Climate hazard screening in energy access planning for sub-Saharan Africa
Towards optimal anticipatory action
Flood Risk Assessment Methodology for Complex Railway Networks
Rail networks comprise complex interdependent systems with extensive trackside and off-track assets that are exposed to extreme weather-related hazards. In this paper, a methodology is presented for flood risk assessment of large rail networks and is demonstrated on the national rail network in Great Britain, which is analyzed for the impact of river flood hazards, with the disruptive impacts measured in terms of direct asset damages, disruptions…
Policy choices can help keep 4G and 5G universal broadband affordable
The UN Broadband Commission has committed to universal broadband by 2030. But can this objective really be affordably delivered? The aim of this paper is to assess universal broadband viability in the developing world, quantifying the relationship between demand-side revenue and supply-side cost. A comprehensive scenario-based simulation model is developed open-source, capable of evaluating the global cost-effectiveness of different 4G and 5G inf…
Designing green infrastructure and sustainable drainage systems in urban development to achieve multiple ecosystem benefits
Urbanisation is one of the greatest threats to biodiversity and ecological connectivity. Green infrastructure (GI) networks and corridors are promoted as a way to preserve habitat connectivity even in the context of urbanisation. Yet, previous research has a primary focus on the ecological benefits that may be provided by GI networks without also valuing other potential ecosystem services. There has also been a lack of research into how the desig…
The utility of built environment geospatial data for high-resolution dasymetric global population modeling
Assessing water security across scales
A diagnostic dashboard to evaluate country water security
While water security is widely regarded as an issue of global significance and concern, there is not yet a consensus on a methodology for evaluating it. The difficulty in operationalizing the concept comes from its various interpretations and characteristics at different spatial and temporal scales. In this paper, we generate a dashboard comprised of 52 indicators to facilitate a rapid assessment of a country's water security and to focus the fir…
Predicting spatial and temporal variability in crop yields
Pervious assessments of crop yield response to climate change are mainly aided with either process-based models or statistical models, with a focus on predicting the changes in average yields, whilst there is growing interest in yield variability and extremes. In this study, we simulate US maize yield using process-based models, traditional regression model and a machine-learning algorithm, and importantly, identify the weakness and strength of e…
Drivers of water use in China’s electric power sector from 2000 to 2015
This study, for the first time, investigates the historical changes of the water use in China’s electric power sector on a regional level and quantifies the impacts of four factors that have influenced the remarkable changes: population, power production per capita, power plants’ type and their cooling technology choice. From 2000 to 2015, water withdrawal and consumption in China’s electric power sector, excluding hydropower, have increased from…
The Economic Impacts of Droughts
Adaptation pathways in practice
Creating an ensemble of future strategies for national infrastructure provision
Tipping elements in the Earth's climate system
The term “tipping point” commonly refers to a critical threshold at which a tiny perturbation can qualitatively alter the state or development of a system. Here we introduce the term “tipping element” to describe large-scale components of the Earth system that may pass a tipping point. We critically evaluate potential policy-relevant tipping elements in the climate system under anthropogenic forcing, drawing on the pertinent literature and a rece…
