  • Climate change, uncertainty, and consequent risks :Opportunities for forest management adaptation in Britain

    • Authors: van der Veen, A.; Petr, M.;  Advisor: -;  Participants: - (2014)

  • Thesis explore uncertainty from a decision maker’s perspective; investigate uncertainty from a modeller’s perspective ;reports on the outputs from the drought risk assessment across Britain for the three major species and provides a better understanding of quantified climate change uncertainty; highlights changes of the main forest ecosystem goods and services under climate change impacts over the next 80 years, and suggests how they can be incorporated within the dynamic adaptive policy pathways approach modified for forestry application; reports on changes in forest planners’ decisions about expiry dates for forestry management actions due to new climate change information and discuss the barriers for uptake of this information in the forest planning; reflects on the key findings,...

  • Assessment of recent temperature trends in Mangla watershed

    • Authors: Yaseen, Muhammad;  Advisor: -;  Participants: - (2014)

  • Climate change in the region in terms of changes in temperatures may seriously affect snow melting rates in the watershed and hence flows at dam. The main source of flows is snowmelt and rainfall that varies with temporal and spatial scale. So, understanding of spatial and temporal variability of climatic parameters is most important for the management of water resources. The present study was conducted to test the existence of monotonic trends and relative change (step change) in the annual and seasonal regional maximum, minimum, and mean and diurnal temperature data produced by thiessen polygon method from a meteorological network of stations in Mangla watershed for the period 1971-2010. Significant trends were detected by applying the student t test, Mann Whitney U, Spearman and ...
