  • Arctic Region ; Climatic change ; Climatic warming ; Eurasia ; Global change ; Habitat ; Natural resources ; Permafrost ; Sea transport ; Society-environment relationship
  • This paper examines climatic and related environmental changes occurring in the Arctic and discusses how the changes may cascade throughout the world, with particularly pronounced effects in parts of Eurasia. The paper outlines numerous
  • manifestations of a warming Arctic climate, including reduced Arctic ice cap thickness and extent, reduction of the continuous permafrost zone, and changes in the conditions of terrestrial and marine habitats in the Far North. It explores how these changes have

  • The A., specialist in environmental geography, introduces this symposium on climate change. He argues that the 3 papers (a) demonstrate the geographical approaches necessary for understanding broader social, economic, and environmental consequences
  • of climate change at a range of scales; and (b) allow understanding to be gained of a possible world under changed climate. His review highlights assessments that climate changes in the Arctic will provide a variety of geographical outcomes (entailing both

  • This paper, using the Boyne catchment in the east of Ireland as a case study, discusses the uncertainties involved in climate change impact assessment for catchment hydrology and highlights why uncertainties are unlikely to be constrained or reduced
  • in the time-scale required for adaptation. In addition, by calculating the time required for climate change signals to emerge from the observational record and the magnitude of change required for detection, it is highlighted that waiting for climate signals

  • The A. reviews recent model-, empirical-, and fire history-based studies of fire and climate change and proposes 3 pathways along which fire regimes might respond to climate change: changes in fuel condition, fuel volume, and ignitions. Model
  • - and empirical-based studies have largely focused on changes in fuel condition with some models projecting up to 50% increases in area burned under a 2 x CO2 climate. Fire history data derived from tree-rings, sediment charcoal, and soil charcoal have helped
  • identify past trajectories of change in fire regimes and can point to possible future conditions. However, most fire history research has focused on changes in area burned and fire frequency. Changes in fire severity may be equally important for the earth

Changes in employee commuting : a comparative analysis of employee commuting to major Slovenian employment centers from 2000 to 2009
  • Changes in employee commuting : a comparative analysis of employee commuting to major Slovenian employment centers from 2000 to 2009
  • This paper discusses changes in employee commuting in ten largest Slovenian employment centers from 2000 to 2009. Based on the analysis of SRDAP database, changes are presented in employee commuter routes between source and target municipalities
  • . The results show a significant increase in both the scope of employee commuting and the number of routes. Reasons for these changes are explained by the construction of freeway infrastructure. The scope and direction of commuting also depend on changes
  • in the socioeconomic structure and changing job locations within the regions themselves. - (IKR)

  • The AA. bring together work on landscape, temporality and lay knowledges to propose new ways of understanding climate change. A focus on the familiar landscapes of everyday life offers an opportunity to examine how climate change could be researched
  • as a relational phenomenon, understood on a local level, with distinctive spatialities and temporalities. Climate change can be observed in relation to landscape but also felt, sensed, apprehended emotionally as part of the fabric of everyday life.
