Mountain Tourism and Climate Change: Implications for the Nepal Himalaya

Mountain regions worldwide are affected by climate change. Indeed, mountains represent unique areas for the detection of climate change and the assessment of climate-related impacts (Beniston 2003; Messerli & Ives 1997). The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) has predicted dramatic impacts on mountain ecosystems as a result of climate change. Changing climates will potentially alt...

Thermal regimes of Rocky Mountain lakes warm with climate change

Anthropogenic climate change is causing a wide range of stresses in aquatic ecosystems, primarily through warming thermal conditions. Lakes, in response to these changes, are experiencing increases in both summer temperatures and ice-free days. We used continuous records of lake surface temperature and air temperature to create statistical models of daily mean lake surface temperature to assess...

Climate Change at Yucca Mountain: Lessons from Earth History

Yucca Mountain's suitability as a nuclear waste repository stems largely from its very dry climate and deep water table (Bodvarsson et al. 1999). The facility's ultimate goal is to isolate waste materials for more than ten thousand years (Whipple 1996). And there lies a crucial question: How can we tell whether the climate and hydrologic conditions at Yucca Mountain will be stable enough beyond...
