Investigation, Monitoring, Projection, and Mitigation of Environmental Changes Related to Climate Change Impact II Posters

Submit an Abstract to this Session



Session ID#: 22525

Session Description:
In recent years, severe storms have been occurring more frequently and in greater intensity across the world, resulting in serious damage, massive property losses and deaths, such as the 2010 Monsoon flood of Pakistan, the 2011 Tropical storm Washi of Philippines, and the 2017 flood of Quebec, Canada. Conversely, semi-arid/arid regions such as Nigeria and Somalia of Africa are prone to prolonged moisture deficit or droughts that lead to a loss of multibillion dollar revenues from agriculture, resulting in famine. Given the global rising cost and damages of significant environmental changes such as hydrologic extremes, melting glaciers and ice caps, sea level rise, forest fires, and many natural disasters causing serious damage and massive property losses, the proposed session is both socially and economically relevant and timely. This session will consider studies regarding future risk of natural hazards such as hydrologic extremes, tropical cyclones, hurricanes, and droughts in relation to possible impacts of global warming and climate anomalies such as El Niño Southern Oscillation or others; and studies related to adaptation strategies, mitigation measures, and environmental sustainability.
