Global Climate Change Sara Parr Sigrid Smith Kellogg Biological Station

What is Global Climate Change?  Changes in global temperature  Changes in patterns of precipitation and extreme weather events ( increased risk of droughts and floods)  additional sea-level rise that will gradually inundate coastal areas  threats to biodiversity  potential challenges for public health.

Source:

What does that mean for us?  Continuation of historical trends of greenhouse gas emissions will result in additional warming over the 21 st century, with current projections of a global increase of 2.5 º F to 10.4 º F by 2100, with warming in the U.S. expected to be even higher.

What Causes Global Climate Change?  Increases in greenhouse gas concentrations, particularly water vapor, CO 2, CH 4, N 2 O, CFCs, and HCFCs  Decreases in the cover of ice sheets changes the albedo of the earth  Land use changes and changes in the water cycle may also influence global climate change.

Lake ice data  Another longterm data record collected for several lakes  Predictions: If global temperatures are increasing, we might see … –Later ice formation in winter ( “ ice-on ” ) –Earlier ice thawing in spring ( “ ice-off ” ) –Shorter ice duration (number of days lake is frozen during winter)
