changes in the seasonal and geographical patterns of production and demand need to be managed.
Disturbances and costs due to possible changes in extremes as floods, droughts or storms need to be dealt with.
Uncertainty translates into riskier decisions within the sector including operational and market issues, short term
responses or investments. It also calls for adaptation measures

Province of China, the study undertakes to explore how households
would respond to future climate risks. The research’s innovation lies in its attempts to contribute to the
recent literature gap by digging into the motivations of households to take proactive measures against
probable future climate risks and their preferences for different livelihood activities against possible future

fluctuations in spring-fed rivers are low, but great in surface-fed rivers and more so in glacial rivers. Moreover, ice-caps and glaciers influence the hydrology greatly.
What are the characteristics of the climate? And how does it affect the hydrology? Iceland is located in the Atlantic Ocean at the boundaries of the polar front and the warm temperate air mass (fig. 1); resulting in unstable

Travellers were urged to avoid all watercourses in the affected regions.Most rivers will take days to return to pre-flood conditions, so there is still a reason for cautious travel plans.With the foreword that safety is most important, reporting on these flood events is welcome, either current or afterwards.

In Akureyri the eclipse begins at 08:17 GMT. and ends at 10:14 GMT. At its peak, the eclipse will cover 62% of the sun's diameter.
People should avoid looking directly into the sun without using very dark glasses or film. The safest way to watch the eclipse is to let a binocular or monocular project the sun's image onto white cardboard, and then adjust the focus for sharpness.
