Redistribution of snowmelt dependence and risks through international trade

Nature Climate Change volume 12, pages 977–978 (2022)Cite this article

Subjects

The global redistribution of agricultural snowmelt dependence and risks was characterized by integrating sub-annual irrigation water demand with snowmelt runoff dynamics and an international trade model. This analysis highlights the global implications of the risks related to changes in snowmelt under climate change, indicating the wider importance of climate adaptation strategies.
