Cusk (Brosme brosme) and Climate Change: Assessing the Threat to a Candidate Marine Fish Species Under the US Endangered Species Act

December 2012
Jonathan A. Hare, John P. Manderson, Janet A. Nye, Michael A. Alexander, Peter J. Auster, Diane L. Borggaard, Antonietta M. Capotondi, Kimberly B. Damon-Randall, Eric Heupel, Ivan Mateo, Loretta O'Brien, David E. Richardson, Charles A. Stock, Sarah T. Biegel
ICES Journal of Marine Science
This study examines changes in distribution and abundance of a number of marine fish in the Northwest Atlantic that have been linked to climate variability and change, suggesting that both fishing and climate may affect the status of cusk. Read More →

Increase of Extreme Events in a Warming World

November 2011
Stefan Rahmstorf, Dim Coumou
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America (PNAS)
This study develops a theoretical approach to quantify the effect of long-term trends on the expected number of extremes, finding that climatic warming increases the number of extreme events and the number of new global-mean temperature records. Read More →

Prolonged Suppression of Ecosystem Carbon Dioxide Uptake After an Anomalously Warm Year

September 2008
John A. Arnone III, Paul S. J. Verburg, Dale W. Johnson, Jessica D. Larsen, Richard L. Jasoni, Annmarie J. Lucchesi, Candace M. Batts, Christopher von Nagy, William G. Coulombe, David E. Schorran, Paul E. Buck, Bobby H. Braswell, James S. Coleman, Rebecca A. Sherry, Linda L. Wallace, Yiqi Luo, David S. Schimel
Nature
This study suggests that more frequent anomalously warm years, a possible consequence of increasing anthropogenic carbon dioxide levels, may lead to a sustained decrease in carbon dioxide uptake by terrestrial ecosystems.Read More →

Forcing of Multiyear Extreme Ocean Temperatures that Impacted California Current Living Marine Resources in 2016

January 2008
Michael G. Jacox, Michael A. Alexander, Nathan J. Mantua, James D. Scott, Gaelle Hervieux, Robert S. Webb, Francisco E. Werner
Bulletin of the American Meteorological Society
Significant impacts on California Current living marine resources in 2016 resulted from sustained extremely high ocean temperatures forced by a confluence of natural drivers and likely exacerbated by anthropogenic warming.Read More →

How Unusual Was Autumn 2006 in Europe?

November 2007
G. J. van Oldenborgh
Climate of the Past
This study analyzes the record high temperatures in large parts of Europe in the autumn of 2006 and the implications for the accuracy of climate models, which well underestimated the observed mean rise in autumn temperatures. Read More →
