The unit of the chemical footprint is "m 3 water needed to dilute the emissions to a no- or acceptable risk level", and can be used together with the actually available water volumes in a region as an easily communicated ratio and large scale indicator: values lower than one indicate sufficient safety for a studied area, and above one indicates an increased risk for chemical impacts.
Hundreds of local data types of many different properties of thousands of species do not readily translate into large-scale indicators of, say, habitat loss or ecosystem function.
One of these approaches is to aggregate all complex results into a single large-scale indicator, the chemical footprint.
Inequities in access to care along the rural-urban continuum exist and can be masked when evaluation is done at a very large scale with gross indicators of rural-urban.
These inequities can be masked when evaluation is done at a very large scale with gross indicators of rural-urban and when the determinants of access, including place of residence are not taken into account.
We provide novel analyses that link local, regional and basin scale hydrological properties with two major indicators of large scale climate, the North Atlantic Oscillation index and the Northern Hemisphere Temperature index, suggesting that the Mediterranean shift is part of a large scale change in the Northern Hemisphere.
Generation of estimates of cluster seroprevalence can therefore complement the collection of parasitological indicators from periodic large scale surveys in low-transmission settings by indicating recent and historical transmission intensity, depending on population tested and antigens used.
Statistical downscaling takes into account the empirical, spatial, and temporal relationships between large-scale climate indicators (predictors) and local-scale climate variables (predictands) and are trained on a historical period.
Although GCM models can make useful predictions about global large-scale climate indicators, their spatial resolution of 100 200 km are too coarse to satisfy the requirements of regional planning.
You will need to have managed large scale projects and have experience of using Key Performance Indicators.
This is even more problematic on a large scale where there is no common baseline or standardized indicators.
