From Uncertain Space: Spatial Trajectory of a Social Innovation ‘by Withdrawal’. Study of the Composition of the Association of Lodges and Huts in Queyras (Hautes-Alpes, France)... by Yann Borgnet

“…Alpine territories located outside major ski areas have often developed in contrasting ways: On the one hand, improvements are made for alpine skiing; on the other hand, there is a need to build an alternative model that supports other practices and other seasons besides winter. Queyras has followed this cyclical process by alternating between good periods of development driven by innovation and periods of crisis. …”

Changes of Runoff in Bosten Lake Basin and Annual Distribution Characteristics by MO Yinxue, YAO Junqiang, QU Lianglu, ZHOU Guixiang

“…Based on the monthly measured runoff data of Kaidu River and Huangshui Gulley of Tarim River Basin Administration from 1956 to 2021,the variation and annual distribution of runoff in Kaidu River and Huangshui Gulley are studied by the methods of concentration,linear regression,and Mann-Kendall rank test.The results show that the annual runoff of the Kaidu River and the Huangshui Gulley shows an increasing trend,and the annual runoff shows a gradual change of “decreasing,increasing,and decreasing”.The annual runoff of Kaidu River and Huangshui Gulley had abrupt changes in 1996 and 1994,respectively.After abrupt changes,the annual average runoff was higher than that before abrupt changes.The monthly runoff shows an increasing trend,and the monthly runoff increases significantly in winter.The monthly runoff distribution is unimodal throughout the year,and the annual runoff is mainly concentrated in summer,with the peak runoff in July.The mean monthly runoff after the abrupt changes was higher than that before the abrupt changes and multi-year averages.The characteristic values of each index show that the annual runoff distribution of Kaidu River has a uniform development trend,while that of Huangshui Gulley is still concentrated.The runoff of Kaidu River is mainly affected by precipitation and temperature,and that of Huangshui Gulley is mainly affected by temperature change.…”

Climate Projection of Dongjiang River Basin Based on Statistical Downscaling Methods by DU Yi

“…For higher reliability of climate projections in the Dongjiang River Basin,various methods are used to statistically downscale the air temperature and precipitation output generated by the global climate model CanESM2.The results reveal that SDSM and Delta have good downscaling simulations on the temperature and precipitation in the Dongjiang River Basin,respectively.For temperature,the daily minimum temperature will increase by 2.26 ℃ (RCP4.5) and 3.65 ℃ (RCP8.5);the daily mean temperature will increase by 2.70 ℃ (RCP4.5) and 4.69 ℃ (RCP8.5),and the daily maximum temperature will increase by 2.79 ℃ (RCP4.5) and 4.95 ℃ (RCP8.5) by the end of the 21^st century (2081—2100) relative to the benchmark period (1961—2005).In terms of precipitation,the annual precipitation will rise at a rate of 16.4 mm/10a,8.7 mm/10a,and 25.4 mm/10a under the RCP2.6,RCP4.5,and RCP8.5 scenarios,respectively.In addition,the temperature increase is more prominent in summer and winter,while precipitation increases more in summer and autumn.Overall,the risk of temperature extremes and precipitation extremes in the Dongjiang River Basin during the flood season may increase in the future.…”
