Title: Estimating the Potential Economic Impacts of Climate Change on Southern California Beaches-Draft Paper

URL: http://www.energy.ca.gov/2009publications/CEC-500-2009-033/CEC-500-2009-033-D.PDF

Description: Climate change could substantially alter the width of beaches in Southern California. Climatedriven sea level rise will have at least two important impacts on beaches: (1) higher sea level will cause all beaches to become more narrow, all things being held constant, and (2) sea level rise may affect patterns of beach erosion and accretion when severe storms combine with higher high tides. To understand the potential economic impacts of these two outcomes, this study examined the physical and economic effects of permanent beach loss caused by inundation due to sea level rise of one meter and of erosion and accretion caused by a single, extremely stormy year (using a model of beach change based on the wave climate conditions of the El Niño year of 1982/1983.)

Title: Estimating the Mortality Effect of the July 2006 California Heat Wave-Draft Paper

URL: http://www.energy.ca.gov/2009publications/CEC-500-2009-036/CEC-500-2009-036-D.PDF

Description: For this study, daily data were collected for mortality and weather in seven California counties known to be affected by the July 2006 heat wave. The association between apparent temperature and daily mortality was assessed using a Poisson regression model and combined across counties in a meta-analysis.This multi-county analysis provides additional evidence that the risk of mortality increases with prolonged exposure to high apparent temperatures, as is common during a heat wave.

Description: This literature review explores disparities in the impacts of climate change and the abilities of different groups to adapt to it. Further, it investigates the costs and benefits of climate change mitigation strategies—some of which have been specified in the Scoping Plan for the implementation of the California Global Warming Solutions Act of 2006 (AB 32). Finally, knowledge gaps and future research questions are identified.

Description: This research measured the economic effects of climate-related yield change in California crops. The overall conclusion from model runs is that, while the effect of climate change is manifest through yield changes, after economic adaptation, the results on irrigated crop production are predominately shown in economic terms and changes in aggregate land and water use.

URL: http://www.energy.ca.gov/2009publications/CEC-500-2009-046/CEC-500-2009-046-D.PDF

Description: A study modeled future wildfires considering different climate and development scenarios. Results show a significant increase in wildfires, especially under higher emissions (SRES A2) with statewide increases ranging from 57% to 169% by 2085. The spatial patterns of increased fire occurrence vary based on the speed of vegetation shifts, with coastal areas and Northern California showing higher increases in fire area burned.

Description: Simulation models are used here to weigh competing influences that might either increase or diminish future floods. Future characteristics of major storms, in particular pineapple express or atmospheric river storms, by global climate models indicated changes mostly at the extremes. Likewise, although the average intensity of storms was not projected to increase much in most climate models, occasional much-larger-than-historical-range storm intensities were simulated.
