متن کاملResponse of ocean ecosystems to climate warming
[1] We examine six different coupled climate model simulations to determine the ocean biological response to climate warming between the beginning of the industrial revolution and 2050. We use vertical velocity, maximum winter mixed layer depth, and sea ice cover to define six biomes. Climate warming leads to a contraction of the highly productive marginal sea ice biome by 42% in the Northern H...
متن کاملImpacts of Climate Change on Coastal Erosion and Flood Probability in the Us Pacific Northwest
A simple total water level (TWL) model is employed to investigate the relative importance of various climate controls on the potential for an increased probability of coastal erosion and flooding on sandy beaches of the US Pacific Northwest. Model results suggest that if decadal-scale increases in storm intensity (wave height) continue into the future, this process will have a greater impact on...
متن کاملCoastal Erosion Due to Seawater Intrusion into Groundwater Aquifers
Problem Statement: In general, the drinking water systems sourced from ground water (GW) contains chemicals at double the current maximum contaminant levels (MCL) of colloids. However, due to increasing demand of water, groundwater may be subjected to over-exploitation and the natural equilibrium is thus disturbed. A steady-state condition is established between seawater and freshwater in a coa...
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...
