- Modelling China's potential maize production at regional scale under climate change. Wei Xiong; Matthews, Robin; Holman, Ian; Lin, Erda; Yinglong Xu // Climatic Change;Dec2007, Vol. 85 Issue 3/4, p433
With the continuing warming due to greenhouse gases concentration, it is important to examine the potential impacts on regional crop production spatially and temporally. We assessed China's potential maize production at 50�50 km grid scale under climate change scenarios using modelling...
- A view of dangerous climate change. Davidson, Steve // Ecos;Apr/May2006, Issue 130, p28
The article provides information on the potential impact and dangers of climate change to global warming. It has been argued by the climate scientists that climate change will be intensified by positive feedback mechanisms that cause the warming to move faster. According to the Director of the...
- Basic Compensation for Victims of Climate Change. Farber, Daniel // Environmental Law Reporter: News & Analysis;Aug2008, Vol. 38 Issue 8, p10521
Prof. Daniel Farber argues that compensation for harm caused by climate change is a moral imperative, and he surveys various mechanisms that have been used in other circumstances to compensate large numbers of victims for environmental and other harms. In response, Professor Feinberg cautions...

Hayhoe, Katharine; Wake, Cameron P.; Huntington, Thomas G.; Luo, Lifeng; Schwartz, Mark D.; Sheffield, Justin; Wood, Eric; Anderson, Bruce; Bradbury, James; DeGaetano, Art; Troy, Tara J.; Wolfe, David // Climate Dynamics;Apr2007, Vol. 28 Issue 4, p381
To assess the influence of global climate change at the regional scale, we examine past and future changes in key climate, hydrological, and biophysical indicators across the US Northeast (NE). We first consider the extent to which simulations of twentieth century climate from nine...
- Simulating future Caspian sea level changes using regional climate model outputs. Elguindi, N.; Giorgi, F. // Climate Dynamics;Apr2007, Vol. 28 Issue 4, p365
We report on simulations of present-day climate (1961�1990) and future climate conditions (2071�2100, Special Report on Emissions Scenario A2) over the Caspian sea basin with a regional climate model (RCM) nested in time-slice general circulation model (GCM) simulations. We also calculate...

We analyze ensembles (four realizations) of historical and future climate transient experiments carried out with the coupled atmosphere-ocean general circulation model (AOGCM) of the Hadley Centre for Climate Prediction and Research, version HADCM2, with four scenarios of greenhouse gas (GHG)...
- Uncertainties in modelling future hydrological change over West Africa. d�Orgeval, T.; Polcher, J.; Li, L. // Climate Dynamics;Jan2006, Vol. 26 Issue 1, p93
The aim of this paper is to evaluate current knowledge and uncertainties associated with the impact of increasing greenhouse gas and aerosol concentrations on the West African monsoon. For this purpose, coupled and time-slice simulations are used. A global measure of the monsoon changes is...

The role of meteorology, hydrology and atmospheric deposition on the temporal pattern of SO4 and NO3 concentrations was investigated for three streams draining alpine catchments in Northern Italy. The study sites lie on a gradient of atmospheric fluxes of SO4 and NO3 (from about 50 to 80 meqm-2...
