Changes in Koppen–Trewartha climate classification over South America from RegCM4 projections
(2017-11-01)
The Koppen–Trewartha (K–T) classification is used to investigate the biomes change in the future climate over South America (SA). For the middle (2035–2060) and end (2075–2100) of the 21st century mean ensemble of Regional ...
Guiding the nations through fair low-carbon economy cycles: A climate justice index proposal
(2021-06-01)
Since the climate change context is increasingly the focus of decision-makers, indices capable of helping them in the transition to a low-carbon economy are considered necessary. Therefore, the objective of this work is ...
A climate change vulnerability index and case study in a Brazilian Coastal City
(2016-08-18)
Coastal areas are highly susceptible to the effects of climate change, particularly to sea-level rise and extreme rainfall events, resulting in increased social and environmental vulnerabilities. In this context, the need ...

(2019-11-11)
Purpose: The purpose of this paper is to address the perceptions of managers in large companies located in Brazil regarding the long-term and short-term benefits of adopting strategic actions to mitigate and adapt to climate ...
Climate Variability and Change in South America: ENSO, Decadal Variability and Climate Change in South America: Trends, Teleconnections, and Potential Impacts; Guayaquil, Ecuador, 12-14 October 2010
(Wiley, 2010-12)
El Niño and the Southern Oscillation (ENSO) have profound effects on South American climate. Warm ENSO events (El Niños) and cold ENSO events (La Niñas), which occur on year-to-year time scales, are associated with droughts, ...

Correlated Morphological and Genetic Patterns in Embothrium coccineum (Proteaceae) Across Climate and Geography: Can Embothrium Survive Patagonian Climate Change?
(Csiro Publishing, 2013-12)
Adaptive radiation and reproductive isolation can determine the biogeographic structure of any species. We examine patterns of biotic variation in Embothrium coccineum, a Proteaceae tree that spans 20º of latitude and is ...
Means and extremes: building variability into community-level climate change experiments
(Wiley, 2013-02)
Experimental studies assessing climatic effects on ecological communities have typically applied static warming treatments. Although these studies have been informative, they have usually failed to incorporate either ...
Climate change is real and we need to urgently reduce the emission of greenhouse gases
(Blockdale, 2013-02)
I n the past climate change was due to natural causes; for the first time after the Industrial Revolution and most significantly from the beginning of the last century, human activities are also modifying the global climate, ...
