An investment strategist recently published, in the journal Nature, an impassioned plea to all scientists that they must begin to speak out on the resource crisis exacerbated by global warming. In this Editorial response, the author reminds health professionals that they can no longer stay silent and pander to the ignorance of others, and challenges them, along with multidisciplinary partners a...

As part of the Western Arctic Linkage Experiment (WALE), simulations of carbon dynamics in the western Arctic (WALE region) were conducted during two recent decades by driving the Terrestrial Ecosystem Model (TEM) with three alternative climate datasets. Among the three TEM * Corresponding author address: A. David McGuire, U.S. Geological Survey, Alaska Cooperative Fish and Wildlife Research Un...

76 JOURNAL OF NATURAL RESOURCES & LIFE SCIENCES EDUCATION VOLUME 36 2007 A working knowledge of climatic patterns and processes is an important tool for range managers in the southwestern United States. High variability in temperature and precipitation patterns require that climatic conditions be considered when implementing best management practices. It is widely accepted that the earth’s clim...

Coastal regions are of much importance to human socio-economic activities. As a result much of the world’s population live along, or within 150 km of, coasts. Increasing coastal populations, especially in Small Island Developing States (SIDS), are on a collision course with climate change. Climate change is now considered a very real international threat. Sea level rise and other climate change...

Analysis and simulation of biospheric responses to historical forcing require surface climate data that capture those aspects of climate that control ecological processes, including key spatial gradients and modes of temporal variability. We developed a multivariate, gridded historical climate dataset for the conterminous USA as a common input database for the Vegetation/Ecosystem Modeling and ...
