Abstract We identify major knowledge gaps in the primary impacts of extreme weather and climate change across UK’s food system, its functioning their interactions to provide information support adaptation resilience planning. Future shocks stresses due changes extremes will have significant on UK system. Key remain our understanding non-cereal crops, livestock fisheries production, chain beyond...

Weather conditions are paramount in shaping birds' migratory routes, promoting the evolution of behavioural plasticity and allowing for adaptive decisions on when to depart or stop during migration. Here, we describe and analyze the influence of weather conditions in shaping the sea-crossing stage of the pre-breeding journey made by a long-distance migratory bird, the Eleonora's falcon (Falco e...

Adverse weather delays forty-five percent of construction projects worldwide, costing project owners and contractors billions dollars in additional expenses lost revenue each year. Additionally, changes climate are expected to increase the frequency intensity conditions that cause these delays. Researchers have investigated effect on several aspects construction. Still, no previous study compre...

Change point detection makes predictions in data whose structure changes over time and belongs to a class of methods called time series methods. Machine learning is the design of algorithms whose performance improves with data. Techniques from statistics, such as change point detection, have received increased interest in recent years in machine learning. Many problems have change point structu...

Climate change in the western United States has increased the frequency of extreme fire weather events and is projected to increase the area burned by wildfire in the coming decades. This changing fire regime, coupled with increased high-severity fire risk from a legacy of fire exclusion, could destabilize forest carbon (C), decrease net ecosystem exchange (NEE), and consequently reduce the abi...

weather circulation patterns play a main role in the occurrence of environmental phenomena especially in middle latitude. occurrence of dry and wet spells is in relation to synoptical system repetitions and types of weather. in this research first by using of standard precipitation index (spi), extensive droughts in the province were identified. then by using principal component analysis (pca) ...

Individuals who identify changes in their local climate are also more likely to report that they have personally experienced global climate change. One way that people may come to recognize that their local climate is changing is through information provided by local TV weather forecasters. Using random digit dialing, 2,000 adult local TV news viewers in Virginia were surveyed to determine whet...
