Sentences with phrase «natural temporal variations»

Instead, they reflect a propensity for natural temporal variations in uplift rates where recent (not more than 10,000 years ago) uplift has been greatest due to temporal clustering of large - magnitude (bigger than M7) earthquakes on upper - plate faults.

Not exact matches

Monitoring, understanding, and predicting oceanic variations associated with natural climate variability and human - induced changes, and assessing the related roles of the ocean on multiple spatial - temporal scales.

Natural spatial and temporal variability in the pH / pCO2 conditions experienced by marine populations provide the potential for different levels of adaptation (genetic) and acclimatization (phenotypic) to decreased pH and elevated pCO2, emphasizing the importance of understanding physiological variation existing along natural environmental gradients (macrophysiology) in understanding global change impactNatural spatial and temporal variability in the pH / pCO2 conditions experienced by marine populations provide the potential for different levels of adaptation (genetic) and acclimatization (phenotypic) to decreased pH and elevated pCO2, emphasizing the importance of understanding physiological variation existing along natural environmental gradients (macrophysiology) in understanding global change impactnatural environmental gradients (macrophysiology) in understanding global change impacts [29].

Indeed, the way in which climatic forcing is expressed in natural systems is not universal, with both spatial (local, regional and latitudinal) and temporal (periodic pulses and seasonal cycles) variations in pH and temperature that are sufficient to affect the direction (positive through to negative) and severity of effect depending on timing and context [110].

Owing to the natural spatio - temporal variation in pH, temperature and carbonate conditions and differences in ocean circulation, the rate of acidification and warming differs locally and regionally [7,23,24].
