World's Lakes At Risk Of Continued Algal Blooms Triggered By Warm Waters
2015-12-21 04:02:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Nature World: The Earth's lakes may take a devastating hit from climate change, researchers report in a new study. Rapidly warming waters in freshwater bodies, including several Great Lakes and many reservoirs, trigger harmful algae blooms that ultimately threaten freshwater supplies for local ecosystems. A team of researchers led by Catherine O'Reilly from Illinois State University analyzed satellite temperature data and long-term ground measurements taken from a total of 235 lakes, which store half of our...

'Unprecedented' Toxic Algal Blooms Harming West Coast's Wildlife
2015-12-19 15:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Weather: While algal blooms are relatively common, this one is different. The algae thriving off the West Coast, Pseudo nizchia, can produce a deadly neurotoxin called domoic acid. What's more, the bloom was unusually large and lasted an unusually long duration, partially due to warm water conditions brought in by El Nio. Now, scientists are warning of the widespread effects the toxic algae is having on wildlife and the seafood industry. "The duration of the bloom and the intensity of the toxicity were...

Algal Blooms Linked to Largest Die-Off of Great Whales Ever Recorded
2015-10-29 19:38:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
EcoWatch: In Argentina baby whales have been dying off the coast in increasingly high numbers for the past decade and no one has known exactly why. "The average number of right whale deaths per year at Peninsula Valdes jumped more than 10-fold, from fewer than six per year before 2005 to 65 per year from 2005 to 2014," reports National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) Fisheries West Coast Region. "Even more striking," they say, "90 percent of the deaths from 2005 to 2014 were very young calves...
