Coral Reef Habitat Response to Climate Change Scenarios
Coral reef ecosystems are threatened by both climate change and direct anthropogenic stress. Climate change will alter the physico-chemical environment that reefs currently occupy, leaving only limited regions that are conducive to reef habitation. Identifying these regions early may aid conservation efforts and inform decisions to transplant particular coral species or groups. Here a species d...
متن کاملBeyond 'dangerous' climate change: emission scenarios for a new world.
The Copenhagen Accord reiterates the international community's commitment to 'hold the increase in global temperature below 2 degrees Celsius'. Yet its preferred focus on global emission peak dates and longer-term reduction targets, without recourse to cumulative emission budgets, belies seriously the scale and scope of mitigation necessary to meet such a commitment. Moreover, the pivotal impor...
متن کاملNew climate change scenarios
whaling in the Southern Ocean is problematic. " The Japanese are still out catching fairly significant numbers of whales, and not just minkes, though that's what they're meant to be focusing on, " he commented. " If they stuck to their targets, and did their whaling as they say they do when they're at the IWC meetings, then I think they might have a little more support. They'd also need to do t...
متن کاملGRACE, time-varying gravity, Earth system dynamics and climate change.
Continuous observations of temporal variations in the Earth's gravity field have recently become available at an unprecedented resolution of a few hundreds of kilometers. The gravity field is a product of the Earth's mass distribution, and these data-provided by the satellites of the Gravity Recovery And Climate Experiment (GRACE)-can be used to study the exchange of mass both within the Earth ...
متن کاملClimate and land use change impacts on global terrestrial ecosystems and river flows in the HadGEM2-ES Earth system model using the representative concentration pathways
A new generation of an Earth system model now includes a number of land-surface processes directly relevant to analyzing potential impacts of climate change. This model, HadGEM2-ES, allows us to assess the impacts of climate change, multiple interactions, and feedbacks as the model is run. This paper discusses the results of centuryscale HadGEM2-ES simulations from an impacts perspective – spec...
