CLIMAS Study Predicts Rising Seas Will Affect
Major U.S. Coastal Cities by 2100
According to new research led by Local weather Assessment for the Southwest (CLIMAS) researchers at the University of Arizona, rising sea levels could threaten an average of 9 percent of the land within 180 U.S. coastal cities by 2100. Their recent paper in Local weather Change Letters provides the first analysis of vulnerability to sea-level rise that includes every U.S. coastal city in the lower 48 with a population of 50,office x64,000 or more. At the current rate of global warming, sea level is projected to continue rising after 2100 by as much as 1 meter per century. Impacts from sea-level rise could include erosion, temporary flooding and permanent inundation. The researchers found that the Gulf and southern Atlantic coasts could be particularly hard hit. Miami,genuine win 7 generator key, New Orleans, Tampa, Fla., and Virginia Beach, Va. could lose more than 10 percent of their land area by 2100. views?

Environment Change: Impacts, Solutions and Perceptions
Thursdays, 11:45–1:15, Mar. 24–Apr.14, Apr. 28–May 19
Learn about the scientific evidence for environment change, i.e., global warming? What are some of the anticipated impacts on civilization and the environment from this change? What are some of the mitigation and adaptation measures that can be taken to lessen those impacts? What are citizens' views on climate change and how does scientific information (or lack thereof) influence these views?

Thawing permafrost will accelerate global warming in decades to come, says new study
One- to two-thirds of Earth's permafrost will disappear by 2200, unleashing vast quantities of carbon into the atmosphere, says a study by researchers at the Cooperative Institute for Research in Environmental Sciences (CIRES) National Snow and Ice Data Center (NSIDC).
"The amount of carbon released is equivalent to half the amount of carbon that has been released into the atmosphere since the dawn of the industrial age," said NSIDC scientist Kevin Schaefer. "That is a lot of carbon."

NOAA Environment Monitoring Summit
In October 2010,office 2010 64bit sale, NOAA hosted its first Local weather Monitoring Summit which brought together 50 scientists from across NOAA and its partners to discuss evolving NOAA's climate monitoring activities. The group defined 'climate monitoring' and is producing an inventory of NOAA's local weather monitoring portfolio. There was consensus that an integrated approach to local weather monitoring will help improve our understanding of local weather variability and change. The Summit was a key first step toward better integration. Future meetings will focus on using external partnerships to improve efficiency and effectiveness.

Tropical Atlantic sees weaker trade winds and more rainfall
Earth's global temperature has been rising gradually over the last decades, but the warming has not been the same everywhere. Scientists are therefore trying to pin down how the warming has affected regional climates because that is what really matters to people, and to adaptation and mitigation strategies. Their efforts,discount office 2010 32 bit, however,office 2007 Enterprise upgrade key, had hit a roadblock because the necessary observations of the winds over the oceans were biased.
