A Review of Climate Trends That Impact Forested Watersheds
A Review of Climate Trends That Impact Forested WatershedsNorthern Institute of Applied Climate Science
Michael Simpson (Antioch University New England, Center for Climate Preparedness and Community Resilience) presented at the Adapting Forested Watersheds to Climate Change Workshop, at Antioch University New England, Keene, NH on April 4-5, 2017. The workshop was hosted by the Northern Institute of Applied Climate Science (NIACS), USDA Climate Hubs, and Trout Unlimited. Climate Change Effects on Water Resources and Aquatic Ecosystems
Climate Change Effects on Water Resources and Aquatic EcosystemsNorthern Institute of Applied Climate Science
This document discusses the complex interactions between climate change, land use change, and their effects on water resources and aquatic ecosystems. It notes that as the climate warms and becomes wetter in New England, precipitation and evapotranspiration patterns will be altered, impacting water availability and streamflow. Increased development leads to higher peak flows and lower base flows in streams due to changes in infiltration and groundwater recharge. Forested watersheds help sustain streamflow during dry periods through subsurface water storage and release. The interactions between climate, land use, and hydrologic processes present challenging questions regarding their relative impacts on water systems over time.Workshop Intro
This document provides information about a teachers workshop focused on communicating scientific principles around climate change and geological systems using the example of Lake El'gygytgyn in Russia. The workshop aims to show how curiosity-driven science is practical, communicate the sense of time in geological systems, and show how local climate change is linked globally. It discusses using geological records to understand past climate changes and use as a baseline for future changes. Key topics covered include teleconnections between distant places, environmental time lags, causality across large distances, and cycles in geological systems. It also summarizes recent reports on climate change from the IPCC and National Climate Assessment.
Changing Great Lakes Water Levels: Current Conditions and Future Projections
Changing Great Lakes Water Levels: Current Conditions and Future ProjectionsGraham Sustainability Institute at the University of Michigan
This document discusses changing water levels in the Great Lakes. It begins with an introduction and outline. It then covers historical water levels, including their seasonal and interannual variation. The main drivers of water level changes are described as the hydrologic cycle of precipitation, evaporation, runoff and flows between lakes. Projections are discussed for both seasonal and decadal timescales. The conclusions discuss challenges around quantifying data value, using models to replace observations, uncertainty quantification and the ability of projections to offer insights rather than firm predictions.Young et al. Littleton
Littleton Bog in Ireland provides a record of climate and vegetation changes over the Holocene. Analysis using plant macrofossils, pollen, testate amoebae, and stable isotopes show periods where the bog was wetter and drier, linked to changes in the North Atlantic. Two main phases of human activity are also recorded, with earlier trackways constructed of oak planks and later of roundwood, adapting to climate-driven changes in bog conditions.

It provides brief descriptions of the Earth Day flag, the origins of Earth Day, and the start of Dartmouth's Environmental Studies Program in 1970. It also lists titles and descriptions of materials in the library's collection related to Earth science, sustainability, and the environment.
Energy and Materials Exchange between Terrestrial and Aquatic Ecosystems
Energy and Materials Exchange between Terrestrial and Aquatic EcosystemsGraham Sustainability Institute at the University of Michigan
Paul Drevnick: U-M Biological Station research exploring the exchange of energy and materials between terrestrial and aquatic ecosystemsEco system and population
The document discusses ecosystems and their components. It defines an ecosystem as all the living and non-living things that interact in a particular environment. Ecosystems are classified as terrestrial, aquatic, or marine. They contain biotic components like producers, consumers, and decomposers as well as abiotic components like air, water, and nutrients. Producers like plants use sunlight to produce food, consumers eat other organisms, and decomposers break down dead organisms. Ecosystems also involve interactions like predation where one organism eats another and competition for resources between organisms. Population growth rates can be calculated using the standard formula of growth rate equals the change in population size over time.

Watershed approach
This document discusses watershed concepts for land management. It defines a watershed as a land area that drains water to a common location like a stream or river. It notes that watersheds are naturally occurring delineations that are nested in a hierarchical structure and can be mapped. Watersheds integrate physical, chemical, and biological properties from land, air, and water through interconnected stream networks. Properly functioning watersheds sustain natural processes and provide ecosystem services like clean water, flood control, food/materials, and recreation. Examples are given showing how watershed impacts can be seen in water chemistry, temperature, and trout biomass.

Climate change in Canada's Arctic: Impacts on Inuit communities and marine ec...University of Calgary
The impact of climate change in the Arctic is already evident and will be widespread. News headlines often focus on melting ice, increasing industrial development, and loss of habitat for animals like polar bears and whales. But we also need to consider the impact on Arctic communities, and the less obvious parts of the food web that those communities rely on.
Brent Else, an assistant professor in the Department of Geography in UCalgary's Faculty of Arts, discusses his recent research in the Canadian Arctic and what we should additionally focus on as the Arctic climate changes.

