4D quantification of alpine permafrost degradation in steep rock walls using a laboratory‐calibrated electrical resistivity tomography approach
Scandroglio, Riccardo;
; Offer, Maike; (Near Surface Geophysics, 2021-03-09)
The warming of rock permafrost affects mechanical stability and hydro‐cryostatic pressures in rock walls. The coincident decrease in slope stability frequently affects infrastructure by creep and subsidence and promotes ... -
Air quality co-benefits of ratcheting up the NDCs
(Climatic Change, 2020-04-18)The current nationally determined contributions, pledged by the countries under the Paris Agreement, are far from limiting climate change to below 2 ∘C temperature increase by the end of the century. The necessary ratcheting ... -
Are we expecting too much from the private sector in flood adaptation? Scenario-based field experiments with small- and medium-sized firms in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam
; ; (Climatic Change, 2020-10-23)
Adaptive governance approaches emphasize the crucial role of the private sector in enabling climate change adaptation. Yet, the participation of local firms is still lacking, and little is known about the conditions ... -
Assessment of crop risk due to climate change in Sao Tome and Principe
; ; ; ; ; ; (Regional Environmental Change, 2021-02-11)
Sao Tome and Principe is a small insular country in the west coast of Central Africa. The small dimensions of the islands and the limited natural resources put these islands under highly vulnerable to climate change. To ... -
Attitudes towards climate change migrants
(Climatic Change, 2020-03-18)
While climate change has become a salient political and social issue in Western societies, we know relatively little about how these societies will react to one of the potentially important consequences of climate change: ... -
Auswirkungen des Klimawandels auf das Grundwasser und die Wasserversorgung in Süddeutschland
; ; ; ; ; ; (Grundwasser, 2021-02-22)
Für die öffentliche Trinkwasserversorgung in Süddeutschland wird größtenteils Grund- und Quellwasser genutzt. Der Kenntnis über die Entwicklung des Bodenwasserhaushalts und insbesondere der Grundwasserneubildung kommt somit ... -
Auswirkungen des Klimawandels auf die zukünftige Grundwassernutzung – Betroffenheiten, Handlungsbedarfe und Lösungsansätze
(Grundwasser, 2020-12-21)Die Ergebnisse regionaler Klimaprojektionen für Deutschland weisen auf eine Zunahme der mittleren Lufttemperatur und eine innerjährliche Verschiebung der Niederschläge – mit feuchteren Wintern und trockeneren Sommern – ... -
Can Tanzania’s adaptation measures prevent future maize yield decline? A simulation study from Singida region
; ; ; (Regional Environmental Change, 2021-09-27)
Cereal crop production in sub-Saharan Africa has not achieved the much-needed increase in yields to foster economic development and food security. Maize yields in the region’s semi-arid agroecosystems are constrained by ... -
Climate change adaptation strategies, productivity and sustainable food security in southern Mali
;; (Climatic Change, 2020-03-19)
Many people in African countries derive their livelihoods from agriculture. Therefore, unfavourable environmental and climatic conditions render them more vulnerable to increasing food insecurity and poverty rates. However, ... -
Climate change impacts on potential maize yields in Gambella Region, Ethiopia
; ; (Regional Environmental Change, 2021-05-25)
Changing climate conditions are supposed to have particularly strong impacts on agricultural production in the tropics with strong implications on food security. Ethiopia’s economy is profoundly dominated by agriculture, ... -
Climate change literacy and migration potential: micro-level evidence from Africa
; ; ; ; (Climatic Change, 2021-11-06)
While a growing literature studies the effects of climate change on international migration, still only relatively little is known about the individual mechanisms linking migration decisions to climate change. We argue ... -
Climate change vulnerability, water resources and social implications in North Africa
(Regional Environmental Change, 2020-06-30)North Africa is considered a climate change hot spot. Existing studies either focus on the physical aspects of climate change or discuss the social ones. The present article aims to address this divide by assessing and ... -
Climate change, ecosystem services and migration in the Marshall Islands: are they related?
; ; ; ; (Climatic Change, 2020-04-10)
As one of the lowest-lying island nation states in the world, the Republic of the Marshall Islands is vulnerable to sea level rise, flooding and the associated impacts on soil and water salinity. Persistent drought is ... -
Climate humanitarian visa: international migration opportunities as post-disaster humanitarian intervention
(Climatic Change, 2020-03-25)
With global action being outpaced by climate change impacts, communities in climate-vulnerable countries are at increased risk of incurring climate-induced losses and damages. In the last few years, disasters from extreme ... -
Crop diversity effects on temporal agricultural production stability across European regions
; ; ; ; (Regional Environmental Change, 2021-10-05)
Stabilizing agricultural production is fundamental to food security. At the national level, increasing the effective diversity of cultivated crops has been found to increase temporal production stability, i.e., the ... -
Current and future state of groundwater salinization of the northern Elbe-Weser region
; ; ; ; (Grundwasser, 2021-11-11)
Salinization of the upper aquifer of the northern Elbe-Weser region almost extends to the surface. Chloride content exceeds 250 mg/l and the groundwater is therefore, according to the German Drinking Water Ordinance, not ... -
Depth-distribution of lake benthic diatom assemblages in relation to light availability and substrate: implications for paleolimnological studies
; ; ; (Journal of Paleolimnology, 2020-06-25)
We analyzed the depth distributions of benthic diatoms in two adjacent, but hydrologically distinct subalpine lakes (Lakes Soiernseen, S-Germany). Lake Unterer Soiernsee is affected by marked water-level fluctuations and ... -
Effects of model calibration on hydrological and water resources management simulations under climate change in a semi-arid watershed
; ; ; ; (Climatic Change, 2020-11-18)
Semi-arid regions are known for erratic precipitation patterns with significant effects on the hydrological cycle and water resources availability. High temporal and spatial variation in precipitation causes large variability ... -
Elastic deformation plays a non-negligible role in Greenland’s outlet glacier flow
; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; (Communications Earth & Environment, 2021-11-09)
Future projections of global mean sea level change are uncertain, partly because of our limited understanding of the dynamics of Greenland’s outlet glaciers. Here we study Nioghalvfjerdsbræ, an outlet glacier of the Northeast ... -
Environmental matching reveals non-uniform range-shift patterns in benthic marine Crustacea
; ; ; (Climatic Change, 2021-10-30)
Empirical and theoretical studies suggest that marine species respond to ocean warming by shifting ranges poleward and/or into deeper depths. However, future distributional patterns of deep-sea organisms, which comprise ...
