Evaluating Climate Change Impacts discusses assessing and
quantifying climate change and its impacts from a multi-faceted
perspective of ecosystem, social, and infrastructure resilience,
given through a lens of statistics and data science. It provides a
multi-disciplinary view on the implications of climate variability
and shows how the new data science paradigm can help us to mitigate
climate-induced risk and to enhance climate adaptation strategies.
This book consists of chapters solicited from leading topical
experts and presents their perspectives on climate change effects
in two general areas: natural ecosystems and socio-economic
impacts. The chapters unveil topics of atmospheric circulation,
climate modeling, and long-term prediction; approach the problems
of increasing frequency of extreme events, sea level rise, and
forest fires, as well as economic losses, analysis of climate
impacts for insurance, agriculture, fisheries, and electric and
transport infrastructures. The reader will be exposed to the
current research using a variety of methods from physical modeling,
statistics, and machine learning, including the global circulation
models (GCM) and ocean models, statistical generalized additive
models (GAM) and generalized linear models (GLM), state space and
graphical models, causality networks, Bayesian ensembles, a variety
of index methods and statistical tests, and machine learning
methods. The reader will learn about data from various sources,
including GCM and ocean model outputs, satellite observations, and
data collected by different agencies and research units. Many of
the chapters provide references to open source software R and
Python code that are available for implementing the methods.
