This study examines the relative importance and severity of climate change in context multiple socio-economic stressors rural coastal fishing communities Ghana. Although poses significant threats to these communities, it is yet unclear where fits range that shape vulnerability such communities. Without an understanding how experienced by difficult appreciate what adaptation means them which opt...

A study of the frequency, intensity, and risk of extreme climatic events or natural hazards is important for assessing the impacts of climate change. Many models have been developed to assess the risk of multiple hazards, however, most of the existing approaches can only model the relative levels of risk. This paper reports the development of a method for the quantitative assessment of the risk...

Recent adverse weather events have questioned the stability of crop production systems. Here, we assessed vulnerability eleven major crops in France between 1959 and 2018 as a function climate, crafting novel hazard framework that combines exposure sensitivity to weather-related hazards. Exposure was defined frequency hazardous climate conditions. Sensitivity estimated by yield response single ...

SUDPLAN aims at a new and visionary capacity to link existing environmental simulation models, information and sensor infrastructures, SDI’s and climatic scenario databases, providing visualization of long term forecasts of environmental factors for urban subsystems such as building and architecture, traffic and transport, landscape planning and local water runoff. End-users shall be enabled to...

Spatially distributed modelling is an important instrument for studying the hydrological cycle, both concerning its present state as well as possible future changes in climate and land use. Results of such simulations are particularly relevant for the fields of water resources, natural hazards and hydropower. The semi-distributed hydrological modelling system PREVAH (PREecipitation-Runoff-EVApo...
