This report contains the results of bibliographic research and numerical simulations aimed to the individuation of a simple and rational procedure to investigate the effects of climate change on the behavior of slopes in unsaturated pyroclastic soils affected by flowslides. The analysis of a...

The role of short- and long-term climate predictions in determining the success of adaptation to climate change is investigated. A simple theoretical model that captures the relationship between adaptive performance, decision structure, and prediction accuracy at different temporal scales is...

This article proposes a way of introducing some organization and tractability in climate science, generating more widely credible evaluations of climate science, and imposing some discipline on the processing and interpretation of climate information. I propose a two-part policy instrument...
