Abstract The IPCC sixth assessment report forecasts sea level rise (SLR) of up to 2 m along coasts by 2100 relative 1995–2014 following business as usual (SSP585) scenarios. Geoengineering may reduce this threat. We use five Earth System Models simulations two different solar geoengineering methods (solar dimming and stratospheric sulfate aerosol injection), that offset radiative forcing differ...

[1] Historical observations indicate a shift toward shorter winters and increased average air temperatures in the midwestern United States. Furthermore, a rise in soil temperatures is likely to be enhanced under projections of increased air temperature; however, reduced snow cover during winter may lead to colder soil temperatures in the future. Cumulatively, these changes will affect cold seas...

under-five mortality rate is the probability per 1,000 that a newborn baby will die before reaching age five, if current age-specific mortality rates be continued. under-5 mortality, a millennium development goal indicator, is a leading indicator of child health and overall development. this indicator measures child survival. it also, reflects the social, economic and environmental conditions i...

gilan province is among the most important regions of iran for rice production. the general aim of this research is to determine the best variety of rice for planting, so that the minimum level for farmer's expected living gross margin can be provided. on the other hand, determining the best variety with regard to the risk in price is another aim of this research. to this end two risk models ba...

This study analyzed climate change scenarios and their potential impact on water availability for the South-Southeast region (SSR) of Mexico. Precipitation patterns were examined using Standardized Index three emissions scenarios, Representative Concentration Pathway (RCP) 4.5, RCP 6.0, 8.5, during periods 1960-2016, 2015-2039 (near future), 2075-2099 (far future). Historical changes in precipi...

biosignature_movie_1.mpg (987 KB) An MPEG format movie showing the development of the MAB in Avida as described in Chapter 2. This movie shows the relative abundances of 28 Avida instructions in a single typical evolutionary run. This run was seeded with the standard progenitor (listed in Table 2.1) and run for 200,000 updates with copy mutation probability $\mu$=0.01 randomizing mutations per ...