This document discusses using GPS vertical positioning to monitor groundwater storage changes. It begins by explaining that groundwater mining is a global problem, and that extracting groundwater causes the land surface to rise as the total water storage decreases. It then discusses how GPS networks can detect these vertical position changes at the sub-centimeter level on a daily basis, allowing monitoring of seasonal water changes. Finally, it notes that long-term groundwater pumping can lead to both reversible and irreversible subsidence exceeding several meters, and provides examples from California's Central Valley.
Effect of climate change and land subsidence on wmz in tidal lowland
This study is dealing with the effects of climate change - especially sea level rise - and land subsidence on water management zoning in tidal lowlands
Aquatic Ecosystems - Land Use Changes
The document discusses land use changes and their impact on water quality in aquatic ecosystems. It focuses on a study conducted at the Hubbard Brook Experimental Forest in New Hampshire, where researchers examined different land uses including clear cuts, deciduous forests, and developments. The study also looked at areas in Middletown, Delaware and how housing and commercial developments affected nearby water bodies like Wiggins Mill Pond and Noxontown Pond.
McGee_Final_Poster
The document summarizes a study that used climate models to project streamflow in the North Fork Nooksack River watershed through 2085 under different climate change scenarios. It found that two of the three models projected decreased streamflow in October, November, and July. All three projected declines in the typically dry month of July. This could lead to water shortages in Whatcom County and surrounding areas that rely on the river for water. The watershed provides habitat for diverse ecosystems from alpine to forested to developed lowland areas and supplies water for human and industrial uses.
Drainage basins and water budgets
The document discusses key concepts related to the hydrological cycle including drainage basins, stream ordering, drainage density, and water budgets. It prompts students to explain these concepts using terms like evapotranspiration, soil moisture utilization, soil moisture recharge, positive and negative water budgets, and field capacity. Students are also asked to consider if the UK and Greece have an overall positive or negative water budget and to review textbook pages in preparation for the next lesson.

July 27-30, 2014
Lombard, IL
Unit 4 Introductory slides
This document provides introductory information about groundwater and how GPS can be used to measure changes in groundwater levels. It includes diagrams of aquifers and aquifer sediments. Key points explained are:
- Groundwater is stored in pore spaces between sediments in aquifers below the ground surface.
- The amount of groundwater depends on the balance between additions from rainfall recharge and subtractions from withdrawals.
- GPS stations can continuously measure small vertical movements of the Earth's surface caused by changing groundwater levels in nearby aquifers.
Lesson 13a he river from source to mouth
This document provides information about how rivers change from their source to mouth, including definitions of river terms and stages. It discusses the upper, middle, and lower stages of a river and defines factors like erosion, gradient, depth, velocity, width, volume, and landforms. It also examines the river drainage system and provides examples about the River Severn and its source, upper course, middle course, and lower course.
Material cycles in nature
Biogeochemical Cycles In this section, we examine three material cycles of
nature: cycles of water, carbon, and nitrogen--substances central to maintaining
life on Earth. The three material cycles consist of the transfer of chemicals from
biological systems to geological systems and are therefore called
biogeochemical cycles. Processes that affect these transfers are biological
processes such as respiration, transpiration, photosynthesis, and
decomposition, as well as geological processes such as weathering, soil
formation, and sedimentation. As materials cycle through, we note that the total
quantity (mass) of matter remains the same, and energy that is put in changes
to work (often to rearrange forms of matter) and is eventually lost to the
surroundings.

How does population exposure to flood risk vary by time of day?
1) The document discusses how population exposure to flood risk varies throughout the day and by season due to fluctuations in temporary populations.
2) It presents the Population 24/7 tool, which estimates hourly population distributions across geographic units based on people's movements between origin and destination locations throughout the day according to temporal profiles.
3) The tool was applied to a case study in St. Austell, Cornwall, finding a peak summer population over 10,000 higher than resident numbers alone would suggest due to seasonal visitors.

