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
John A. Gamon,John A. Gamon,K. Fred Huemmrich,K. Fred Huemmrich,Robert S. Stone,Robert S. Stone,Craig E. Tweedie +6 more
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.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors focus on three key aspects of the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project phase 6 (CMIP6): what is new in these models, how the available CMIP6 models evaluate compared to CMIP5, and their projections of the future Australian climate compared to the highest emissions scenario.

Assessing future risk: quantifying the effects of sea level rise on storm surge risk for the southern shores of Long Island, New York
Christine C. Shepard,Vera N. Agostini,Ben Gilmer,Tashya Allen,Jeff Stone,William Brooks,Michael W. Beck +6 more
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.
