Opis

Hydroclimatic Extremes in the Middle East and North Africa: Assessment, Attribution and Socioeconomic Impacts focuses on assessing the current situation of hydroclimatic extremes in the MENA region, with particular emphasis on dry and wet extreme events. The results of the rapidly changing atmospheric and oceanic situations of these extremes will be addressed, presenting examples for the environmental, socioeconomic, and cultural impacts of these events in the region and evaluating the current ability to monitor and adapt to such events, as well as exploring the potential use of advanced geospatial techniques in improving current understanding of these extreme events. The book utilizes a multidisciplinary approach with various state-of-the-art methods, approaches, and analytical techniques in environmental, meteorological, and hydrological sciences, providing case studies from the Middle East and North Africa region. It will provide a solid basis for scientists to assess the validation of several research methods in the region and may be applicable to other regions as climate change continues to cause increasing aridity worldwide. The case studies presented will reflect the multifaceted character of hydrometeorological extremes in the region, with representative examples for the environmental, socioeconomic and cultural impacts of climate change. Hydroclimatic Extremes in the Middle East and North Africa: Assessment, Attribution and Socioeconomic Impacts is a valuable source of information for climatologists, meteorologists, hydrologists, agronomists, geographers, and water resource scientists, providing a solid basis of knowledge on how recent climate change impacts hydroclimatic extreme events in one of the driest regions worldwide, opening new avenues for future research. Thoroughly details the effects of climate variability in the Middle East and North Africa region, a hotspot region of climate change vulnerability Examines changes in hydroclimatic extremes at different spatial scales, ranging from local assessments to investigations that cover the entire region Provides a comprehensive assessment of hydrometeorological feedback to current and future climate change in the MENA region Fills the current gap in the literature concerning the response of arid and semi-arid regions to climate change, with particular emphasis on the MENA region Assesses future changes in hydroclimatic extremes in the region under different scenarios of greenhouse gas emissions