Morphological Unit (1) (1)
This document discusses a study that uses 2D hydrodynamic modeling and topographic data to delineate morphological units (MUs) within river corridors. MUs are distinct landforms controlled by ecohydraulic variables that can be identified at lengths around 1-10 times the river width. The study presents a method to delineate MUs by combining hydraulic modeling data with digital elevation models and LiDAR data. Delineating MUs in this way allows researchers to better describe the underlying landforms and habitats within a river system. The document provides examples of applying this MU delineation procedure to different river types and concludes by discussing potential correlations between MUs, river discharge, and spatial variability.
Flood rings: Paleoflood evidence in tree-ring anatomy
In low-gradient, low energy rivers, forms of tree-ring evidence such as impact scars or stem deformation do not provide useful evidence of past floods. In this talk, I explain the strengths and limitations of wood anatomy as tools in in paleoflood hydrology.
Water Budgets and Sustainability: Starting with Stratigraphy
This document discusses water budgets and sustainability, starting with stratigraphy. It provides background on the Palouse region's geology, including the Columbia River Basalts and Palouse Falls. It also shows cross sections and maps of the Moscow-Pullman aquifer, well levels from 1938-2008, and participatory groundwater modeling. Finally, it discusses the shallow Shakopee and deeper Jordan aquifers near Northfield, Minnesota.
L1 variety in supply ap
Freshwater availability varies globally due to its uneven distribution and factors like population growth, climate change, and development levels that impact supply and demand. Aquifers underground store freshwater, but some are being drained faster than replenished. While three percent of water is fresh, most is locked in ice or far from population centers.

Felgate, Stacey: Pan-European monitoring of land-ocean-atmosphere carbon flux...Integrated Carbon Observation System (ICOS)
The document discusses the importance of monitoring land-ocean carbon fluxes at a pan-European scale. It notes that while there is a significant amount of existing data on carbon fluxes, the data is scattered and not standardized. The document recommends establishing a coordinated monitoring network that builds on existing water quality monitoring networks to regularly measure carbon and other parameters in Europe's major rivers, lakes, and coastal waters. Targeted process studies and numerical modeling could help extrapolate the monitoring data and further scientific understanding of carbon fluxes across the land-ocean continuum.Samec - Regression analysis of relations among main Quaternary environmental ...
This document analyzes relationships between environmental change indicators during the Quaternary period using regression analysis. It uses proxy data from loess/paleosol sequences in China, deep sea sediments in the east Pacific, and ice cores from East Antarctica to represent glacial/interglacial cycles. Exploratory analysis, interpolation, and multiple regression methods were used to analyze relationships between the proxy records over the middle to late Pleistocene. Results found weaker correlations between soil properties and climate cycles compared to other proxies. Logistic regression also suggested temporal variability in relationships between climate change factors and sediment properties.

Here are potential responses to the assignment questions:
1. There are reasonable arguments both for and against the view that human domination over nature and environmental problems started with the advent of agriculture. In favor is that agriculture allowed permanent settlements and population growth, leading to greater resource use. However, hunter-gatherer societies also impacted the environment, and some problems like climate change have more recent causes. Overall it is a complex issue with no clear answer.
2. Environmental science should focus more on the scientific and technical aspects like ecology, pollution causes and remediation. Environmental studies should provide more social context focusing on things like resource use patterns, environmental policies, economics and ethics. Studies should be more interdisciplinary and accessible to non-science students

The document discusses determining carbon and water fluxes and budgets at ecosystem to continental scales. It notes that terrestrial ecosystems annually sequester about one quarter of anthropogenic CO2 emissions, providing an important ecosystem service. OzFlux directly measures exchanges of carbon, water, and energy using eddy covariance across Australia. These measurements are used to test and improve land surface models, reduce uncertainty in estimates of net primary production for Australia, and develop the first comprehensive carbon budget for Australia. The document emphasizes the role of OzFlux measurements in quantifying carbon and water budgets from local to continental scales.

Human activity is affecting the water cycle through global warming, which intensifies the cycle and can lead to either flooding from excess water or drought from drying out of soils. Water quality and quantity are also impacted as human activities like pollution and overuse diminish the supply of clean, potable water available on Earth. Predicting and mitigating these effects on the global water cycle will help ensure a sustainable supply of freshwater for humans and ecosystems.

Bangladesh is prone to flooding due to its location and geography. Three-quarters of the country is less than 10 meters above sea level and situated in the delta of major rivers. Major floods have occurred regularly, such as in 1988, 1998, 2004, 2007, and 2010. The 1998 flood was particularly devastating, killing over 1,300 people, destroying 7 million homes and displacing 25 million people. Flood management strategies for Bangladesh include raising villages and individual homes above flood levels, building flood shelters, stocking rescue boats, and using radio communication to issue warnings.
Bangladesh 10 d
Bangladesh is a low-lying country located in South Asia that is prone to frequent and severe flooding. Much of the country consists of a fertile delta plain formed by major rivers like the Ganges, Brahmaputra, and Meghna. Approximately 80% of Bangladesh is less than 10 meters above sea level, making it vulnerable to flooding from heavy seasonal rains and monsoon storms as well as meltwater from the Himalayas. Major floods in 1988, 1998, 2004, and 2007 displaced millions of people and caused widespread damage. To prevent future flooding, strategies have included building flood defenses like embankments, planting mangroves, and improving flood forecasting and early warning systems.
