Concepts

Future climate scenarios based on different greenhouse gas emission pathways, specifically RCP 4.5 and RCP 8.5 scenarios

Process of using large-scale climate model outputs to generate local or regional scale climate projections

The most recent time during the last glacial period when ice sheets were at their greatest extent

The difference between the amount of moisture in the air and how much moisture the air can hold when it is saturated, indicating evaporative demand
