Sentences with phrase «historical climate change»

We have already started a project aiming to study how lake ecosystems are affected by historical climate changes.

Developed and developing world responsibilities for historical climate change and CO2 mitigation

While the record 13.9 foot storm tide in New York Harbor during Superstorm Sandy was primarily due to the coincidence of the strongest winds with high tide, sea - level rise driven by historical climate change added more than one foot to that total.

Because of this, scientists believe it is important to see how historical climate changes documented in one part of the globe, like the north Atlantic, play out in that region.

Professor Chris Thomas, also at the University's Department of Biology, said: «We found that methods relying on historical climate change trends from the 1970s to today identified high risk species that have consistently declining populations over time.

To put that in perspective, we're currently warming around 0.2 C / decade, which far surpasses historical climate changes like the Ice Ages.

Risk analyses given in some recent studies suggest that there is no longer high confidence that certain large - scale events (e.g., deglaciation of major ice sheets) can be avoided, given historical climate change and the inertia of the climate system (Wigley, 2004, 2006; Rahmstorf and Zickfeld, 2005).

The carbon in layers of algae from the bottom of a Japanese lake will help reveal the precise dates of historical climate change and human migrations

While the record 13.9 foot storm tide in New York Harbor during Superstorm Sandy was primarily due to the coincidence of the strongest winds with high tide, sea - level rise driven by historical climate change added more than one foot to that total.

The variables which determine climate are numerous and the interactions complex, but there is general agreement that the broad outlines are understood, at least in so far as the determinants of historical climate change are concerned.

Volcanism is another key driver of historical climate changes, and we have compared the modeled response to large volcanic eruptions with historical data as well.

Researchers from the Alfred Wegener Institute's Helmholtz Centre for Polar and Marine Research, Bremerhaven, the University of Bremen, Germany, and the University of Cardiff in the UK, report in Nature journal that they have made climate simulations that agree with observations of historical climate change that date back 800,000 years.

As a result, hypotheses relating human activity to historical climate change have yet to be tested rigorously under the full range of plausible historical conditions (4, 24).

Many climate - related studies, such as detection and attribution of historical climate change, projections of future climate and environments, and adaptation to future climate change, heavily rely on the performance of climate models.

The proprietors are a bit puzzled, because they saw Ana Ravelo give a very similar presentation: — RRB - It was what I was referring to when I mentioned «a rather silly presentation on «changing climate sensitivity» which IMO just pointed to the inappropriateness of trying to analyse all historical climate changes as if they were a response to an imposed CO2 forcing, which of course they were not.»
