摘要:Baia Mare Depression is an inter-hilly depression located in the north-western part of Romania bounded by mountain and hilly areas. Its position has granted it with specific environmental features which had exposed it to several climatic hazards while the historical industrial profile of the area (non-ferrous mining and metallurgical industry) and the related emissions (CO2 , SOX, particulate matters and Pb) might still pose threats to the environment and human health. The article proposes a methodology for producing multi-hazard climate information (layers) and designing communication products (hazard maps) on extreme weather phenomena, to be used by relevant stakeholders at local level. The scientific method relies on the occurrence, frequency, and amplitude of the foremost extreme weather phenomena (snow cover, glazed frost, fog, heavy rainfall, strong winds) based on monthly and daily extreme climatic values from several weather stations. The stakeholder’s interaction through focus groups meetings and cross analysis validated the resulted maps. The main findings of the current study are the assessment, and spatial (visual) representation of the climate hazards the study area is exposed to as key step in supporting adaptation strategies and increasing resilience at regional and local levels.
