An integrated assessment approach for estimating the economic impacts of climate change on River systems: An application to hydropower and fisheries in a Himalayan River, Trishuli

Journal Article Mishra, Shruti Khadka ; Hayse, John ; Veselka, Thomas ; ... - Environmental Science and Policy

Changes in snow and glacier melt and precipitation patterns are expected to alter the water flow of rivers at various spatial and temporal scales. Hydropower generation and fisheries are likely to be impacted annually and over the century by seasonal, as well as long-term changes, in hydrological conditions. In order to quantify the effect of climate changes on hydropower and fisheries, we developed an integrated assessment framework that links biophysical models (positive degree-day model, hydrologic model, run-of-river power system model, and fishery suitability index) and economic models. This framework was used to demonstrate the framework's utility for gaining insights intomore »« less

Differential Impact of Climate Change on the Hydropower Economies of Karakoram and Himalayan River Basins

Journal Article Mishra, Shruti ; Veselka, Tom ; Grogan, Danielle S. ; ... - Frontiers in Earth Science

Water stored in the form of snow and glaciers in the High Mountain Asia (HMA) region regulates the water supply, and resultant water-based economies, that support the livelihoods of millions of people. Trends in the seasonal and long-term melting of snow and glaciers, governed by initial ice reserves, meteorological factors and geographic features, vary across sub-basins in the HMA region. We examined the economic impacts of climate-led changes in river flow in two drainage basins, one each from the Karakoram and Central Himalaya region. We used an integrated assessment framework to estimate the changes in economic value of the hydropowermore »« less

Climate Change Impacts for the Conterminous USA: An Integrated Assessment Part 7. Economic Analysis of Field Crops and Land Use with Climate Change

Journal Article Sands, Ronald D ; Edmonds, James A - Climatic Change, 69(1):127-150

PNNL's Agriculture and Land Use (AgLU) model is used to demonstrate the impact of potential changes in climate on agricultural production and land use in the United States. AgLU simulates production of four crop types in several world regions, in 15-year time steps from 1990 to 2095. Changes in yield of major field crops in the United States, for 12 climate scenarios, are obtained from simulations of the EPIC crop growth model. Results from the HUMUS model are used to constrain crop irrigation, and the BIOME3 model is used to simulate productivity of unmanaged ecosystems. Assumptions about changes in agriculturalmore »« less

Approach for assessing fisheries impacts of basin-wide hydropower development

Conference Cada, G F ; McLean, R B

An application of a matrix technique to the assessment of hydropower impacts on resident trout in the Upper San Joaquin River Basin in California is presented. Advantages and limitations of the approach as a tool for evaluating multiple-project impacts are described. Recommendations are made for further development of the matrix technique to perform basin-level, cumulative impact assessments.
A paleoscience approach to estimating the effects of climatic warming on salmonid fisheries of the Columbia River Basin

Conference Chatters, J C ; Butler, V L ; Scott, M J ; ...

To understand how climatic warming might affect salmonid populations, we are following a four-step procedure, incorporating paleoenvironmental data at the beginning and ending points, as follows. First, we used geomorphic, paleobotanical, and paleomalacological data to reconstruct stream conditions during the last 8000 years. Second, we estimated the effect on salmon of conditions extant approximately 6000 to 7000 radiocarbon years before present (B.P.), when temperatures were as much as 2[degrees]C warmer than at present. This became an analog of future warmer climate and its effects on spawning, incubation, and rearing parameters of the NPPC's Tributary Parameter Model (TPM) for estimating salmonedmore »« less
