Climate change-based modeling of potential land use arrangements for coffee (coffea arabica) and forest in Costa Rica
(2017-12)
Besides the need to reduce its own emissions, the challenge of the agricultural sector worldwide is also to adapt to a
changing and more variable climate. Coffee is an important crop in Costa Rica based on cultivated area ...
Regional modeling of climate change impacts on smallholder agriculture and ecosystems in Central America
(2016)
Climate change will have serious repercussions for agriculture, ecosystems, and farmer livelihoods in Central America. Smallholder farmers are particularly vulnerable due to their reliance on agriculture and ecosystem ...
Detection and Attribution of Streamflow Timing Changes to Climate Change in the Western United States
(2009-07)
This article applies formal detection and attribution techniques to investigate the nature of observed shifts in the timing of streamflow in the western United States. Previous studies have shown that the snow hydrology ...
Human-Induced Changes in the Hydrology of the Western United States
(2008-02-22)
Observations have shown that the hydrological cycle of the western United States changed significantly over the last half of the 20th century. We present a regional, multivariable climate change detection and attribution ...
Detection and Attribution of Temperature Changes in the Mountainous Western United States
(2008-04-22)
Large changes in the hydrology of the western United States have been observed since the mid-twentieth century. These include a reduction in the amount of precipitation arriving as snow, a decline in snowpack at low and ...
Understanding uncertainties in future Colorado River streamflow
(Bulletin of the American Meterorological Society 95(1): 58-81, 2014-01)
The Colorado River is the primary water source for more than 30 million people in the United States and Mexico. Recent studies that project streamflow changes in the Colorado River all project annual declines, but the ...
Métodos dinámicos y estadísticos de reducción de escala: Aplicaciones al clima, variabilidad climática y cambio climático. Trabajo in extenso.
(Revista REVIBEC, 2009)
Actualmente, las salidas de algunos Modelos Atmosféricos de Circulación General Acoplados tienen buena habilidad para simular el comportamiento de variables (circulaciones) de gran escala o escala global, las cuales a su ...
Observed (1970–1999) climate variability in Central America using a high-resolution meteorological dataset with implication to climate change studies
(2016)
High spatial resolution of precipitation (P) and average air temperature (Tavg) datasets are ideal for determining the spatial patterns associated with large-scale atmospheric and oceanic indexes, and climate change and ...
Snakebites are associated with poverty, weather fluctuations, and El Niño
(2015-09-11)
Snakebites are environmental and occupational health hazards that mainly affect rural populations worldwide. The ectothermic nature of snakes raises the issue of how climate change’s impact on snake ecology could influence ...
Potential increase in floods in California’s Sierra Nevada under future climate projections
(2011-12)
California’s mountainous topography, exposure to occasional heavily moisture-laden
storm systems, and varied communities and infrastructures in low lying areas make it highly
vulnerable to floods. An important question ...
