Temperature control,emission abatement and costs: key EMF 27 results from Environment Canada’s Integrated Assessment Model     

Yunfa Zhu  Madanmohan Ghosh 《Climatic change》2014,123(3-4):571-582

This paper investigates the potential impacts of alternative international climate change scenarios based on different policies and technological circumstances on future emission pathways and abatement costs. It also examines if these hypothetical scenarios could result in significant emission reductions required to control the global temperature from rising to no more than 2.5 °C above preindustrial level. Using an integrated assessment model, this paper examines these issues under 12 scenarios derived from four policy perspectives and three technology dimensions. Results show that the no-policy-change baseline scenarios lead to high global average temperatures in the future. To control the temperature efficiently, every global region will be required to undertake considerable abatement efforts. Current country pledges alone, even if fully implemented, cannot control the global temperature in the future to within a comfortable zone. There will still be large gap between the reductions needed to meet the 2.5 degree objective, associated with 550 ppm and the reductions associated with existing abatement efforts. Further stringent policies together with favourable technological conditions may lead to the desired level of temperature control. Participation by only a subset of nations not only makes achieving the temperature goal difficult but also costly. To achieve temperature control efficiently, global coordination and full participation by all regions are necessary and global participation may reduce global abatement costs. It is worth noting that abatement costs vary widely across regions under different policy and technology scenarios.  相似文献

Landscape characterization of Sariska National Park (India) and its surroundings

Landscape characterization gives an overall information on the status of Land Use and Land Cover(LULC),changes in its composition and the impact of natural and human influences operating at different spatial and temporal scales.This information can be used to monitor changes in natural forest resources and protected areas,delineate potential conservation areas and can serve in effective management of ecologically fragile landscapes.In the present study,geo-spatial tools were used to characterize the landscape of Sariska National Park and its surroundings.Satellite data was used to prepare LULC maps for 1989 and 2000,change detection analysis and computation of landscape metrics.Climatic data,field records and modeling tools were used to map the po-tential spread of two invasive species,Prosopis juliflora and Adhatoda vasica.The results show that the forest area increased from 1989 to 2000,indicating better management practices.Landscape metrics(PAFRAC,PLADJ and AI)also support this argument.Improvements in the degraded forest can further enhance this effect.The entire reserve however is suitable for the invasion of P.juliflora and A.vasica but is more pronounced in Boswellia serrata and Anogeissus pendula-Acacia catechu(open)forests.A detailed landscape characterization map can help forest managers to make important policy decisions concerning issues such as in-vasive species.  相似文献   

An Environmental Threshold of Soil Test P and Degree of P Saturation of Brazilian Oxisols     

Amlan Kumar Ghosh  Joyce Barbosa  Ivo Ribeiro da Silva 《洁净——土壤、空气、水》2011,39(5):421-427

To develop P management guidelines for poultry litter application in Oxisols of Brazil, the relationship between water soluble P (WSP), soil test P (STP), and degree of P saturation (DPS) needs to be established. The study examined this relationship in Oxisols of Brazil receiving poultry litter. Soils were analyzed for Mehlich‐1 P (M1‐P), WSP, P fractions, P sorption index (PSI), and P saturation based on Mehlich‐1 extractable P, Al, Fe (DPS_M1), and PSI (DPS_PSI). Surface water bodies in the catchment area were examined for inorganic and total P. All the surface water bodies in the catchment area of the sampled plots were highly enriched in inorganic and organic P. Enrichment of soil P fractions following poultry litter application followed the order HCl‐bound > NaOH‐bound > NaHCO₃‐bound fraction. M1‐P was correlated to labile (NaHCO₃‐P_i), and stable P pools (NaOH‐P and HCl‐P) and reflected the cumulative P accumulation in these soils. P saturation indices increased with cumulative P addition and increasing M1‐P. WSP increased with increasing DPS and a change point was noticed at 23% DPS_PSI (equivalent to DPS_M1 of 16.5%) corresponding to M1‐P of 44.5 mg P kg^?1, which could be regarded as threshold for P loss in these soils.  相似文献   

