Evaluation of CMIP5 Global Climate Models over the Volta Basin: Precipitation by Jacob Agyekum, Thompson Annor, Benjamin Lamptey, Emmannuel Quansah, Richard Yao Kuma Agyeman

“…For the annual cycle of the monthly total, the CESM1-BGC, the MPI-ESM-MR, and the NorESM1-M were able to simulate the peak of the observed rainy season well in the Soudano-Sahel, the Sahel, and the entire basin, respectively, while all the models had difficulty in simulating the bimodal pattern of the Guinea Coast. The ensemble mean shows high performance compared to the individual models in various timescales.…”

Resilient Waterfront Futures: Mapping Vulnerabilities and Designing Floating Urban Models for Flood Adaptation on the Tiber Delta by Livia Calcagni, Adriano Ruggiero, Alessandra Battisti

“…However, as not all waterfront areas are suitable for floating urban development, a geographical analysis based on a thorough evaluation of multiple factors, including urban–economic parameters and climate-related variables, led to the identification of a specific area of the Lazio coast, the river Tiber Delta. A comprehensive urban mapping process provided a multifaceted geo-referenced information layer, including several climatic, urban, anthropic, and environmental parameters. …”
