Hydrology and public health: linking human leptospirosis and local hydrological dynamics in Trinidad, West Indies
- 2014
Abstract Background Human leptospirosis is currently one of the most widespread
bacterial zoonoses and is the only epidemic-prone infection that can be
transmitted directly from contaminated water. Transmission in humans is caused
by direct or indirect contact with contaminated water, soil or infected urine,
blood or tissue of carrier animals. Initial symptoms are similar with those
suffered durin...
Sharing skills and needs between providers and users of climate information to create climate services: lessons from the Northern Adriatic case study
Tập 3 Số 1 - 2016
Exploring the ability of current climate information to facilitate local climate services for the water sector
Tập 2 - Trang 1-19 - 2015
Local climate services become increasingly necessary in making adaptation to our
changing climate more understandable and manageable. The ability of current
climate information to develop and support local climate services for water
resources management in close collaboration with local users of the water sector
from the island of Crete is being explored. Climate modeling output ranging from
event...
What is the role for carbon cycle science in the proposed EPA power plant rule?
Tập 2 - Trang 1-6 - 2015
On June 2, 2014, the United States Environmental Protection Agency proposed
goals and guidelines aimed at lowering carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions from
existing power plants in the United States. Should it be successfully
implemented, US power plant CO2 emissions would be reduced approximately 30
percent below 2005 levels by the year 2030. Rather than a single national
reduction goal, the proposed ...
Inventive processes in nature: from information origin in chemical evolution to technological exhaustion
Tập 4 - Trang 1-14 - 2017
It has been ten years since the 2006 work of Abel and Trevors wherein the
cybernetic path of life’s origin was proposed as an alternative to the widely
held views of such origin being self-ordering and self-organisation. Cybernetic
adaptation is now recognised as a cornerstone of biological and technological
evolution and as well as of artificial intelligence (AI) and cognition. It is
expected tha...
IRI Data Library: enhancing accessibility of climate knowledge
Tập 1 - Trang 1-12 - 2014
Climate variability affects a broad swath of socio-economic sectors, and if it
increases or the sector becomes overly-tuned to past or present climate
conditions, climate variability becomes of increasing concern to a wide range of
non-climate specialists. The significant challenges to building the capacity of
non-climate specialists to use climate information in research and
decision-making inclu...
Assessing preferences regarding centralized and decentralized water infrastructure in post-earthquake Leogane, Haiti
Tập 1 - Trang 1-13 - 2014
Though the benefits of centralized water systems (e.g. improved publichealth,
environmental protection, streamlined operations, economy of scale, reliability)
are well known, these systems are not always feasible or appropriate. In
developing world settings there has been growing interest by infrastructure
experts,researchers, and international lending institutions in decentralized
means of improv...
Selection of a representative subset of global climate models that captures the profile of regional changes for integrated climate impacts assessment
Tập 4 - Trang 1-20 - 2017
We present the Representative Temperature and Precipitation (T&P) GCM Subsetting
Approach developed within the Agricultural Model Intercomparison and Improvement
Project (AgMIP) to select a practical subset of global climate models (GCMs) for
regional integrated assessment of climate impacts when resource limitations do
not permit the full ensemble of GCMs to be evaluated given the need to also
fo...
