Abstract

Artificial Intelligence and Image Processing

climate change

impact

vulnerability

assessment

integration

geographic information system

Understanding the socio-economic implications of climate change at the regional level requires integrating information regarding climatic hazards with information regarding environmental, social, and economic systems that are exposed to those hazards. Achieving such spatial integration is nontrivial due to issues of data availability, compatibility and scale. Here, we examine two different approaches, one 'vulnerability-based' and one 'impact-based', from ongoing regional integrated assessment projects in Australia.
