Orchids in a changing climate

Climate Change: Bees and Orchids Lose Touch

Spring temperature increases could differentially affect flowering times and pollinator flight periods, leading to asynchrony and reduced pollination. A specialist orchid-bee study combining herbarium, museum and field data shows that bee flight dates are advancing faster than orchid flowering, which could lead to significant future uncoupling.

Agriculture in a Changing Climate

Encompassing a range of agro-ecological systems and diverse geographic and climatic contexts, the Northwest region provides a unique opportunity to test a collaborative approach to assessing and prioritizing climate change mitigation and adaptation opportunities. At a 2016 workshop titled “Agriculture in a Changing Climate”, university faculty and students, crop and livestock producers, and ind...

Changing Climate, Changing Watersheds

This spectacular “blue marble” image is the most detailed true-color image of the entire Earth to date. Using a collection of satellite-based observations, scientists and visualizers stitched together months of observations of the land surface, oceans, sea ice, and clouds into a seamless, true-color mosaic of every square kilometer (.386 square mile) of our planet. These images are freely avail...
