Huangpu River floodplain is historically vulnerable to flooding due to its location in the path of tropical cyclones, low elevation, relatively flat topography, rapid changes in sea level and fast rate of land subsidence due to urbanization. This paper presents a scenario-based study that...

A flood risk model was developed for the Czech Republic to calculate the probability of insured losses from flood events. The model was GIS based, making use of a 100 m horizontal resolution DTM and a network of the major rivers in the country. A review of historical flooding was undertaken to...

The climate changes going on for a long time now have ceased to be a scientific curiosity. They constitute the major environmental question which dominates our time and pose the major challenge to environmental organizations of control. Water is one of the most important raw materials in...

Putting a price on carbon - with taxes or developing carbon markets - is a widely used policy measure to achieve the target of net-zero emissions by 2050. This paper tackles the issue of producing point, direction-of-change, and density forecasts for the monthly real price of carbon within the...

Climate change has important implications for business and economic activity. Effective management of climate change impacts will depend on the availability of accurate and cost-effective forecasts. This paper uses univariate time series techniques to model the properties of a global mean...

The Brazilian semi arid is often represented as a dry-climate region with poor socioeconomic indicators. Moreover, this region is likely to suffer from the water shortage in the future as a result of climate changes that the world is facing. The reduction of water supplies has recently caused...

Because of the climate changes and the massive clearings, some of the most critical problems that Romania and especially the S-W part of Oltenia are confrunted with are: the desertification and the earth flows. The purpose of the shelter - belts in preventing the effects of the wind and in...

Climate change is one of the major challenges of our century - a complex area in which to improve our knowledge and understanding to take immediate measures to effectively address and correct, in terms of the challenges of climate change, respecting precautionary principle. (Romanian National...
