Although the storm risk model does not predict windthrow probability climate-sensitively, assumptions on the frequency and intensity of storm events under climate scenarios alter the interpretation when transferring vulnerability probabilities into damages and losses.
On the basis of physical and biochemical indicators in the sediments and OSL chronology, we herein argue that this dune system in the middle latitudes of eastern Asia is much younger than previously assumed and that it has responded sensitively to climate change during the late Quaternary.
Although arctic lakes have responded sensitively to 20th-century climate change, it remains uncertain how these ecological transformations compare with alpine and montane-boreal counterparts over the same interval.
The role of hillslopes, functioning as the key elements for sediment production, storage and transfers, is particularly important within headwater systems in cold climate mountain landscapes that are considered to react sensitively to climate change and human impact.
"The conclusion is that the cryosphere (areas of ice and snow) is both responding more sensitively to, and also driving, stronger climate change than thought," Mark Flanner, an assistant professor at the University of Michigan and lead author of the study, told Reuters.
Vegetation activities sensitively response to topological conditions and a changing climate.
Compared with those from naturally ventilated buildings, the occupants from buildings with split air-conditioners kept indoor climates much cooler, used adaptive opportunities much earlier and perceived their ambient environments more sensitively and rigidly.
High climate variability with the Greenland interstadials and stadials (Dansgard-Oeschger and Heinrich events) in Lake Hazar are sensitively recorded in the core sediments by using multi-proxy analyses.
Chair in climate science at the University of Exeter "What concerns me most is the growing evidence that frozen parts of the climate system are responding extremely sensitively to global warming – the retreat of Arctic summer sea-ice is unprecedented and the rate of ice loss from both the Greenland and Antarctic ice sheets has increased five-fold in just the last two decades".
Sensitively and at length.
We must proceed sensitively.
