Testing climate models for agricultural impacts: recent trends, current projections, crop-climate suitability, and prospects for improved climate model information
Climate change is a hazard to the food security of a growing world population since it affects agriculture and likewise, agriculture and natural resource management affect the climate system. The relationships between all these factors including polices, political conditions, economical managemen...
Examines background to some of the economic analysis done in the African Trypanotolerant Livestock Network; defines some models of animal production; presents results of experiments with the ILCA microcomputer herd model about some important problems in the Network and projects returns to gains o...

Introduction to economic analysis in the African Trypanotolerant Livestock Network
What does the future hold for food security and adaptation to climate change in East Africa? What if there was concerted action towards political and economic integration? What if the opposite happened, and the region became even more fragmented, with people in power focusing on their own narrow ...
Flooding is one of the most devastating natural hazards in the world and its forecast is essential in flood risk reduction and disaster response decision. The lack of adequate monitoring networks, especially in developing countries prevents near real-time flood prediction that could help to reduc...

Availability of reliable, timely and accurate rainfall data is constraining the establishment of flood forecasting and early warning systems in many parts of Africa. We evaluated the potential of satellite and weather forecast data as input to a parsimonious flood forecasting model to provide inf...

Projections of climate change are available at coarse scales (70–400 km). But agricultural and species models typically require finer scale climate data to model climate change impacts. Here, we present a global database of future climates developed by applying the delta method –a method for clim...

Basin-wide planning requires tools and strategies that allow comparison of alternative pathways and priorities at relevant spatial and temporal scales. In this paper, we apply a hydroeconomic model–the Western Nepal Energy Water Model–that better accounts for feedbacks between water and energy ma...
