Measuring and Attributing Sedimentary and Geomorphic Responses to Modern Climate Change: Challenges and Opportunities

Earth s Future, Journal Year: 2022, Volume and Issue: 10(10)

Published: Sept. 23, 2022

Abstract Today, climate change is affecting virtually all terrestrial and nearshore settings. This commentary discusses the challenges of measuring climate‐driven physical landscape responses to modern global warming: short incomplete data records, land use seismicity masking climatic effects, biases in availability resolution, signal attenuation sedimentary systems. We identify opportunities learn from historical paleo data, select especially sensitive study sites, report null results better characterize extent nuances climate‐change effects. then discuss efforts improve attribution practices, which will lead predictive capabilities. encourage Earth‐science community prioritize scientific research on changes so that societies be prepared manage effects health safety, infrastructure, water–food–energy security, economics, ecosystems follow change.

Complex relationships between climate and reproduction in a resident montane bird

Royal Society Open Science, Journal Year: 2023, Volume and Issue: 10(6)

Published: June 1, 2023

Animals use climate-related environmental cues to fine-tune breeding timing and investment match peak food availability. In birds, spring temperature is a commonly documented cue used initiate breeding, but with global climate change, organisms are experiencing both directional changes in ambient temperatures extreme year-to-year precipitation fluctuations. Montane environments exhibit complex patterns where change along elevational gradients, exacerbated annual variation has resulted swings between heavy snow drought. We 10 years of data investigate how climatic conditions associated differences phenology reproductive performance resident mountain chickadees (Poecile gambeli) at two elevations the northern Sierra Nevada mountains, USA. Variation was not across our system. Greater accumulation later initiation high, low, elevation. Brood size reduced under drought, only low Our suggest relationships avian reproduction point autumn as important for performance, likely via its effect on abundance invertebrates.
