This book was released on 2015 with total page 37 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Climate change is impacting aquatic ecosystems in the Great Lakes Basin (GLB). Surface water temperatures of the Great Lakes, inland lakes and streams are on the rise, water levels are in decline, and the composition of plant and animal communities in wetlands are changing. The objectives of this study were to assess the vulnerability of different indicators; wetland vulnerability to drying, wetland bird species habitat, stream temperatures, stream thermal habitat, inland lake surface temperatures, and walleye biomass, to inform the development of a climate change adaptation strategy for aquatic ecosystems within the GLB of Ontario. Climate models forecast a 4 to 6 degrees C warming of mean annual air temperatures and regional changes in precipitation by the end of the century."--Summary.

Book Synopsis Climatic Change and Global Warming of Inland Waters by : Charles R. Goldman
Download or read book Climatic Change and Global Warming of Inland Waters written by Charles R. Goldman and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2012-11-20 with total page 481 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Effects of global warming on the physical, chemical, ecological structure and function and biodiversity of freshwater ecosystems are not well understood and there are many opinions on how to adapt aquatic environments to global warming in order to minimize the negative effects of climate change. Climatic Change and Global Warming of Inland Waters presents a synthesis of the latest research on a whole range of inland water habitats – lakes, running water, wetlands – and offers novel and timely suggestions for future research, monitoring and adaptation strategies. A global approach, offered in this book, encompasses systems from the arctic to the Antarctic, including warm-water systems in the tropics and subtropics and presents a unique and useful source for all those looking for contemporary case studies and presentation of the latest research findings and discussion of mitigation and adaptation throughout the world. Edited by three of the leading limnologists in the field this book represents the latest developments with a focus not only on the impact of climate change on freshwater ecosystems but also offers a framework and suggestions for future management strategies and how these can be implemented in the future. Limnologists, Climate change biologists, fresh water ecologists, palaeoclimatologists and students taking relevant courses within the earth and environmental sciences will find this book invaluable. The book will also be of interest to planners, catchment managers and engineers looking for solutions to broader environmental problems but who need to consider freshwater ecology.

Download or read book Great Lakes-St. Lawrence Basin Project on Adapting to the Impacts of Climate Change and Variability written by Linda D. Mortsch and published by . This book was released on 1996 with total page 190 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There still is much uncertainty about the timing, the rate and the magnitude of climate change in the Great Lakes-St. Lawrence Basin (GLSLB); yet concern for potential impacts remains. The GLSLB contains 20 percent of the world's fresh water and is home to over 42.5 million people. It is a region rich in human and natural resources, with diverse economic activities and complex infrastructures. Significant economic restructuring and environmental changes are underway. Governments, industries and other Basin interests will have the added complication of managing the multiple activities within the Basin under the exacerbating conditions of potential climate change. This challenge must be addressed: first through research, and then by applying the research to all levels of management within the Basin.
Book Synopsis Risk-based Assessment of Climate Change Impacts and Risks on the Biological Systems and Infrastructure Within Fisheries and Oceans Canada's Mandate - Freshwater Large Aquatic Basin by :
Download or read book Risk-based Assessment of Climate Change Impacts and Risks on the Biological Systems and Infrastructure Within Fisheries and Oceans Canada's Mandate - Freshwater Large Aquatic Basin written by and published by . This book was released on 2013 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: To tackle the primary objective of the Program, an assessment of the risks that climate change poses to the delivery of DFO's mandate across the diverse aquatic ecosystems of Canada were performed. [...] This work follows two internal DFO climate change national risk assessment reports (Interis 2005, 2012) which provided a preliminary assessment of the impacts of climate change to the Department's strategic priorities, and focused these national evaluations of risks down to the scale of each of the large aquatic basins. [...] The evaluation of risk described here addresses the whole of the large Freshwater LAB and the resulting science advice is based on the integration of information from all of the sub-basins. [...] Fisheries and Oceans Canada delivers science to support its mandate through the Great Lakes Laboratory for Fisheries and Aquatic Sciences (GLLFAS), the Freshwater Institute and the Environmental Science Division (ESD) of the Science Sector of the Central and Arctic Region (C&A). [...] Several of the main risk drivers, consequences, opportunities and gaps were common to Risks 1, 2 and 3. Risk drivers and consequences were considered independently and are not presented in the tables with a direct linkage between the main risk drivers listed on the left side of the table and the lists of potential consequences on the right side.
Book Synopsis Climate Change Impacts on Freshwater Ecosystems by : Martin Kernan
Download or read book Climate Change Impacts on Freshwater Ecosystems written by Martin Kernan and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2011-02-14 with total page 470 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This text examines the impact of climate change on freshwater ecosystems, past, present and future. It especially considers the interactions between climate change and other drivers of change including hydromorphological modification, nutrient loading, acid deposition and contamination by toxic substances using evidence from palaeolimnology, time-series analysis, space-for-time substitution, laboratory and field experiments and process modelling. The book evaluates these processes in relation to extreme events, seasonal changes in ecosystems, trends over decadal-scale time periods, mitigation strategies and ecosystem recovery. The book is also concerned with how aspects of hydrophysical, hydrochemical and ecological change can be used as early indicators of climate change in aquatic ecosystems and it addresses the implications of future climate change for freshwater ecosystem management at the catchment scale. This is an ideal book for the scientific research community, but is also accessible to Masters and senior undergraduate students.

