Effects of climate change on water availability for the Usumacinta river environmental flow (Mexico)

Rebeca González Villela Martín José Montero Martínez (2018, [Artículo])

The water availability in the Usumacinta River sub-basin is determined through the analysis of the amount and frequency of precipitation, associated with the quantity, frequency and magnitude of flow regimes (environmental flows). The river is located in south-eastern Mexico. The precipitation of pre-impact (1960–1983) and post-impact (1984–2008) periods was analysed using a climatological mesh database created by CICESE (Center of Scientific Research and Higher Education of Ensenada) cover¬ing the period 1960–2008. For the analysis of flows, the hydrometric information the IHA V7 program was used to define the main trends in the temporal variation of the daily flows of the pre and post-impact periods. A number of several factors such as: the increase in monthly precipitation in the rainy season and a decrease of the precipitation in the dry season in the post-impact period, the significant increase in the number of days with zero precipitation, the increase in the number of days a year with a greater amplitude in the maximum rainfall, a positive tendency of precipitation in rainy season and a signifi¬cant decrease in the dry season; implies that now in the wet period it rains more and in dry season it rains less, indicating that the climate is more extreme, aspects that can be associated with the effects of climate change. Also, torrential rains that can be associated to the changes in the precipitation rates are due to the effects of climatic change. The natural flow shows a slight decrease in the flow during the rainy season, or a significant decrease in the flow rates for some months in the post-impact period. This condition does not coincide with the increase in precipitation for this period and in this part of the basin, a situation that may be related to the anthropic use of the resource. The Usumacinta basin is relevant for the environmental services that it provides.

Supervivencia vial: cultura del riesgo

Gabriel Dorantes Argandar (2024, [Libro])

La cultura del riesgo es un fenómeno que engloba las razones por las cuales los seres humanos toman ciertos riesgos, la manera en cómo los hacen y las razones que tienen para hacerlos. Por ejemplo, la movilidad es uno de los grandes problemas que enfrenta la sociedad latinoamericana debido al colapso de las ciudades, a un sistema de movilidad precario y a los movimientos migratorios a gran escala. Manejar motocicletas sin protección y con exceso de pasajeros, conducir bajo los efectos del alcohol, no respetar las señales de tránsito y el uso de dispositivos electrónicos mientras se conduce son algunos de los riesgos que algunos seres humanos están dispuestos a asumir debido a las carencias económicas, sociales y políticas que viven en su cotidianeidad.

Supervivencia vial: cultura del riesgo es la tercera entrega de la serie de Supervivencia Vial, en la cual varios especialistas de la movilidad, de varios países hispanohablantes, exploran este fenómeno, sus causas y sus consecuencias. Es de suma importancia que la ciencia y el ser humano estén preparados para hacer frente a esta problemática cuya solución parece una tarea imposible.

"En los últimos 150 años se han incrementado exponencialmente las emisiones y concentraciones de gases de efecto invernadero (GEI) en la atmosfera, "a medida que la población, las economías y el nivel de vida (con el asociado incremento de consumo) crecen, también lo hace el nivel acumulado de emisiones de este tipo de gases" (ONU, 2020a), dando como resultado un aumento generalizado de la temperatura promedio global y una alteración de los procesos del sistema climático de la Tierra, lo que conocemos comúnmente como cambio climático antropogénico."

Climate change and the northern elephant seal (Mirounga angustirostris) population in Baja California, Mexico

M. Concepción García-Aguilar (2018, [Artículo])

The Earth0s climate is warming, especially in the mid- and high latitudes of the Northern Hemisphere. The northern elephant seal (Mirounga angustirostris) breeds and haul-outs on islands and the mainland of Baja California, Mexico, and California, U.S.A. At the beginning of the 21st century, numbers of elephant seals in California are increasing, but the status of Baja California populations is unknown, and some data suggest they may be decreasing. We hypothesize that the elephant seal population of Baja California is experiencing a decline because the animals are not migrating as far south due to warming sea and air temperatures. Here we assessed population trends of the Baja California population, and climate change in the region. The numbers of northern elephant seals in Baja California colonies have been decreasing since the 1990s, and both the surface waters off Baja California and the local air temperatures have warmed during the last three decades. We propose that declining population sizes may be attributable to decreased migration towards the southern portions of the range in response to the observed temperature increases. Further research is needed to confirm our hypothesis; however, if true, it would imply that elephant seal colonies of Baja California and California are not demographically isolated which would pose challenges to environmental and management policies between Mexico and the United States. © 2018 García-Aguilar et al.
