摘要：

This talk presents perspectives on the global energy balance, greenhouse effects and examples of observed changes to the hydrosphere. Future climate scenarios projected by general circulation models (GCMs) of the 4th Assessment Report of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC, 2007), and that of the 5th Coupled Model Intercomparison Project (CMIP5) of IPCC (2013), and case studies based on regional climate models and land surface schemes will be discussed. The discussions will also include possible implications to the future global climate, hydrology, and water resources under the potential impacts of climate change. Possible implications to the future global cryosphere under the potential impact of climate change will be discussed.