Download or read book Climate Change written by Chip Fletcher and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2018-10-30 with total page 352 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book introduces climate change fundamentals and essential concepts that reveal the extent of the damage, the impacts felt around the globe, and the innovation and leadership it will take to bring an end to the status quo. Emphasizing peer-reviewed literature, this text details the impact of climate change on land and sea, the water cycle, human communities, the weather, and humanity’s collective future. Coverage of greenhouse gases, oceanic and atmospheric processes, Pleistocene and Holocene paleoclimate, sea levels, and other fundamental topics provide a deep understanding of key mechanisms, while discussion of extreme weather, economic impacts, and resource scarcity reveals how climate change is already impacting people’s lives—and will continue to do so at an increasing rate for the foreseeable future.
Book Synopsis Great Lakes Climate Change Hydrologic Impact Assessment by : Thomas E. Croley
Download or read book Great Lakes Climate Change Hydrologic Impact Assessment written by Thomas E. Croley and published by . This book was released on 2003 with total page 77 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This report provides background on earlier Great Lakes climate change impact studies, describes the Great Lakes and their climate, presents hydrological models used in assessing climate change, and summarizes results. Detailed time series of net basin supplies to all of the Great Lakes are available for an unchanged climate scenario and four GCM-generated changed-climate scenarios. The higher air temperatures under the changed-climate scenarios lead to higher over-land evapotranspiration and lower runoff to the lakes with earlier runoff peaks since snow pack is reduced and the snow season is greatly reduced. This also results in a reduction in available soil moisture. Water temperatures increase and peak earlier; heat resident in the deep lakes increases throughout the year. Mixing of the water column diminishes, as most of the lakes become mostly monomictic, and lake evaporation increases. Ice formation is greatly reduced over winter on the deep Great Lakes, and lake evaporation increases; average net supplies drop most where precipitation increases are modest"--from Abstract.

Book Synopsis Wildlife Vulnerability to Climate Change by : Aaron A. Walpole
Download or read book Wildlife Vulnerability to Climate Change written by Aaron A. Walpole and published by . This book was released on 2011 with total page 15 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this report, the authors document the development and application of a vulnerability assessment that can be used with other tools and techniques to assess wildlife vulnerabilities to climate change and inform an adaptive strategic planning process. The authors selected four wildlife indicators to assess the ecological condition of the Lake Simcoe Watershed and to identify potential vulnerabilities to climate change and land use practices. The four indicators are avian guild species richness, anuran calling and breeding phenology, mammal species richness, and landscape fragmentation. These indicators were selected because they describe local biodiversity, community and range boundary dynamics, population size, and landscape fragmentation all of which are affected by or interact with climate to influence wildlife populations.--Document.
