Lower Ozone levels in Houston linked to climate change

ScienceDaily: Researchers at the University of Houston have determined that climate change -- in the form of a stronger sea breeze, the result of warmer soil temperatures -- contributed to the drop in high-ozone days in the Houston area. Robert Talbot, professor of atmospheric chemistry, said that also should be true for coastal regions globally. The researchers describe their findings in a paper published this week in the journal Atmosphere. In addition to Talbot, they include first author Lei Liu, a doctoral...

Massive Bird Invasions Linked to Climate Shifts

2015-05-12 19:05:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed

Nature World: Massive bird invasions taking place across the United States and Canada, a phenomenon that has long puzzled scientists and birdwatchers alike, is reportedly linked to climate shifts, new research indicates. Over the years, vast numbers of birds from Canada's boreal forests have migrated hundreds-of-thousands of miles south from their usual winter range. While previous studies have blamed these so-called irruptions on food shortages, it seems that climate also plays a role. Specifically, persistent...

Massive southern invasions by northern birds linked climate shifts

ScienceDaily: With puzzling variability, vast numbers of birds from Canada's boreal forests migrate hundreds or thousands of miles south from their usual winter range. These so-called irruptions were first noticed by birdwatchers decades ago, but the driving factors have never been fully explained. Now scientists have pinpointed the climate pattern that likely sets the stage for irruptions -- a discovery that could make it possible to predict the events more than a year in advance. The researchers found that...
