Climate and weather extremes are sporadically recurring events that may have major local
or regional impacts on the society and the environment. These events are typically related to …

Salmon life histories are finely tuned to local environmental conditions, which are intimately
linked to climate. We summarize the likely impacts of climate change on the physical …

This study illustrates a methodology to assess the economic impacts of climate change at a
city scale and benefits of adaptation, taking the case of sea level rise and storm surge risk in …

Mountain ranges, deserts, ice fields and oceans generally act as barriers to the movement of
land-dependent animals, often profoundly shaping migration routes. We used satellite …

Tide gauges show that global sea level has risen about 7 inches during the 20th century,
and recent satellite data show that the rate of sea-level rise is accelerating. As Earth warms …

We estimate future wildfire activity over the western United States during the mid-21st
century (2046–2065), based on results from 15 climate models following the A1B scenario …

We develop a conceptual model of the closely co-dependent Bering shelf, Bering Strait, and
Chukchi shelf circulation fields by evaluating the effects of wind stress over the North Pacific …

Winter storm-track activity over the Northern Hemisphere and its changes in a greenhouse
gas scenario (the Special Report on Emission Scenarios A1B forcing) are computed from an …

Climate change projections for the Pacific Northwest (PNW) region of North America include
warmer temperatures (T), reduced precipitation (P) in summer months, and increased P …
