Temperature modulates coccolithophorid sensitivity of growth, photosynthesis and calcification to increasing seawater pCO2

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that the CO2 concentration where optimum growth, calcification and carbon fixation rates occur is modulated by temperature, which emphasizes that the cellular responses of coccolithophores to ocean acidification can only be judged accurately when interpreted in the proper eco-physiological context of a given strain or species.

Spatial and Temporal Variation in Primary Productivity (NDVI) of Coastal Alaskan Tundra: Decreased Vegetation Growth Following Earlier Snowmelt

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used the Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) from both field and satellite measurements as an indicator of vegetation phenology and productivity, and monitored spatial and temporal patterns of vegetation growth for a coastal wet sedge tundra site near Barrow, Alaska.

Climate change, air pollution and extreme events leading to increasing prevalence of allergic respiratory diseases.

TL;DR: Considering these aspects governments worldwide and international organizations such as the World Health Organization and the European Union are facing a growing problem of the respiratory effects induced by gaseous and particulate pollutants arising from motor vehicle emissions.

Assessing future risk: quantifying the effects of sea level rise on storm surge risk for the southern shores of Long Island, New York

TL;DR: In this article, the authors apply a GIS-based approach to quantify potential changes in storm surge risk due to sea level rise on Long Island, New York, by combining hazard exposure and community vulnerability to spatially characterize risk for both present and future sea level conditions.

Climate Extremes: Observations, Modeling, and Impacts

TL;DR: Results of observational studies suggest that in many areas that have been analyzed, changes in total precipitation are amplified at the tails, and changes in some temperature extremes have been observed.
