- Change on the range
08-13-2007 · EurekAlert!
Southwestern United States is known for its climate variability which has strong influences and impacts on range conditions. An experiential learning exercise was held at a meeting in January 2006 to open communication between land managers and scientists about climate and range science concepts. Participants explored potential plans for rangelands under changing climates.

- Latest <STRONG>IPCCSTRONG> report highlights need for integrated climate/human behavior models
04-06-2007 · EurekAlert!
How can humans adapt to climate change without adding even more stress to the environment? Scientists are now looking at ways to integrate the human dimension of climate change -- the choices we need to make to adapt to a changing global climate -- with the sophisticated climate prediction models used for the IPCC Assessment Reports. The goal: To evaluate the best ways forward.

- Are current projections of climate change-impacts on biodiversity misleading?
11-21-2007 · EurekAlert!
A recent study, published in Ecography, has profound implications for the future study of diversity on Earth. The article challenges the current view that patterns of current climate are sufficient to explain and predict diversity, and proposes that historical climate patterns are also of strong importance to diversity prediction.

- US Climate Change Science Program provides key contributions to <STRONG>IPCCSTRONG> fourth assessment
02-15-2007 · EurekAlert!
Research conducted by scientists funded through the U.S. Climate Change Science Program (CCSP) has helped resolve key uncertainties about the causes of global climate change and has helped refine projected future changes in temperature and sea-level rise, as published in the Working Group I contribution to the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) Fourth Assessment Report, the summary of which was issued Feb. 2, 2007.

- Deep in arctic mud, geologists find strong evidence of climate change
01-18-2007 · EurekAlert!
How severe will global warming get? Jason P. Briner is looking for an answer buried deep in mud dozens of feet below the surface of lakes in the frigid Canadian Arctic. His group is gathering the first quantitative temperature data over the last millennium from areas in extreme northeastern sections of the Canadian Arctic, such as Baffin Island.

- Stanford researchers say climate change will significantly increase impending bird extinctions
12-05-2007 · EurekAlert!
Where do you go when you've reached the top of a mountain and you can't go back down? It's a question increasingly relevant to plants and animals, as their habitats slowly shift to higher elevations, driven by rising temperatures worldwide. In one of the first analyses of extinction rates to incorporate the most recent climate change scenarios set forth in the IPCC 2007 reports, Stanford researchers say that by 2100 up to 30 percent of land-bird species may be extinct.

- AGU revises position on climate change
01-25-2008 · EurekAlert!
A statement newly released by the world's largest scientific society of Earth and space scientists -- the American Geophysical Union, or AGU -- updates the organization's position on climate change: the evidence for it, potential consequences from it, and how to respond to it. The statement is the first revision since 2003 of the climate-change position of the AGU, which has a membership of 50,000 researchers, teachers, and students in 137 countries.
