Book Synopsis Climate Change in the Great Lakes Region by : Thomas Dietz
Download or read book Climate Change in the Great Lakes Region written by Thomas Dietz and published by MSU Press. This book was released on 2011-12-01 with total page 428 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: People living in the Great Lakes region are already feeling the effects of a changing climate. Shifts in seasonal temperatures and precipitation patterns could have dramatic impacts on the economy, ecology, and quality of life. In this illuminating and thorough volume, leading scholars address the challenge of preparing for climate change in the region, where decision makers from various sectors—government, agriculture, recreation, and tourism—must increasingly be aware of the need to incorporate climate change into their short- and long-term planning. The chapters in this revealing book, written by some of the foremost climate change scholars in North America, outline the major trends in the climate of the Great Lakes region, how humans might cope with the uncertainty of climate change impacts, and examples of on-the-ground projects that have addressed these issues.

Book Synopsis Great Lakes-St. Lawrence Basin Project on Adapting to the Impacts of Climate Change and Variability by : Linda D. Mortsch
Download or read book Great Lakes-St. Lawrence Basin Project on Adapting to the Impacts of Climate Change and Variability written by Linda D. Mortsch and published by . This book was released on 1996 with total page 190 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There still is much uncertainty about the timing, the rate and the magnitude of climate change in the Great Lakes-St. Lawrence Basin (GLSLB); yet concern for potential impacts remains. The GLSLB contains 20 percent of the world's fresh water and is home to over 42.5 million people. It is a region rich in human and natural resources, with diverse economic activities and complex infrastructures. Significant economic restructuring and environmental changes are underway. Governments, industries and other Basin interests will have the added complication of managing the multiple activities within the Basin under the exacerbating conditions of potential climate change. This challenge must be addressed: first through research, and then by applying the research to all levels of management within the Basin.

Download or read book Implications of Climatic Change for Navigation and Power Generation in the Great Lakes written by Marie Sanderson and published by The Service. This book was released on 1987 with total page 60 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Of the results of two phases of a study to determine the likely impact of climate change on navigation and hydro power generation in the Great Lakes. The first phase, completed in March 1985, included a review of the climate impacts literature, the construction of a theoretical framework describing the affecting links, and an evaluation of several models for their suitability for climate impact assessment. The second phase was completed in March 1986 and was a preliminary assessment, using the appropriate models.

Book Synopsis Adapting to Climate Change and Variablity in the Great Lakes-St. Lawrence Basin by : Linda D. Mortsch
Download or read book Adapting to Climate Change and Variablity in the Great Lakes-St. Lawrence Basin written by Linda D. Mortsch and published by Canadian Government Publishing. This book was released on 1998 with total page 204 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Presents proceedings of a symposium held to assess the risks of climate change and variability in the Great Lakes-St. Lawrence Basin and identify sustainable adaptation responses through the integration of various stakeholder perspectives. The proceedings included keynote presentations, poster papers, panel sessions, and working groups. Topics covered include Canadian and US research activities and scientific advances made in the areas of climate change, impacts and adaptation assessment, and climate prediction; impacts and risks of climate change and variability, and adaptation to those impacts and risks, from the point of view of such stakeholders as watershed managers, electric utilities, water suppliers, farmers, and governments; and future directions in water use and management, human health, land use and management, and ecosystem health.
Book Synopsis Potential Climate Change Effects on Great Lakes Hydrodynamics and Water Quality by : David C. L. Lam
Download or read book Potential Climate Change Effects on Great Lakes Hydrodynamics and Water Quality written by David C. L. Lam and published by ASCE Publications. This book was released on 1999-01-01 with total page 236 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report provides a state-of-the-art review of the climate change effects on lake hydrodynamics and water quality. Most of the engineering cases in this book deal with the ability of existing infrastructure to cope with extreme weather conditions. The case studies are intended to illustrate the advancement in modeling research on lake hydrodynamics, thermal stratification, pollutant transport, and water quality by highlighting the climate change aspects in the application of these techniques. Topics include climate and lake responses, lake thermodynamics, large-scale circulation, wind-waves on large lakes, great lakes ice cover, and water quality.

Book Synopsis Great Lakes Climate Change Hydrologic Impact Assessment by : Thomas E. Croley
Download or read book Great Lakes Climate Change Hydrologic Impact Assessment written by Thomas E. Croley and published by . This book was released on 2003 with total page 77 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This report provides background on earlier Great Lakes climate change impact studies, describes the Great Lakes and their climate, presents hydrological models used in assessing climate change, and summarizes results. Detailed time series of net basin supplies to all of the Great Lakes are available for an unchanged climate scenario and four GCM-generated changed-climate scenarios. The higher air temperatures under the changed-climate scenarios lead to higher over-land evapotranspiration and lower runoff to the lakes with earlier runoff peaks since snow pack is reduced and the snow season is greatly reduced. This also results in a reduction in available soil moisture. Water temperatures increase and peak earlier; heat resident in the deep lakes increases throughout the year. Mixing of the water column diminishes, as most of the lakes become mostly monomictic, and lake evaporation increases. Ice formation is greatly reduced over winter on the deep Great Lakes, and lake evaporation increases; average net supplies drop most where precipitation increases are modest"--from Abstract.
