Mekong ARCC Climate Change and Hydrology Modeling Methods and Results
This presentation for the Mekong ARCC project was given by ICEM at the Interim Results Workshop in Hanoi – held from 31 October to 1 November 2012. The modeling team consisting of ICEM’s Tarek Ketelsen, Jorma Koponen, Jeremy Carew-Reid, Simon Tilleard, Mai Ky Vinh, and To Quang Toan, presented the climate change and hydrological modeling results for the LMB.
The presentation provides an overview of the hydrologial modelling activities carried out (prior to the interim workshop) covering climate change and the Mekong Basin, the study methodology, basin-wide findings, and challenges and limitations of the study.
The presentation contains projections of future emissions, the quantification of future climate change threats, projections of future atmospheric systems to regional and and ocean dynamics and downscaling projections to the Mekong Basin science including predicting future changes in the Delta floodplain environment.
