BINCOR: An r package for estimating the correlation between two unevenly spaced time series

Polanco-Martinez, J.M.; Medina-Elizalde, M.A.; Sanchez, Goni, M.F.; Mudelsee, M. (The R Foundation, 2019)

This paper presents a computational program named BINCOR (BINned CORrelation) for estimating the correlation between two unevenly spaced time series. This program is also applicable to the situation of two evenly spaced ...

Biophysical and socioeconomic state and links of deltaic areas vulnerable to climate change: Volta (Ghana), Mahanadi (India) and Ganges-Brahmaputra-Meghna (India and Bangladesh)

Cazcarro, I.; Arto, I.; Hazra, S.; Bhattacharya, R.N.; Adjei, P.O.-W.; Ofori-Danson, P.K.; Asenso, J.K.; Amponsah, S.K.; Khondker, B.; Raihan, S.; Hossen, Z. (MDPI, 2018)

We examine the similarities and differences of specific deltaic areas in parallel, under the project DEltas, vulnerability and Climate Change: Migration and Adaptation (DECCMA). The main reason for studying Deltas is their ...

Border Carbon Adjustments Based on Avoided Emissions: Addressing the Challenge of Its Design

Rocchi, P.; Serrano, M.; Roca, J.; Arto, I. (Elsevier, 2018)

Carbon pricing is an essential instrument to address climate change. However international differences in carbon control policies may cause not only carbon leakage but also competitiveness disadvantages. In this context, ...
