SLR and crop impacts. Application to the Improvement of discussion of post-2012 impact model framework (Project B-12) Development of (Project S-3-2 and S-4) AIM/Ecosystem (Project B-52) （３） Impact assessment considering interaction between climate change, other environmental problems, and development target. Three main research directions of AIM impact study

Impact assessment considering effects of extreme climate events • Collaborative research project with NIES/CCSR • Collaborative research project with NIES/CCSR climate modeling team from FY2004. climate modeling team from FY2004. • Backgrounds of the project • Backgrounds of the project – Extreme climate events (hot summer, heavy rain, dry spell – Extreme climate events (hot summer, heavy rain, dry spell etc.) are expected to increase in frequency and/or severity, so etc.) are expected to increase in frequency and/or severity, so the severity of their impacts will also increase. the severity of their impacts will also increase. – Availability of climate model outputs more suitable for – Availability of climate model outputs more suitable for extreme event analysis is increasing. extreme event analysis is increasing. • Research objective of the project • Research objective of the project – Validation of recent climate model ’ s ability to reproduce – Validation of recent climate model ’ s ability to reproduce frequency and magnitude of extreme events frequency and magnitude of extreme events – Refinement and development of impact assessment models – Refinement and development of impact assessment models for considering extreme events for considering extreme events – More realistic impact assessment considering extreme events – More realistic impact assessment considering extreme events
