| Research Abstract |
The purpose of this project is to clarify the effects of global warming on forests, water resources and sediment disasters in Japan. At first, the estimation of possible changes in precipitation and temperature in Japan was investigated by the results of the reconstruction of paleo climate using dendrochronology and stable isotope. The results of the numerical simulations by GCMs were also taken into accounts.
Based on this estimation, the effects of global warming on forests, water resources and sediment disasters were evaluated.
A model was developed for estimating changes in water resources. Possible changes of water balances, such as river discharge and evapotranspiration was evaluated by the model.
Increase of sediment yield was considered to be inevitable because of the increase of precipitation, resulting in the increase of serious disasters.
