  • Vulnerability of Watersheds to Climate Change Assessed by Neural Network and Analytical Hierarchy Process

    by Uttam Roy, Mrinmoy Majumder ...
    Series series Earth and Environmental Science (R0)
    The increase in GHG gases in the atmosphere due to expansions in industrial and vehicular concentration is attributed to warming of the climate world wide. The resultant change in climatic pattern can induce abnormalities in the hydrological cycle. As a result, the regular functionality of river watersheds will also be affected. This Brief highlights a new methodology to rank the watersheds in ... Read more

  • Global Climate Change - The Technology Challenge

    Edited by Frank Princiotta ...
    Series series Earth and Environmental Science (R0)
    In order to avoid the potentially catastrophic impacts of global warming, the current 3% CO2 global emission growth rate must be transformed to a 1 to 3% declining rate, as soon as possible. This will require a rapid and radical transformation of the world’s energy production and end use systems. The current generation of energy technologies are not capable of achieving the level of mitigation ... Read more
