Climate changes brews trouble for marine life in European Seas, Marine Board-ESF report says

03-02-2007 · EurekAlert!

There is no denying that climate changes have profound impacts on the world and especially on the marine environment. Recent research has shown that the Northern Hemisphere has been warmer since 1980 than at any other time during the last two millenniums. As a result the increase in temperature under climate change was generally higher in northern than in southern European seas.

US Climate Change Science Program provides key contributions to IPCC 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.

Ancient fish bones reveal impacts of global warming beneath the sea
12-12-2007 · EurekAlert!
Through the study of archaeological material, tax accounts, church registers and account books of monasteries, an international group of fisheries ecologists and fisheries/maritime historians have drawn a picture of marine life in the northern European seas as it looked in the past. Their findings are presented in a special issue of Fisheries Research "History of Marine Animal Populations and their Exploitation in Northern Europe."

Coral reefs may be protected by natural ocean thermostat
02-07-2008 · EurekAlert!
Natural processes may prevent oceans from warming beyond a certain point, helping protect some biologically diverse coral reefs from the impacts of climate change. A new study, by scientists at NCAR and the Australian Institute of Marine Science, finds evidence that an ocean "thermostat" is helping regulate sea-surface temperatures.

Satellite data vital to UN climate findings
02-01-2007 · European Space Agency (ESA)
The most authoritative report on climate change to date will be released tomorrow in Paris, France, and is expected to warn of rising global sea levels and temperatures. Earth observation from space plays an invaluable role in helping scientists advance our understanding of climate change and capability to model its evolution.

EU aims to clean up European seas by 2021
11-17-2006 · European Space Agency (ESA)
European scientists and policy makers met at the Baltic Sea and European Marine Strategy conference in Helsinki, Finland, this week to discuss how to achieve good environmental status for European seas in the next 15 years. ESA took part by demonstrating the potential of Earth observation for monitoring and implementing marine policies.

Changes in west coast marine ecosystems significant
02-16-2007 · EurekAlert!
The California Current system has experienced significant changes during the past decade, resulting in dramatic variations in the ecosystem, characterized by shifts in phytoplankton production, expanding hypoxic zones, and the collapse of marine food webs off the western coast of the United States. These changes, driven by new wind patterns, are consistent with predictive models of global climate change.

First-ever 'State of the Carbon Cycle Report' finds troubling imbalance
11-14-2007 · EurekAlert!
The first "State of the Carbon Cycle Report" for North America, released online this week by the US Climate Change Science Program, finds the continent's carbon budget increasingly overwhelmed by human-caused emissions. North American sources release nearly 2 billion tons of carbon into the atmosphere each year, mostly as carbon dioxide. Carbon "sinks" such as growing forests may remove up to half this amount, but these current sinks may turn into new sources as climate changes.

Major study predicts grim future for Europe's seas
06-07-2007 · EurekAlert!
Their models developed during a €2.5 million EU funded research project have predicted dire consequences for the sea unless European countries take urgent action to prevent further damage from current and emerging patterns of development. The project coordinator, Professor Laurence Mee, Director of the Marine Institute at the University of Plymouth said "Europeans are just beginning to wake up to the fact that the area of their seas is bigger than the land and that it is already seriously degraded."

Marine reserves could save coral reefs
05-14-2007 · EurekAlert!
Marine reserves have already proved to be a successful way of protecting marine life against commercial fishing. Now, research published today (May 16, 2007) in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, shows for the first time how marine reserves could also help in the recovery of corals, which are already suffering the effects of climate change and over-fishing.
