Spatiotemporal Dynamics of Meteorological and Agricultural Drought in China
This book explores spatiotemporal analysis and impact assessment of agricultural drought in China and investigates the correlation coefficient between meteorological drought and agricultural drought. It then conducts multivariate frequency analysis of drought events using drought indices and copula functions. It aims to reveal spatiotemporal characteristics and impacts of agricultural drought in China both on vegetation phenology and productivity. The book assesses the performances of drought indices for better predicting multi-year droughts and return periods and drought risk assessment.
Impact of Climate Change on the Human Living Environment
Climate change has been attracting extensive attention worldwide due to its significant and irreversible impacts on the human living environments including hydrometeorological disasters, freshwater availability, land use and land change, urbanization, food production, disease outbreaks, and many other aspects. It has caused huge socio-economic losses, and is the utmost obstacle to the sustainable development of human society. Therefore, addressing the above problems is an urgent and necessary issue to explore the impacts of climate change on different aspects of the human living environment, as an important basis to adopt effective adaptive measures and actions for mitigation of climate change impacts.
Modeling and Mitigation Measures for Managing Extreme Hydrometeorological Events Under a Warming Climate
Modeling and Mitigation Measures for Managing Extreme Hydrometeorological Events Under a Warming Climate explores the most recent computational tools, modeling frameworks, and critical data analysis measures for managing extreme climate events. Extreme climate events—primarily floods and droughts—have had major consequences in terms of loss of life and property around the world. Managing extreme occurrences, reducing their effects, and establishing adaptation strategies requires significant policy and planning improvements. This practical guide explores the latest research literature, recent advanced modeling approaches, and fundamental ideas and concepts to provide a variety of solutions for managing extreme events. - Discusses the impacts of climate change on the management of water resources - Provides flood and drought adaptation measures and strategies - Covers the latest research carried out in the modeling of extreme hydrometeorological variables
