Abstract:
Estuaries are one of the most important aspects of coastal systems globally. They are often hubs for human civilisation due to the socioeconomic advantages they offer. As they are highly vulnerable to natural forces, including tides, waves, surges and river discharges, it is essential to study the relationship between estuarine morphologies and these natural variables, which is crucial in order to assess estuarine evolution. The Deben Estuary (UK) has been selected as the case study in this study as its morphology has been significantly changed over time. It can be expected that the estuary wi

Abstract:
Alpine plants are assumed to be in particular danger as the climate changes rapidly worldwide. Specialist alpine species in Norrbotten County, northern Sweden have been surveyed over the last 20 years, providing insight to population dynamics and how the plants might respond to the changing climate. The main current threat to the species is habitat destruction as the climate changes. Variation in the number of plants among populations and years, and correlations with environmental variables were examined. Some species had increased while others had decreased over the years.

This study explores the portrayal of the climate-conflict nexus in global and national communications on climate change response.

Through a content analysis, several themes were discerned through which the climate-conflict nexus is portrayed. It can be concluded that there are several differences between the glob

Although the Arctic is one of the most vulnerable regions to climate change, links between hydrology and ecology in high-latitude northern river basins are not well understood. Interdisciplinary research over three summer melt seasons (2010 to 2012) in the Kongsfjorden area of northwest Svalbard identified process connections between conceptual water sources, physicochemical habitat, and ecological structure and functioning in river basins. Water source dynamics determined from hydrochemical and isotopic data indicated differences in meltwater and groundwater contributions to river flow which

Large areas of the world’s oceans experience a significant seasonal cycle in phytoplankton biomass. Variability in the phenology of these phytoplankton blooms affect ecosystem dynamics with implications for carbon export production and food availability at higher trophic levels. Climate change is expected to alter phytoplankton seasonality through changes to the underlying physical drivers controlling bloom timing.

Abstract:
The land surface is important to the climate system for the exchanges of moisture, momentum and heat. Momentum, radiation, and sensible and latent heat fluxes between the atmosphere and the surface will likely affect atmospheric dynamics, temperature, precipitation and humidity fields (Sato et ai., 1989). These may subsequently feed back into the land surface processes as part of a cyclical system. Therefore it is evident that our livelihood is largely dependent on interactions and exchanges between the land surface and climate system (Henderson-Sellers et ai., 1993) and it is thus essential t

A thermal model is developed to find the distribution of stable near-surface ground ice on Mars that is in diffusive contact with the atmosphere for past and present epochs. Variations in the orbit of Mars are able to drive climate changes that affect both surface temperatures and atmospheric water content so the distribution of ground ice will vary significantly in past epochs. A technique is developed to correct the average water vapor density above the surface for depletion due to diurnal frost formation.

Abstract:
Amazonia contains the largest expanse of tropical forest in the world and is globally significant as a store of carbon, a regulator of climate and an area of high species diversity. The ability of the Amazonian forests to maintain these important ecological functions is however, increasingly under question in light of recent predictions of climate change. There is currently significant uncertainty in model predictions of how Amazonian forests will respond to predicted future climate change. This thesis reports the finding of two field studies, targeted at understanding the responses of two tro

Abstract:
This thesis examines how climate change is being integrated within India's national and state government water policy and management practices. Climate change poses significant challenges to the management of non-stationary hydro-meteorological conditions, whilst meeting rising water demand. The nature and orientation of the Indian government's water institutional approach compounds this challenge, due to the1r focus on large-scale infrastructure-based supply-side water management. This research takes an interdisciplinary political ecology approach to examine the Indian hydrocracy's response,

Abstract:
The current cycle of climate change along with increases in hurricane activity, changing precipitation patterns, glacial melt, and other extremes of weather has led to interest and research into the global correlation or teleconnection between these events. Examination of historical climate records, proxies and observations is leading to formulation of hypotheses of climate dynamics with modeling and simulation being used to test these hypotheses as well as making projections. Ocean currents are believed to be an important factor in climate change with thermohaline circulation (THC) fluctuatio

Abstract:
Climate change is likely to alter plant species composition and interactions between plants and soil microbes that together dictate the quantity and quality of forage produced in pastures, the base of animal production in central Kentucky. This study assessed the seasonal dynamics of soil microbes and their response to increased temperature (+3oC) and growing season precipitation (+30% of the mean annual). Total soil microbial biomass, community composition, enzyme activities, potential carbon mineralization, and catabolic responses to selected substrates were measured seasonally in the differ
