What was striking to the outside observer in these events was that the inevitable interdisciplinary conversations dealt primarily with the transformations of traditional patterns of life — transformations that seem to some so glacially slow that everything should be done to speed them up, and to others so incredibly rapid that people and morality were getting lost in the swirl of change.

During the first six months of life, explains Michael Goodstein, neonatologist and director of the York County Cribs for Kids Program at York Hospital in York, PA, a baby experiences rapid brain growth and developmental changes that affect sleep patterns, cardiorespiratory control, metabolism, and physical ability.

The pattern of rapid human colonisation through the Americas, coinciding with contrasting temperature trends in each continent, allowed the researchers to disentangle the relative impact of human arrival and climate change.

The fast fMRI was able to detect the subtle and very rapid oscillations in cerebral blood flow in the brain's visual cortex as the volunteers observed the changing pattern.

We were particularly interested in the nature of this relationship because of the hypothesized seasonal movement of krill to inshore waters around the Antarctic Peninsula in winter, rapid changes in the climate and sea ice patterns of the Antarctic peninsula [15], [16] and the known relationships between baleen whales and krill.

Plant from multiple species, seed sources, and climate zones, particularly from locally - adapted sources Manage to maintain genetic diversity and phenotypic plasticity Create opportunities for rapid natural selection for species with high predicted potential for adverse impacts from climate change (Sturrock et al. 2011; Erickson et al. 2012; Alfaro et al. 2014; FAO 2014) Plant drought tolerant and native species Retain diversity of species and promote legacy trees Manage or restore mosaic (variable pattern of species and ages) and maintain or improve landscape connectivity Plant in asynchronous rotations and manage for diverse age classes Thin, plant, and use prescribed fire to favor species adapted to disturbance (Millar et al. 2007; Vose et al. 2016; Keane et al. forthcoming)

Balance exercises may require cats to respond to rapid changes in a supporting surface (e.g., wobble cushion, balance pad, trampoline) or changes of direction.1 Proprioception exercises may include weight shifting or walking in patterns or over uneven surfaces1 (FIGURES 3 and 4).

Other likely consequences (e.g. rapid dynamical sea level changes, shift in the inter-tropical convergence zone and hence tropical precipitation patterns) are discussed in the Rahmstorf and Zickfeld editorial essay mentioned above, and the references therein.

There has been an ongoing debate, both in and outside the scientific community, whether rapid climate change in the Arctic might affect circulation patterns in the mid-latitudes, and thereby possibly the frequency or intensity of extreme weather events.

That bold statement may seem like hyperbole, but there is now a very clear pattern in the scientific evidence documenting that the earth is warming, that warming is due largely to human activity, that warming is causing important changes in climate, and that rapid and potentially catastrophic changes in the near future are very possible.

UR, I would be very interested in examining any of your evidence for (a) rapid climate change (weather patterns over a min of 30 years, WMO definition) because I couldn't find any after three ebooks and 6 years of research), and more importantly, (b) any that are likely mainly anthropogenic.

«At the end of the last ice age around 11,000 years ago, the ice sheet went through a period of rapid, sustained ice loss when changes in global weather patterns and rising sea levels pushed warm water closer to the ice sheet — just as is happening today,» NASA said.

The supposed stable configuration of geography, with relatively predictable climate patterns, coastlines and icepacks in familiar locations, and clear demarcations of territorial control on land are increasingly dubious assumptions as weather patterns change, sea levels rise and ice packs disintegrate while technological innovations, communications and global markets cause rapid fluctuations in the price in food and other essentials across boundaries.

Once this La Nina faded, sea levels rebounded sharply, and that rise might have been incorrectly interpreted as some rapid acceleration in the long - term sea level rise, when in fact, mass was shifting back from land to ocean as rainfall patterns changed once more, but also much of the excess water on the land was draining back to the oceans.

In contrast, 2008 SLP patterns changed, with offshore flow from Alaska — opening up the Beaufort Sea — during early summer, rapidly shifting to offshore flow from Siberia in early August, initiating rapid melt in that sector (Fig. 3In contrast, 2008 SLP patterns changed, with offshore flow from Alaska — opening up the Beaufort Sea — during early summer, rapidly shifting to offshore flow from Siberia in early August, initiating rapid melt in that sector (Fig. 3in early August, initiating rapid melt in that sector (Fig. 3in that sector (Fig. 3).

The expected response to a step increase in CO2 is to move from the relatively stable Holocene climate through a period of rapid (in geological terms) change to a new, relatively stable climate with a higher overall temperature and somewhat different circulation and rainfall patterns.

For example, a relatively slow shift in the distribution of precipitation could give rise to relatively rapid changes in precipitation patterns in regions that lie at the interface of dry and rainy regions (see Figure 2.8), potentially altering a location's local climate with possible ramifications to water supplies and / or agriculture for example.

The study, published Sunday in the journal Nature Climate Change, is the first to find correlations between rapid Arctic warming and extreme summer weather events, since previous research had focused on the links between Arctic warming and fall and winter weather patterns.

Such weather patterns, which can feature relatively mild conditions in the Arctic at the same time dangerously cold conditions exist in vast parts of the lower 48, may be tied to the rapid warming and loss of sea ice in the Arctic due, in part, to manmade climate change.

The models (and there are many) have numerous common behaviours — they all cool following a big volcanic eruption, like that at Mount Pinatubo in 1991; they all warm as levels of greenhouse gases are increased; they show the same relationships connecting water vapour and temperature that we see in observations; and they can quantify how the giant lakes left over from the Ice Age may have caused a rapid cooling across the North Atlantic as they drained and changed ocean circulation patterns.

People who are depressed tend to ruminate on their problems (sometimes on the depression itself), they feel bad most of the day, lose interest in activities they used to enjoy, have a rapid change in sleep patterns, lose or gain weight suddenly without trying, have trouble concentrating, and can be preoccupied with thoughts of death or suicide.
