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), Krijgsman, Wout (author), Abels, H.A. (author), Hilgen, Frederik J. (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

Toimil, Alexandra (author), Losada, Iñigo J. (author), Nicholls, Robert J. (author), Dalrymple, Robert A. (author), Stive, M.J.F. (author)Climate change is and will continue altering the world's coasts, which are the most densely populated and economically active areas on earth and home for highly valuable ecosystems. While there is considerable relevant research, in the authors' experience this problem remains challenging for coastal engineering. This paper reviews important...review 2020

(author)The world’s coastal areas are increasingly at risk of coastal flooding due to sea-level rise (SLR). We present a novel global dataset of extreme sea levels, the Coastal Dataset for the Evaluation of Climate Impact (CoDEC), which can be used to accurately map the impact of climate change on coastal regions around the world.

Fatorić, Sandra (author), Egberts, Linde (author)Climate change impacts on diverse cultural heritage is gaining scholarly and policy attention, yet little research has been conducted on how can diverse cultural heritage inform decisionmakers and policymakers in achieving climate change actions (i.e., climate change adaptation and mitigation). For this study, we conducted semi-structured...journal article 2020

Zou, Tao (author), Kaminski, M.L. (author)Fatigue damage of offshore floating structures is a long-term cumulative process, which is mainly attributed to ocean waves. The natural variability and human-induced climate change may affect the wave climate and consequently result in the change of fatigue damage. This paper aims to investigate the effect of climate change on the fatigue...journal article 2020

Hiemstra, K.S. (author), van Vuren, S. (author), Vinke, Frederik R.S. (author), Jorissen, Richard E. (author), Kok, M. (author)Worldwide, rivers provide important socio-economic and environmental functions and are essential to human well-being. The growing demand of user-functions and the change in river conditions due to large-scale morphology and climate change, increase the pressure on lowland river systems (e.g. Rhine, Meuse, Danube and Mississippi). To ensure a...journal article 2020

Fatorić, Sandra (author), Biesbroek, Robbert (author)Climate change is currently impacting cultural heritage globally. Despite advances in the understanding of the relationship between climate change impacts and cultural heritage, there are significant barriers that hamper adaptation of cultural heritage to current and projected climate risks.

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

Guo, Yuxue (author), Fang, Guohua (author), Xu, Yue Ping (author), Tian, X. (author), Xie, Jingkai (author)Climate and land use/cover changes are the main factors altering hydrological regimes. To understand the impacts of climate and land use/cover changes on streamflow within a specific catchment, it is essential to accurately quantify their changes given many possibilities. We propose an integrated framework to assess how individual and...journal article 2020
