Researchers found that improving short-term temperature forecasts in alignment with expert predictions of technological development could reduce U.S. mortality from heat by 18% to 25% in the year 2100.
Scientists have observed a trend showing the jet stream is gradually shifting northward, independent of its seasonal or more short-term variations. The findings also set a precedent for a future trajectory of jet stream variation and extreme weather.
Different regions of the Amazon rainforest respond to drought differently because of differences in local forest environments and differences in the properties of trees themselves.
The findings from new research, led by University of Arizona dendrochronologist Bryan Black, could have implications for seismic preparedness measures in the region.
Using data from two NOAA satellites, University of Arizona researchers developed an algorithm for measuring wind via water vapor.
A University of Arizona undergraduate looked at cities as living things to investigate how human energy use changes with rising temperatures. Her research could help save lives from heat waves.
In the face of disruptive environmental and economic change, data and artificial intelligence may offer the best hope for resilience in agriculture, farming, ranching, and water use amid a drying climate.
Researchers at the University of Arizona have found that extreme heat often follows tropical cyclones – complicating disaster recovery even further.
Voluntary Commitments
The organization has no registered commitments.
The Sendai Framework Voluntary Commitments (SFVC) online platform allows stakeholders to inform the public about their work on DRR. The SFVC online platform is a useful toolto know who is doing what and where for the implementation of the Sendai Framework, which could foster potential collaboration among stakeholders. All stakeholders (private sector, civil society organizations, academia, media, local governments, etc.) working on DRR can submit their commitments and report on their progress and deliverables.
