This study presents and discusses the most prominent parameters of the present climate at the Mittivakkat Glacier catchment and focuses on the spatiotemporal variations and trends of these parameters for the period 1994-2006, comparing the coastal
Sensitivity analysis of glacier systems to climate warming in China

In this paper, the AA. analyze the characteristics of 44 glacier systems in Chinese Glacier Inventory which were divided by watershed boundaries. They apply functional model to simulate the glacier systems to climate warming, and predict different
sensitivity types of glacier system's variation trends under different climate warming events.
Soil erosion from sugar beet in Central Europe in response to climate change induced seasonal precipitation variations

This study estimates the implications of projected seasonal variations in rainfall quantities caused by climate change for water erosion rates by means of a modeling case study on sugar beet cultivation in the pre-alpine region of Upper-Austria
. The results also indicate the high potential of adaptive land-use management for climate change response strategies in the agricultural sector.

Catchment-scale hydrological response to climate-land-use combined scenarios : a case study for the Kishwaukee River basin, Illinois
Climatic change ; Hydrology ; Illinois ; Land use ; Model ; Runoff ; United States of America ; Water resources ; Watershed
This paper examines how the Kishwaukee River basin located between Chicago and Rockford, would respond to various climate-land use combined scenarios. The Hydrological Simulation Program-Fortran was calibrated and repeatedly run with 8 climate-land
-use combined scenarios generated from a general circulation model and a dynamic urban growth model. The climate scenarios were based on 2 IPCC SRES emission scenarios and the land-use scenarios were based on 4 economic growth scenarios. The results
of the study indicate that total runoff is predicted to decrease noticeably to moderate climate change but shows little sensitivity to land-use change.

Much of the recent progress in the application of palaeobiogeography to issues of climate change and its impacts can be attributed to developments along a number of still advancing methodological frontiers. These include increasingly finely resolved
chronological resolution, more refined atmosphere-biosphere modelling, new biological and chemical techniques in reconstructing past species distributions and past climates, the development of large and readily accessible geo-referenced databases
of biogeographical and climatic information, and new approaches in fossil morphological analysis and new molecular DNA techniques.

Based on the sand dust storms data and climatic data in 12 meteorological stations around sand dust storm originating areas of the Taklimakan Desert, the AA. analyzed the trends of the number of dust storm days from 1960 to 2005 as well
as their correlations with temperature, precipitation, wind speed and the number of days with mean wind speed >5 m/s, to determine the influence of climatic parameters on sand dust storms. The results show that the frequency of dust storm events in the Taklimakan region
decreased with the elapse of time. Climatic factor is one of the major conditions for the occurrence of sand dust storm, but not the only one. The disturbance of human activities will become another important trigger for China's frequent sand dust storms.
