Paul Suckow

The document discusses the impacts of climate change on Houston, Texas and outlines several adaptation strategies. It notes that sea level rise from melting ice caps could submerge much of the Houston area by 2100. Adaptation strategies proposed include restricting new development and infrastructure to areas above 110 feet in elevation, transitioning coastal areas to wetlands, and moving to renewable energy sources and public transportation.

A Change of Climate: Houston, Texas and Adaptation Planning Paul Martin Suckow Barbara Jordan-Mickey Leland School of Public Affairs Urban Planning and Environmental Policy Ph.D. Program TSU Research Day, April, 2007
Abrupt climate change More heat in atmosphere, More humidity, drier land , greater floods, Gulf Stream slowing, Climate zones advancing northward, Greatest changes always in past 5 years.
Uncertainty not “if” but “how bad?” Approximate heat imbalance at Earth’s surface: +2 W/Sq M.

Abrupt climate change actors ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],Ice and snow cover reflect back to space 90% of the radiation received. Sea and land surfaces absorb 90% of solar irradiation.

Abrupt climate change actors ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],On average, climate zones and the biological niches they harbor are moving about 100 feet northward per year already, with greater change inevitable over the next century.
