Townsend, Danneille A. (author), Sušnik, Janez (author), van der Zaag, P. (author)Globally, freshwater resources are threatened, resulting in challenges for urban water supply and management. Climate change, population growth, and urbanization have only exacerbated this crisis. For the Caribbean, climate change through the impact of increasing temperatures and rainfall variability has resulted in more frequent and intense...journal article 2020

Mészáros, L. (author), van der Meulen, F.H. (author), Jongbloed, G. (author), El Serafy, G.Y.H. (author)Available climate change projections, which can be used for quantifying future changes in marine and coastal ecosystems, usually consist of a few scenarios. Studies addressing ecological impacts of climate change often make use of a low- (RCP2.6), moderate- (RCP4.5) or high climate scenario (RCP8.5), without taking into account further...journal article 2020

Guzman, Paloma (author), Fatorić, Sandra (author), Ishizawa, Maya (author)Climate change is increasingly being recognized as a threat to natural and cultural World Heritage (WH) sites worldwide. Through its interaction with other stressors, climate change accelerates existing risks while also creating new obstacles. A more considerable focus is needed in both research and practice to explore proactive measures for...journal article 2020

(author)Flood risk is expected to increase in coastal cities, particularly in Asian megacities such as Shanghai. This paper presents an integrated modeling framework to simulate changes in the flood risk in Shanghai and provide a cost-benefit analysis of multiple adaptation strategies used to reduce risk. The results show that the potential flood...journal article 2020

Zekollari, H. (author), Huss, Matthias (author), Farinotti, Daniel (author)Glaciers in the European Alps rapidly lose mass to adapt to changes in climate conditions. Here, we investigate the relationship and lag between climate forcing and geometric glacier response with a regional glacier evolution model accounting for ice dynamics. The volume loss occurring as a result of the glacier-climate imbalance increased...journal article 2020

Seekamp, Erin (author), Fatorić, Sandra (author), McCreary, Allie (author)Cultural heritage-specific research is scarce within the climate change literature and climate change policy documents, challenging climate adaptation efforts to minimize adverse impacts on cultural heritage. Engaging and assessing diverse stakeholders' values and integrating those with evidence-based knowledge is critical for timely,...journal article 2020

Contreras, Diana (author), Voets, Alex (author), Junghardt, Jana (author), Bhamidipati, S.K. (author), Contreras, Sandra (author)During the 2012–2016 drought in La Guajira, Colombia, child mortality rates rose to 23.4 out of 1000. Most of these children belonged to the Wayuu indigenous community, the largest and one of the most vulnerable in Colombia. At the municipal level, this study found a significant positive correlation between the average child mortality rate...journal article 2020

Ghahramani, Ladan (author), McArdle, Katelin (author), Fatorić, Sandra (author)The Gullah Geechee community of the south-eastern United States endures today as a minority group with a significant cultural heritage. However, little research has been conducted to explore this community’s resilience in the face of climate change and other environmental impacts. The database Web of Science was searched and 109 publications on...journal article 2020

(author), Blokker, E.J.M. (author)Water temperature is often monitored at water sources and treatment works; however, there is limited monitoring of the water temperature in the drinking water distribution system (DWDS), despite a known impact on physical, chemical and microbial reactions which impact water quality. A key parameter influencing drinking water temperature is...review 2020

Mianabadi, Ameneh (author), Derakhshan, Hashem (author), Davary, Kamran (author), Hasheminia, Seyed Majid (author), Hrachowitz, M. (author)Due to the effects of global climate change on duration, frequency and number of drought events, the occurrence of prolonged droughts, referred to as “megadroughts” (lasting for two decades or longer) will become more probable in the future. Thus, it is crucial for countries especially in arid and semi-arid regions of the world to develop...journal article 2020

Benedict, Imme (author), Van Heerwaarden, Chiel C. (author), van der Ent, R.J. (author), Weerts, Albrecht H. (author), Hazeleger, Wilco (author)Assessment of the impact of climate change on water resources over land requires knowledge on the origin of the precipitation and changes therein toward the future. We determine the origin of precipitation over the Mississippi River basin (MRB) using high-resolution (~25 km) climate model simulations for present and future climate (RCP4.5)....journal article 2020

(author)Aggradation and fluvial incision controlled by downstream base-level changes at timescales of 10 to 500 kyr is incorporated in classic sequence stratigraphic models. However, upstream climate control on sediment supply and discharge variability causes fluvial incision and aggradation as well. Orbital forcing often regulates climate change at...journal article 2020

Schröder, E. (author), Storm, S.T.H. (author)De-carbonization to restrict future global warming to 1.5 °C is technically feasible but may impose a “limit” or “planetary boundary” to economic growth, depending on whether or not human society can decouple growth from emissions. In this paper, we assess the viability of decoupling. First, we develop a prognosis of climate-constrained...journal article 2020
