Liu, K., Wang, Q., Wang, M. et al. Global transportation infrastructure exposure to the change of precipitation in a warmer world. Nat Commun
Objective:
- Analyse future changes in the global exposure of roads and railways to precipitation in a warmer world using multi-model projections
Case:
- Global countries, grid
Methodology:
- Simulation
Data Source
- CMIP: climate
- OSM
Findings:
- 91.7-94.6% of the global land mass may experience decreasing return periods as a result of global warming
- Nearly 88.4-94.6% of global transportation assets will become shorter
