How might land-use choices increase or decrease vulnerability of ecosystems to extreme weather events?

Human Health. Model development might focus on morbidity associated with thermal extremes; the synergistic effects of air pollution (e.g. , ozone and particulates) and heat waves on respiratory illnesses; the potential health consequences of extreme events such as storm surges, flooding, or drought associated with changes in both climate and land use; and health effects due to changes in water quality caused by climate change and land-use practices. For example, work proposed under this RFA might develop a model that can quantitatively relate housing and transportation choices, and the resulting land-use and emissions scenarios, with climate scenarios to evaluate possible effects on human health and well-being.

These models might address the following sorts of questions: How do higher temperatures influence housing and transportation decisions? What impact do these decisions have on emissions and the frequency and/or severity of health effects associated with ozone exposure? How do ... more.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
