Impact Attribution

This category encompasses research aimed at understanding how global climate change affects human and natural systems. The resources listed below deal with localized physical impacts, such as floods, droughts, and sea level rise, and the corresponding effects on infrastructure, public health, ecosystems, agriculture, and economies.

Environmental variability directly affects the prevalence of divorce in monogamous albatrosses

November 2021
Francesco Ventura, José Pedro Granadeiro, Paul M. Lukacs, Amanda Kuepfer, and Paulo Catry
Proceedings of the Royal Society B
This study finds that the probability of divorce among the the long-lived black-browed albatross is directly affected by the environment, increasing in years with warm sea surface temperature anomalies.Read More →

Plague risk in the western United States over seven decades of environmental change

November 2021
Colin J. Carlson, Sarah N. Bevins, and Boris V. Schmid
Global Change Biology
This study finds that due to the changing climate, rodent communities at high elevations have become more conducive to the establishment of plague reservoirs and that spillover risk to humans at mid-elevations has increased as well.Read More →
