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...
متن کاملNatural solutions to climate change
Fifty years ago, humans harboured the hubristic idea that they could alter the weather and climate to their advantage, perhaps to prevent future ice ages or to induce rainfall in drought-stricken regions. these high-flying hopes were eventually doused by reality; today, we have the more humble objective of merely keeping the climate stable—in particular, mitigating the impact of greenhouse gase...
متن کاملAdapting California’s Ecosystems to a Changing Climate
Significant efforts are underway to translate improved understanding of how climate change is altering ecosystems into practical actions for sustaining ecosystem functions and benefits. We explore this transition in California, where adaptation and mitigation are advancing relatively rapidly, through four case studies that span large spatial domains and encompass diverse ecological systems, ins...
متن کاملFootprints of climate in groundwater and precipitation
In the last decades, the 18O/16O signature of meteoric water became a key tracer intensively used both in hydrology and in paleoclimatology, based primarily on the correlation of the 18O/16O ratio in precipitation with temperature. This correlation with temperature is generally well understood as a result of Rayleigh processes of atmospheric vapour during the formation of precipitation. The res...
متن کاملAgriculture 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...
