Climate Change Projected to Impact Extreme Heat Days and Heat-Related llnesses
Heat island effect can exacerbate the impact of extreme heat days Climate change is projected to significantly impact the number of extreme heat days per month. As global temperatures continue to rise, the frequency and intensity of heat waves will likely increase,...
Impact of Climate Change On Sea Level Rise and Coastal Infrastructure
Climate change is projected to impact the rise of sea levels significantly. As global temperatures continue to rise, the polar ice caps and glaciers are melting at an accelerated rate. This influx of melted ice is gradually causing sea levels to rise,...

Fuzzy Rule-Based Approaches to Floodplain Mapping and Management
Addressing inherent uncertainties and complexities with floodplain mapping An Investigation of the Current Situation of Floodplain Mapping in British Columbia: A Fuzzy Rule-Based Approach presents a comprehensive analysis of the existing floodplain mapping techniques...
Understanding Fluvial or River Flooding Versus Pluvial or Surface Water Flooding
Fluvial and pluvial flooding are two distinct types of flooding events that transpire due to different natural processes. Fluvial flooding or river flooding refers to the inundation of land around a river or stream due to overflowing water within its banks....

Impact of Climate Change on Future Weather and Wind Circulation Patterns
Temperature differences weakening the polar jet stream and other wind systems Climate change is not only affecting temperature and precipitation patterns, but it is also impacting wind patterns around the world. As global temperatures rise, the distribution and...
How Climate Change Impacts Precipitation Patterns and the Built Environment
The impact of precipitation due to climate change on infrastructure is significant and far-reaching. As the climate continues to change, extreme weather events such as heavy rainfall and flooding are becoming more frequent and intense, putting infrastructure at...
