In the last decades, anthropogenic drivers have significantly influenced natural climate variability of Earth’s atmosphere. Climate change has become a subject major interest for different levels our society, such as national governments, businesses, local administration, or citizens. While and policies propose mitigation adaptation strategies sectors, public perception is key component any implementation plan. This study investigates CC in Romania, based on national-scale online survey...
Abstract This paper investigates the elevation‐warming relationships across Carpathian Mountains, using 0.1° × gridded daily air temperature dataset developed within CARPATCLIM project, in order to understand spatial patterns of annual and seasonal trends test hypothesis enhanced warming with elevation. Temperature trend analyses were conducted over 50 years (1961–2010). The vertical variations five key isotherms relevant for development cold‐climate weathering, presence permafrost (−2°C,...
This work investigates how the damages in cross-sectoral climate change risk hotspots can be assessed drawing on methodologies developed and applied to eight case studies conducted within EU CROSSEU project. Hotspot analysis represents several key challenges assessment of impacts hazards focus here is extreme events rather than gradual change. Hotspots are defined as areas where likely generate high potential damages. The hotspot identification methodology provides a framework for context...
The paper has in view the assessment of impact climate change on agriculture main agricultural region Romania (Bărăgan Plain), by understanding contextual socio-economic factors area as a key step towards adaptation, but also through identifying user needs, awareness and requirements terms information. A special attention was given to analysis changes political context since 1989, post-communist period, marked fundamental transformations agriculture, with collective state property being...
Under the European Union (EU) energy efficiency targets that Romania has assumed, increasing share of solar been one main points to be considered. The most important resources are found in lowlands and low hills southern south-eastern parts country. current paper is focused on Romanian Plain, which best environmental conditions support development photovoltaic (PV) farms. One hundred ten PV farms have identified mapped cover a total area 1393 hectares. Although it provides clean sustainable...
An increasing plethora of both meteorological and ancillary data are presently available for climate research applications in urban areas. The often held by local or national institutions (i.e., services, universities environmental agencies). This paper outlines a total number 33 datasets, organized into three main categories resources (14 datasets) four (19 datasets), selected their potential to support studies, but also free accessibility. Such collection cannot be exhaustive, we aim draw...
Seasonal snowpack plays a significant role in the climate system. Its characteristics are monitored as change indicators considering snow importance from ecological, hydrological, and economic perspectives. Observation data provides evidence of declining depth, spatial extent duration cover, connection to changes seasonal air temperature precipitation, especially lowlands mid-elevation mountain areas. However, these underpin occurrence compound hazards resulting joint actions rain...
The renewable energy is the solution to global issue, generated by increased consumption needs under continuous population growth and economic development.Romania has reached 2020 target increase share of sources (RES) in gross final 24%, as set strategy for 2007-2020 (updated 2011-2020).However, view reaching new 2030 (32%), a number measures are envisaged.The authors investigated dynamics RES electricity production over 2014-2017 relation EU targets, reviewed main strategic national...
The purpose of this study is to highlight the characteristics renewable energy potential Romania, with focus on wind and solar radiation, effects observed projected climate changes source (RES) availability, as well most relevant actions supporting use towards new EU targets. Climate projections have revealed a weakening power significant increase in sunshine duration. Thus, increased dependency key RES change extreme weather events calls for more resilient approach under current future...
It is widely recognized that climate change affecting slope stability.However, there still a great knowledge gap on landslide-climate interaction, while in data-scarce regions, like Romania, it even less clear how landslide occurrence probability will evolve response to change.The present study proposes methodological framework for assessing the potential effects of hazard at national scale, under current (1961-2015) and future (2021-2050).The research approach developing scenarios relies...
