This book was released on 2017-11-11 with total page 582 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Fire Season Climatic Zones of Mainland Alaska The scope of this report is that afforded by available climatic data. These data consist of observations of temperature and precipitation from 48 weather observation stations, as listed in table 1 and shown on figure 1, operated by the Bureau of Land Management, the Federal Aviation Administration, the u.s. Air Force, the National Weather Service, and the Alaska State Highway Department, for the months of April through Septe ber, 1956 through 1965. The restriction limiting the stations to mainland Alaska serves to exclude the Arctic Slope, the Aleutian Island chain, and the Alaska Panhandle southeast of Yakutat, but encompasses the portions of the State that are chiefly affected by wildfires.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Potential Evapotranspiration and Climate in Alaska by Thornthwaite's Classification Bureau files at Anchorage. Altogether, climatic records were obtained for 315 stations in Alaska, the coastal islands, and nearby Canada. These records varied in length from 1 year at several stations to about 100 years at Sitka. Estimates of available soil moisture were inferred from soil maps of Alaska (kellogg and Nygard 1951) when more specific information was unavailable.

This book was released on 2019-02 with total page 20 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Rates of Spread of Wildfire in Alaskan Fuels The data were stratified to provide meaningful input to fire models. The primary stratifications for our analysis were cover type (fuel) and direction of spread of fire (heading, backing, or flanking). Mature and young cover types were pooled, then analyzed. The broader cover types of conifer, hardwood, mixed conifer-hardwood, shrubs and brush, leaves, grass, and tundra were used.

Download or read book Climate Change and Indigenous Peoples in the United States written by Julie Koppel Maldonado and published by Springer. This book was released on 2014-04-05 with total page 178 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With a long history and deep connection to the Earth’s resources, indigenous peoples have an intimate understanding and ability to observe the impacts linked to climate change. Traditional ecological knowledge and tribal experience play a key role in developing future scientific solutions for adaptation to the impacts. The book explores climate-related issues for indigenous communities in the United States, including loss of traditional knowledge, forests and ecosystems, food security and traditional foods, as well as water, Arctic sea ice loss, permafrost thaw and relocation. The book also highlights how tribal communities and programs are responding to the changing environments. Fifty authors from tribal communities, academia, government agencies and NGOs contributed to the book. Previously published in Climatic Change, Volume 120, Issue 3, 2013.
Download or read book Climate Change Adaptation and Mitigation Management Options written by James M. Vose and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2013-12-05 with total page 494 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Forest land managers face the challenges of preparing their forests for the impacts of climate change. However, climate change adds a new dimension to the task of developing and testing science-based management options to deal with the effects of stressors on forest ecosystems in the southern United States. The large spatial scale and complex interactions make traditional experimental approaches difficult. Yet, the current progression of climate change science offers new insights from recent syntheses, models, and experiments, providing enough information to start planning now for a future that will likely include an increase in disturbances and rapid changes in forest conditions. Climate Change Adaptation and Mitigation Management Options: A Guide for Natural Resource Managers in Southern Forest Ecosystems provides a comprehensive analysis of forest management options to guide natural resource management in the face of future climate change. Topics include potential climate change impacts on wildfire, insects, diseases, and invasives, and how these in turn might affect the values of southern forests that include timber, fiber, and carbon; water quality and quantity; species and habitats; and recreation. The book also considers southern forest carbon sequestration, vulnerability to biological threats, and migration of native tree populations due to climate change. This book utilizes the most relevant science and brings together science experts and land managers from various disciplines and regions throughout the south to combine science, models, and on-the-ground experience to develop management options. Providing a link between current management actions and future management options that would anticipate a changing climate, the authors hope to ensure a broader range of options for managing southern forests and protecting their values in the future.

Download or read book Attribution of Extreme Weather Events in the Context of Climate Change written by National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2016-07-28 with total page 187 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As climate has warmed over recent years, a new pattern of more frequent and more intense weather events has unfolded across the globe. Climate models simulate such changes in extreme events, and some of the reasons for the changes are well understood. Warming increases the likelihood of extremely hot days and nights, favors increased atmospheric moisture that may result in more frequent heavy rainfall and snowfall, and leads to evaporation that can exacerbate droughts. Even with evidence of these broad trends, scientists cautioned in the past that individual weather events couldn't be attributed to climate change. Now, with advances in understanding the climate science behind extreme events and the science of extreme event attribution, such blanket statements may not be accurate. The relatively young science of extreme event attribution seeks to tease out the influence of human-cause climate change from other factors, such as natural sources of variability like El Niño, as contributors to individual extreme events. Event attribution can answer questions about how much climate change influenced the probability or intensity of a specific type of weather event. As event attribution capabilities improve, they could help inform choices about assessing and managing risk, and in guiding climate adaptation strategies. This report examines the current state of science of extreme weather attribution, and identifies ways to move the science forward to improve attribution capabilities.
