Climate in the Monte Desert: Past trends, present conditions, and future projections
(Academic Press Ltd - Elsevier Science Ltd, 2009-02)
This paper documents the main features of climate and climate variability across the Monte Desert for the Last Glacial Maximum, the Glacial-Interglacial transition, and the Holocene on the basis of proxy records and for ...
Early warning systems: The "last mile" of adaptation
(American Geophysical Union, 2012-09)
Recent scientific assessment studies of climate change impacts, including those from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, provide evidence of the negative effects of climate variability and change on natural and ...
A critical analysis of national plans for climate adaptation for health in South America
(Elsevier, 2023)
Climate adaptation measures are critical for protecting human health. National Adaptation Plans (NAPs), Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs), and National Communications (NCs) play a crucial role in helping countries ...
Analysis of the spatial distribution of scientific publications regarding vector-borne diseases related to climate variability in South America
(Elsevier, 2018-08)
Most vector-borne diseases exhibit a distinct seasonal pattern, which clearly suggests that they are weather sensitive. Rainfall, temperature, and other climate variables affect in many ways both the vectors and the pathogens ...
Trends in reference evapotranspiration and associated climate variables over the last 30 years (1984–2014) in the Pampa region of Argentina
(Springer Wien, 2019-05)
Agricultural production is sensitive to weather and thus directly affected by climate change. In Argentina, the geographic region known as the “Pampa” is at the heart of agricultural production. In this context, the objective ...
Multiple non-climatic drivers of food insecurity reinforce climate change maladaptation trajectories among Peruvian Indigenous Shawi in the Amazon
(Public Library of Science, 2018)
Background: Climate change is affecting food systems globally, with implications for food security, nutrition, and the health of human populations. There are limited data characterizing the current and future consequences ...
Trends in reference evapotranspiration and associated climate variables over the last 30 years (1984–2014) in the Pampa region of Argentina
(2018-07-21)
Agricultural production is sensitive to weather and thus directly affected by climate change. In Argentina, the geographic region known as the “Pampa” is at the heart of agricultural production. In this context, the objective ...
Future hydroclimatological changes in South America based on an ensemble of regional climate models
(Springer, 2019-01)
Changes between two time slices (1961–1990 and 2071–2100) in hydroclimatological conditions for South America have been examined using an ensemble of regional climate models. Annual mean precipitation (P), evapotranspiration ...
Climate anomalies and epidemics in South America at the end of the Colonial Period
(Springer, 2013-06)
Climate is one of the most of influential natural factors on society and economy. One of the consequences of climate anomalies is the emergence of diseases and epidemics, especially in agrarian societies. The current concern ...
Vulnerability to the health effects of climate variability in rural southwestern Uganda
(Springer, 2015)
Vulnerability to the health impacts of climate change will be shaped by the existing burden of ill- health and is expected to be highest in poor and socio-economically marginalized populations. Sub-Saharan Africa, in ...
