POLICY FORUM Uncertainties in Projections of Human-Caused Climate Warming
Mankind's actix~itieshave increased carbon dioxide (CO?) in the atmosphere. This increase has the potential to warm the earth's climate by the "greenhouse effect" ( 1 ) in which COz ahsorbs infrared radiation and then re-radiates it back toward the surface of the planet. Other gases also act as greenhouse gases and may warm the climate ex7en further (Z),although human-produced airborne sulfate ...

متن کاملHeat-Related Mortality in a Warming Climate: Projections for 12 U.S. Cities
Heat is among the deadliest weather-related phenomena in the United States, and the number of heat-related deaths may increase under a changing climate, particularly in urban areas. Regional adaptation planning is unfortunately often limited by the lack of quantitative information on potential future health responses. This study presents an assessment of the future impacts of climate change on ...
متن کاملToward a Predictive Model of Arctic Coastal Retreat in a Warming Climate, Beaufort Sea, Alaska
The long-term goal of this project is to quantify the environmental drivers of extremely rapid coastal erosion in the Arctic, and to begin developing predictive models of future rates of coastal erosion resulting from climate change. Our study is focused on the Beaufort Sea coast within the National Petroleum Reserve – Alaska (NPR-A), approximately halfway between Barrow and Prudhoe Bay. We are...
متن کاملPermafrost Degradation and Ecological Changes Associated with a Warming Climate in Central Alaska
Studies from 1994–1998 on the Tanana Flats in central Alaska reveal that permafrost degradation is widespread and rapid, causing large shifts in ecosystems from birch forests to fens and bogs. Fine-grained soils under the birch forest are ice-rich and thaw settlement typically is 1– 2.5 m after the permafrost thaws. The collapsed areas are rapidly colonized by aquatic herbaceous plants, leading...
