...Samuel A. Krebs; Karin E. Limburg; Michael L. Schummer The rate of sea-level rise (SLR) has increased due to climate change, affecting coastal salt marshes. It is uncertain if species can persist with rapid SLR compounded with other effects of climate change and human activity. SLR-induced habitat...

...Nina Lansbury; Keiko Mishiro; Kyu-Yeon Son; Olivia Milsom; Shelby Baston; Lisa Buckley Climate change is a wicked problem. It is valuable for those working in public health to understand the causes, impacts, and possible responses that affect human health. Educators disagree on effective...

...Matthew Houser Improving the use efficiency of nitrogen fertilizer is one of the most effective ways to mitigate agriculture’s contributions to climate change and water-quality degradation. However, studies suggest that many farmers worldwide are exceeding annual-profitable nitrogen rates and thus...

...Katy Vieira; Amanda McMillan Lequieu Researchers are predicting that the spatially uneven distribution of climate change risks will further exacerbate the inequalities of environmental change in the coming decades. This case study of coffee offers a window into the feedback loops of ecological...

... by policy makers globally because of their simplicity in presenting the financial costs related to climate change mitigation measures. MACCs can be powerful tools for demonstrating low carbon development solutions because they allow for the description of the potential of GHG emissions compared to financial...

...Jennifer Bernstein; Karen Kemp Environmental degradation and climate change have become core social and political issues. Subsequently, it is critical to educate environmental studies and sciences students with respect to the appropriate conceptual models and the relevant skill sets to become...

...John H. Perkins Modern economies cannot function without electricity, and production of electric power affects citizens in many ways, including climate change. Production of electricity requires investments that easily reach billions of dollars, and streams of investment capital must be perpetual...

As a result of this case study and answering the corresponding questions, readers will be able to identify modern approaches to mosquito control based on an ecological...

...Andrew Marx; Donald McFarlane The migration of vegetation under the influence of climate change is of great interest to ecologists, but can be difficult to quantify—especially in less accessible landscapes. Monitoring land cover change through remote sensing has become the best solution, especially...

...John H. Perkins; Natalie Kopytko; Kathleen M. Saul Energy poses challenges to environmental studies because of climate change and other effects, and field trips are indispensable aids to learning. They enable students to see situations first-hand, and many are joyous and fun, such as field trips...

Berkner and Marshall chose to write private letters, in an effort to start a quiet research program that would measure atmospheric oxygen levels. Unlike many ecologists including Rachel Carson, Berkner had advised...

...Javier Mateo-Vega; Ana K. Spalding; Gordon M. Hickey; Catherine Potvin Deforestation is a primary contributor to global climate change. When the forest is felled and the vegetation is burnt or decomposes, carbon dioxide, a greenhouse gas, is released into the atmosphere. An approach designed...
