A Framework for Analysis of the Uncertainty of Socioeconomic Growth and Climate Change on the Risk of Water Stress: a Case Study in Asia
(MIT Joint Program on the Science and Policy of Global Change, 2014-11)
The sustainability of future water resources is of paramount importance and is affected by many factors, including population, wealth and climate. Inherent in how these factors change in the future is the uncertainty of ...
Water Body Temperature Model for Assessing Climate Change Impacts on Thermal Cooling
(MIT Joint Program on the Science and Policy of Global Change, 2015-05)
We develop and test a physically based semi-Lagrangian water body temperature model to apply climatological data and thermal pollution from river-based power plants to historical river flow data in order to better understand ...
The Future Water Risks Under Global Change in Southern and Eastern Asia: Implications of Mitigation
(MIT Joint Program on the Science and Policy of Global Change, 2017-07)
Understanding and predicting the future vulnerability of freshwater resources is a major challenge with important societal implications. Many studies have identified Asia as a hotspot of severe water stress in the coming ...
Analysis of U.S. Water Resources under Climate Change
(MIT Joint Program on the Science and Policy of Global Change, 2013-02)
The MIT Integrated Global System Model (IGSM) framework, extended to include a Water Resource System (WRS) component, is applied to an integrated assessment of effects of alternative climate policy scenarios on U.S. water ...
Modeling Water Resource Systems under Climate Change: IGSM-WRS
(MIT Joint Program on the Science and Policy of Global Change, 2012-12)
Through the integration of a Water Resource System (WRS) component, the MIT Integrated Global System Model (IGSM) framework has been enhanced to study the effects of climate change on managed water-resource systems. ...