Shallow Crustal Configuration of the Narmada–Son Lineament Transition Zone Near the Sahdol–Katni Area of Central India Using Simultaneous Gravity and Magnetic Observations     

G. K. Ghosh  C. L. Singh 《Pure and Applied Geophysics》2011,168(5):845-860

Gravity and magnetic studies have been carried out to map the different depth formations of alluvium, Gondwana, Vindhyan, Mahakoshal, and the crystalline basement in the Narmada–Son lineament (NSL) near the Sahdol–Katni area, India. Higher elevations in the northern part of the study area have lower gravity; the southern part of the study area, however, is moderately elevated and also has a higher gravity anomaly, which justifies the isostatic adjustment. This indicates the presence of high-density material, for example Mahakoshal rocks, in the upper crust which causes the higher anomaly value. The Mahakoshal rocks are widely exposed at Mau, Chanaura, Nadawar, Khamaria, Umria, and near the Tala–Barhi area and also extend from Sidhi to Agoni village further east of the area. The Mahakoshal rocks are thinner between the river Son and Tikwa village which causes a different gravity anomaly pattern changing from the NNE–SSW direction to the N–S direction. However, the trend of magnetic anomaly follows the same pattern toward the NNE–SSW direction, mainly because of the effect of the crystalline basement. Two magnetic highs are prominent in the Tikwa and Amarpur regions, 800 and 400 nTesla, respectively, because of the presence of the crystalline basement. The depth of the crystalline basement obtained by 2½ D gravity–magnetic modelling varies from 2.7 to 2.9 km. From spectral analysis the average depth of the crystalline basement varies from 2.83 to 3.05 km. The different crustal depth sections obtained by 2½ D simultaneous gravity–magnetic modelling correlate well with other constrained data.  相似文献   

Radon as seismic precursor: new data with well water of Jalpaiguri,India     

Dipak Ghosh  Argha Deb  Swarup Ranjan Sahoo  Subrata Haldar  Rosalima Sengupta 《Natural Hazards》2011,58(3):877-889

This paper reports the measurement of radon concentration in well water at the site of Jalpaiguri (26°32′N, 88°46′E) near the active fault zone of West Bengal, India. Radon concentration has been measured in well water with the help of solid-state nuclear track detectors (SSNTD). The study indicates a positive correlation between radon anomaly and earthquake. The data of radon content in well water have been compared with that in soil gas at the same site.  相似文献   

Field solution in an anisotropic plasma imbedded in a moving dielectric medium     

S. S. De  Manasi Mal  Bithika Ghosh  B. K. Sarkar  B. Ghosh  S. K. Adhikari 《Astrophysics and Space Science》1992,194(2):251-259

Wave equations in an anisotropic plasma imbedded in a moving dielectric medium have been derived through Maxwell-Minkowski relations. These are solved for longitudinal and transverse cases of propagation. The dispersion relation within the medium has been deduced through which the nature of splitting may be understood.  相似文献

Simultaneous infrared and H-alpha measurements of Be stars     

Krishna M. V. Apparao  S. P. Tarafdar  R. P. Verma  K. V. K. Iyengar  K. K. Ghosh 《Journal of Astrophysics and Astronomy》1993,14(3-4):131-134

The observed infrared excess in Be stars is usually interpreted as free-free and free-bound emission from a hot gas envelope around the Be star. This hot gas should also emit H-alpha line radiation. Earlier observations had suggested that the infrared excess and Hα radiation were not consistent with models in which they arise from the same ionized region; however the observations were made at different times. We have made simultaneous observation of infrared and H-alpha line radiation. Our observations imply that either both these radiations cannot arise from the same hot gas or additional processes have to be invoked to account for the observed excess infrared radiation.  相似文献
