may provide clues to rock alteration and therefore paleoclimates on Mars. Clastic sedimentary rocks derived from basaltic sources have been studied in situ by martian rovers and are likely abundant on the surface of Mars. However, how such rock types undergo alteration when exposed to...

Abstract In recent years, many local authorities in the UK have run climate assemblies (LCAs) such as citizens’ or juries, with goal of developing citizen-led solutions to crisis. this essay, we argue that a ‘convenient fiction’ often underpins way authority actors explain rationale for running LCAs. This convenient fiction runs follows: LCAs are commissioned response threat, and decision-maker...

T he determinants of health and well-being include a wide range of environmental and social factors. Increasingly recognized drivers of injuries and illhealth are the consequences of changing weather patterns, climate extremes, and climate change. The evidence of such effects is, however, under-researched in lowand middle-income countries. For the majority of studies, originating from high-inco...
