The socioeconomics of food crop production and climate change vulnerability: a global scale quantitative analysis of how grain crops are sensitive to drought

Many studies warn that climate change may undermine global food security. Much work on this topic focuses on modelling crop-weather interactions but these models do not generally account for the ways in which ...

Adapting to climate change: Public water supply in England and Wales

This paper describes an assessment of the ways in which water supply companies in England and Wales are adapting to climate change, evaluated in the context of a model of the adaptation process. The four compo...

Thresholds and Response to Climate Change Forcing: The Water Sector

This paper explores the nature of critical thresholds in the natural and managed water environment, and examines the effect of thresholds on the shape of system response to change. The hydrological system is c...

Relative impacts of human-induced climate change and natural climate variability

Assessments of the regional impacts of human-induced climate change on a wide range of social and environmental systems are fundamental for determining the appropriate policy responses to climate change^1,2,3. Yet...

Climate Change and Water Resources in Britain

This paper explores the potential implications of climate change for the use and management of water resources in Britain. It is based on a review of simulations of changes in river flows, groundwater recharge...

Climate Change and Hydrological Disasters

Many regard climate change as a disaster-in-waiting, a view reinforced by society’s evident dependence on systems to protect itself against the vagaries of weather (Ausubel, 1991), and in some instances to exp...

River Runoff Data for the Validation of Climate Simulation Models

Climate model validation involves the comparison of model simulations with observed data. River runoff is a major part of the water balance, and represents one of the most important diagnostic variables of a c...

Scenarios for Hydrological Climate Change Impact Studies

Climate change scenarios are the link between process studies of climate change and impact assessments. It is currently difficult to use climate models directly to estimate the impacts of increasing greenhouse...

Socio-economic impacts of changes in water resources due to global warming

Perhaps the largest impact of global warming on mankind will be through its effects on water resources and water availability. Many studies have investigated potential changes in water balance and hydrological...
