Land surface temperature is a significant parameter for identifying micro-climatic changes and their spatial distributions relative to the urban environment. This paper e[...]

Climatic changes are altering Earth's hydrological cycle, resulting in altered precipitation amounts, increased interannual variability of precipitation, and more frequen[...]

Climate change is already having an impact on global public health, human security (including food and water security), and migration flows (IPCC, 2014). Governments and [...]

As members of the global public become increasingly concerned about climate change, popular presses promote "scientific" narratives about the success or failure of past s[...]

Climate change is intensifying the hydrologic cycle and is expected to increase the frequency of extreme wet and dry years. Beyond precipitation amount, extreme wet and d[...]

The critical importance of water is undeniable. It is particularly vital in semitropical regions with noticeable wet and dry seasons, such as the southern Maya lowlands. [...]

The series of papers on climate change published in this issue are the result of the symposium "Environmental Change in Mesoamerica: Physical Forces and Cultural Paradigm[...]

While the global climate crisis impacts all of us, those who are marginalized or oppressed experience it to an even greater extent. Much of the burden of unsustainable co[...]

Analysis of modern climatic data suggests a pattern of response to global cooling for precipitation in Mesoamerica and North America. Also research in palaeoclimatology h[...]

We review impacts of climate change, energy scarcity, and economic frameworks on sustainabilityof natural and human systems in coastal zones, areas of high biodiversity, [...]

The biological responses to precipitation within the terrestrial components of Earth system models, or land surface models (LSMs), are mechanistically simple and poorly c[...]

This article is a review of the book "Ecology and Socialism: Solutions to Capitalist Ecological Crisis" by Chris Williams.

North Carolina’s experiences over the last twenty years epitomize ongoing ambivalence over clean energy policy in Southeastern states. In 2007, under an era of one-party [...]

Accelerated warming in the Arctic contributes to the formation of landscape features known as thermokarsts, or ground surface depressions created by the thermal degradati[...]

The Middle-Late Holocene transition around 2,500 B.C. is one of the defining episodes of regional landscape changes in the Southeastern United States area and throughout [...]

1.Precipitation is a primary determinant of plant community structure in drylands. However, the empirical evidence and predictions are lacking for how plant functional di[...]

The Arctic region of Alaska is experiencing severe impacts of climate change. The Arctic lakes ecosystems are bound to undergo alterations in its trophic structure and ot[...]

Rules incorporating influences on global temperature, an estimate of radiation balance, were induced from astronomical, geophysical, and anthropogenic variables. During p[...]

The current research and literature strongly affirm that the planet and humans in turn, are severely impacted by global warming and climate change. There is a widespread [...]

How should environmental policy respond to economic fluctuations caused by persistent productivity shocks? This paper answers that question using a dynamic stochastic gen[...]

The pages of this report contain an assortment of materials which reflect the status of climatic change studies at The University of Texas at San Antonio. The effort is i[...]

In the third millennium B.C., the Indus Civilization flourished in northwest India and Pakistan. The late mature phase (2200-1900 B.C.) was characterized by long-distance[...]

Consistent, accurate, and numerous measures of global scale atmospheric variables have been collected since about 1958. A time series of 30 years duration was assembled t[...]

The articles in this special issue range across such influences on climate as solar emissions, orbital precession, atmosphere, oceans, and precipitation, and generally ap[...]

1.Random species loss has been shown experimentally to reduce ecosystem function, sometimes more than other anthropogenic environmental changes. Yet, controversy surround[...]
