Economic consequences of global warming in South Africa : a Preliminary Analysis of Unmitigated Damage Costs
Turpie J.; Winkler H.; Spalding-Fecher R.; et al. - Energy Research Centre, University of Cape Town (UCT), 2002What are the predicted economic impacts of climate change in South Africa? This paper attempts to provide preliminary estimates based on secondary data from the findings of the Vulnerability and Adaptation Study for the South African Country Study on Climate Change (1999). The impacts on natural, agricultural, human-made and human capital are addressed using the change in production approach.Economic consequences of global warming in South Africa: a Preliminary Analysis of Unmitigated Damage Costs

Coastally Trapped Wind Reversals
This module starts with a forecast scenario that occurs along the California coast. The module then proceeds to describe the structure and climatology of these disturbances, as well as their synoptic and mesoscale evolution. The instruction concludes with a section on forecasting coastally trapped wind reversals. The module also includes a concise summary for quick reference and a final exam to test your knowledge. Like other modules in the Mesoscale Meteorology Primer, this module comes with audio narration, rich graphics, and a companion print version.

Guidelines for the study of shoreline change in the western Indian Ocean region
Kairu Kuria; Nyandwi Ntahondi; Intergovernmental Oceanographic Commission (IOC); et al. - UNESCO, 2000 (Manuals and guides-No. 40)This manual sets out an approach to the identification and monitoring of shoreline change and its causative processes at local and regional scales that is appropriate to the coastal management problems of the region as reported by the regional contributors. The approach aims to promote the targeting of sparse resources on the acquisition and provision of information that is most relevant to the management of the problem. The procedures for monitoring shoreline change and its contributory processes are described, including the use of accessible relevant regional information and data or meta-dat ...Permalink![]()
