Little auks buffer the impact of current Arctic climate change
Climate models predict a multi-degree warming of the North Atlantic in the 21st century. A research priority is to understand the effect of such changes upon marine organisms. With 40 to 80 million individuals, planktivorous little auks Alle alle are an essential component of pelagic food webs in this region that is potentially highly susceptible to climatic effects. Using an integrative study ...
متن کاملClimate change and possible impact on Arctic infrastructure
There are increased concerns related to the impact of a possible global climatic change on Arctic infrastructure. Especially important is how the climatic scenarios may change (increase) the environmental loads the structures are designed for. This may cause increased risk of damage to infrastructure and threat to human lives. In addition, future infrastructure design in the Arctic may be direc...
متن کاملPredicting the impact of climate change on the distribution of Pistacia atlantica in the Central Zagros
Predicting the potential distribution of plants in response to climate change is essential for their conservation and management. This study aimed at predicting the effect of climate change on the geographical distribution of Pistacia atlantica in Chaharmahal & Bakhtiari province in the central Zagros region. In this study, we used 19 Bioclimatic variables derived from rainfall and temperature ...
متن کاملClimate change poses health threats in Arctic.
sea ice open new corridors into previously remote communities in the Arctic, residents can expect a wave of social ills and the introduction of diseases that may be as devastating as the Spanish flu was to those living in the North in the early 1990s, experts say. “A second wave of tumultuous change” is threatening Inuit health, says Sheila Watt-Cloutier, Inuit activist, former international ch...
متن کاملAssessment of the Impact of Climate Change on the Analysis of Dry Period Length
Climate change, with effects on temperature and rainfall, has a great influence on dry period. Therefore, it is very important to study this phenomenon in the analysis of dry period length. In this study, we used GFDL-ESM2M and four RCP scenarios to simulate precipitation, maximum and minimum temperature and used CCT with statistical methods to downscale the results. The data used in this study...
