Historical and event-based bioclimatic suitability predicts regional forest vulnerability to compound effects of severe drought and bark beetle infestation
(Wiley Blackwell Publishing, Inc, 2018-05)
Vulnerability to climate change, and particularly to climate extreme events, is expected to vary across species ranges. Thus, we need tools to standardize the variability in regional climatic legacy and extreme climate ...
Compound temperature and precipitation extreme events in southern South America: Associated atmospheric circulation, and simulations by a multi-RCM ensemble
(Inter-Research, 2016-05)
In this paper we analyse the joint distribution of extreme temperature and heavy precipitation events in southern South America during 1961-2000, and the predominant atmospheric circulation associated with the occurrence ...
Flash flood impacts of Hurricane Otto and hydrometeorological risk mapping in Costa Rica
(2020-09-17)
Flash floods are one of the most damaging natural hazards in tropics. Seasonal and extraordinary
rainfall recurrently trigger flash floods in Costa Rica. Hurricane Otto was the first reported hurricane
to have ever passed ...
Building a climate resilient power sector in the context of the Caribbean small island developing States’ energy transition. Policy Brief
(ECLAC, Subregional Headquarters for the Caribbean, 2022-12-15)
In Caribbean small island developing States (SIDS), electrical power outages are frequent in the aftermath of major weather events. While local service disruptions often last a few days after these events, nationwide power ...
An assessment of the economic impact of climate change on the Agriculture, Health and Tourism sectors in Jamaica
(ECLAC, Subregional Headquarters for the Caribbean, 2011-10-04)
This report analyses the agriculture, health and tourism sectors in Jamaica to assess the potential economic impacts of climate change on the sectors. The fundamental aim of this report is to assist with the development ...
Atmospheric circulation influence on temperature and precipitation individual and compound daily extreme events: Spatial variability and trends over southern South America
(Elsevier, 2020-09)
Southern South America (SSA) is an extended region where temperature and precipitation daily extreme events have several impacts on the different socio-economic activities. In this work, their individual and compound ...
Proposal on debt for climate adaptation swaps: a strategy for growth and economic transformation of Caribbean economies
(ECLAC, Subregional Headquarters for the Caribbean, 2016-04-12)
ECLAC advocates that the Caribbean’s high debt dilemma was not principally driven by policy missteps, or the international financial crisis. Rather, it finds its roots in external shocks, compounded by the inherent structural ...
Change in El Niño flavours over 1958-2008: Implications for the long-term trend of the upwelling off Peru
(Elsevier, 2012)
The tropical Pacific variability has experienced changes in its characteristics over the last decades. In particular, there is some evidence of an increased occurrence of El Niño events in the central Pacific (a.k.a. ...
Statistical downscaling of daily precipitation and temperatures in southern La Plata Basin
(John Wiley & Sons Ltd, 2018-04)
La Plata Basin has a considerable socio-economic value, being one of the most important agricultural and hydropower-producing regions in the world. In this region, there is increasing evidence of a changing climate with ...
Climate-driven terrestrial inputs in ultraoligotrophic mountain streams of Andean Patagonia revealed through chromophoric and fluorescent dissolved organic matter
(Elsevier Science, 2015-07-15)
Fluvial networks transport a substantial fraction of the terrestrial production, contributing to the global carbon cycle and being shaped by hydrologic, natural and anthropogenic factors. In this investigation, four Andean ...
