Abstract. Projections of future climate change play a fundamental role in improving understanding the system as well characterizing societal risks and response options. The Scenario Model Intercomparison Project (ScenarioMIP) is primary activity within Phase 6 Coupled (CMIP6) that will provide multi-model projections based on alternative scenarios emissions land use changes produced with integrated assessment models. In this paper, we describe ScenarioMIP's objectives, experimental design,...
Abstract. The Scenario Model Intercomparison Project (ScenarioMIP) defines and coordinates the main set of future climate projections, based on concentration-driven simulations, within Coupled phase 6 (CMIP6). This paper presents a range its outcomes by synthesizing results from participating global coupled Earth system models. We limit our scope to analysis strictly geophysical outcomes: mainly averages spatial patterns change for surface air temperature precipitation. also compare CMIP6...
Abstract The field of MultiSector Dynamics (MSD) explores the dynamics and co‐evolutionary pathways human Earth systems with a focus on critical goods, services, amenities delivered to people through interdependent sectors. This commentary lays out core definitions concepts, identifies MSD science questions in context current state knowledge, describes ongoing activities expand capacities for open science, leverage revolutions data computing, grow diversify workforce. Central our vision is...
Adaptation requires science that analyzes decisions, identifies vulnerabilities, improves foresight, and develops options.
Since 1995, the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project (CMIP) has coordinated climate model experiments involving multiple international modeling teams. Through CMIP, modelers and scientists from around world have analyzed compared state‐of‐the‐art simulations to gain insights into processes, mechanisms, consequences of variability change. This led a better understanding past, present, future climate, CMIP routinely been basis for change assessments made by Intergovernmental Panel on Climate...
Abstract Regulatory agencies have long adopted a three‐tier framework for risk assessment. We build on this structure to propose tiered approach resilience assessment that can be integrated into the existing regulatory processes. Comprehensive approaches assessing at appropriate and operational scales, reconciling analytical complexity as needed with stakeholder needs resources available, ultimately creating actionable recommendations enhance are still lacking. Our proposed consists of tiers...
Scenario planning is a technique used to inform decision-making under uncertainty, and increasingly applied in the field of climate change adaptation policy. This paper describes applications that combine previously distinct scenario methods new innovative ways. It draws on numerous recent independent case studies illustrate emerging practices, such as far stronger connections between researcher-driven participatory approaches cycling exploratory normative perspectives. The concludes with...
