abstract development and evaluation of mitigation strategies are very crucial to manage climate change risk. research objectives of this study were (1) to quantify the response of maize grain yield to potential impacts of climate change and (2) to investigate the effectiveness of changing sowing date of maize as a mitigation option for khorasan province which is located in northeast of iran. tw...

This article describes a climate change and hydrological impact assessment for several basins in Georgia. First, a new statistical technique, Joint Variable Spatial Downscaling (JVSD), is developed to produce high resolution gridded hydrological datasets for the Southeast US from 13 different Global Circulation Models (GCMs). A lumped conceptual watershed model (Georgakakos et al., 2010) is the...

Rangelands are one of the most vulnerable parts concerning the climatechanges‟ impacts. These impacts are even stronger in the arid and semi-arid areas whererangeland ecosystems are in critical conditions. Therefore, it is crucial to figure out theactual dynamics of climate variations on the rangelands. The aim of this research was todetermine climate changes in Khabr rangeland, Kerman, Iran. S...

Understanding the variations of streamflow of rivers is an important prerequisite for designing hydraulic structures as well as managing surface water resources in basins. An overview of the impact of climate change on the streamflow in the Hablehroud River, the main river of a semi-arid basin in north-central Iran, is provided. Using the LARS-WG statistical downscaling model, the outputs of Ha...

. introduction global warming and its result, climate change is an important subject investigated especially in the recent decades by researchers throughout the world. in these studies, at first, climatic parameters changes are investigated. considering many uncertainties in the parameters estimation, it is better to choose a method in order to study and analyze the uncertainty band due to diff...

abstract the most important part of the design and operation of the supplier systems of agricultural water requirement is the estimating of plant water requirement. in this study by using the lars-wg5 model, downscaled the data of hadcm3 model according a1b, a2 and b1 scenarios that confirmed by ipcc, and was simulated monthly amounts of precipitation, minimum temperature, maximum temperature a...

[1] This study examines the effects of future anthropogenic emissions on climate, and the resulting feedback to natural emissions and air quality. Speciated sectorand region-specific 2030 emission factors were developed to produce gas and particle emission inventories that followed Special Report on Emission Scenarios (SRES) A1B and B1 emission trajectories. Current and future climate model sim...
