«The event provided a platform for S&T Policy Fellows to apply skills in communicating succinctly and effectively to diverse audiences — a vital skill for making an impact in science policy,» said Cynthia Robinson, director of the S&T Policy Fellowships Program, which places scientists and engineers from a range of sectors in federal government assignments to learn about policymaking.

«Rather than trying to assess the probability of an extreme event occurring, a group of researchers suggest viewing the event as a given and assessing to which degree changes in the thermodynamic state (which we know has been influenced by climate change) altered the severity of the impact of the event,» notes Dorit Hammerling, section leader for statistics and data science at the Institute for Mathematics Applied to Geosciences, National Center for Atmospheric Research.

The event had a significant impact on the biodiversity of local fish populations, which changed substantially when reefs did not recover.

Connecting extreme weather to climate change distracts from the need to protect society from high - impact weather events which will continue to happen irrespective of human - induced climate change, say experts.

To mitigate the impact of future smoke events, the team developed a model framework which could help governments and policymakers in Southeast Asia identify, in almost real time, the fires with the highest potential to cause damage to human health.

Human - induced climate change, which affects temperature, precipitation and the nature of extreme events, is increasingly driving biodiversity loss and the reduction of nature's contributions to people, worsening the impact of habitat degradation, pollution, invasive species and the overexploitation of natural resources.»

The team of researchers, which also included David Evans of the Royal Ontario Museum and the University of Toronto and Caleb Brown of the Royal Tyrrell Museum of Paleontology, began by investigating whether the extinction at the end of the Cretaceous was an abrupt event or a progressive decline simply capped off by the meteor impact.

Shermer's article is a shallow and tendentious treatment of a complex subject that does not take proper account of rebuttals to critical attacks on the Younger Dryas impact hypothesis, in which a comet strike more than 12,000 years ago caused the megafaunal extinction in North America, and misrepresents the state of the argument around my theory that this event wiped out an advanced human society as well.

It's unclear whether this year's strong El Niño event, which is a naturally occurring phenomenon that typically occurs every two to seven years where the surface water of the eastern equatorial Pacific Ocean warms, has had any impact on the Arctic sea ice minimum extent.

The date of the impact, estimated at slightly less than 66 million years ago, converges with the hypothesis that worldwide climate disruption in this period caused a mass extinction event in which 75 % of plant and animal species on Earth suddenly became extinct, including all non-avian dinosaurs.

«There are characteristic patterns of increase and decrease, for example, in response to an El Nino event,» which is a cyclical climate event marked by warming waters in the western Pacific Ocean that has global impacts, Zwiers says.

However, scientists say it is important to study the PETM because it is perhaps the best past event by which to understand the potential impacts of global climate warming seen today.

Asteroid impacts that cause global catastrophe are climate - changing events, and most of the resulting fatalities would be due to that change (which would cause social disruption that is expected to lead to starvation, disease and violence).

For instance, the famous K - T event or K - T boundary, which marked the end of the Cretaceous period 65 million years ago, features a global layer of the element iridium in rock, the signature of a major asteroid impact.

The main objectives of the mission include obtaining new data on solar activity to help to better forecast space - weather events like solar flares which can directly impact Earth and orbiting satellites, trace the flow of energy from the Sun, better understand how the Sun's outer atmosphere is heated, and explore the physical mechanisms which accelerate the solar wind.

That's one area of research that we are working on currently which has a really big impact on extreme weather events and it's this kind of phenomena that we need to understand much better.
