TL;DR: The effect of climate change on the frequency and intensity of droughts across the contiguous United States over the next century is assessed by applying Standardized Precipitation Indices and the Palmer Drought Severity Index to the full suite of 22 Global Climate Change General Circulation Models for three IPCC-SRES emissions scenarios (B1, A1B, and A2) listed in order of their emissions through 2100 from high to low) as mentioned in this paper.

TL;DR: In this article, a K-nearest neighbor (K-nn) resampling scheme is presented that simulates daily weather variables, and consequently seasonal climate and spatial and temporal dependencies, at multiple stations in a given region.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors report on the projected cost of Alaska public infrastructure at risk from rapid climate change and conclude that climate change could add $3.6-$6.1 billion (+10% to +20% above normal wear and tear) to future costs for public infrastructure.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors examined the implications of changes in crop water demand and water availability for the reliability of irrigation, taking into account changes in competing municipal and industrial demands, and explored the effectiveness of adaptation options in maintaining reliability.
