Anthropogenic pollution of aquatic ecosystems: Emerging problems with global implications
Donat-P. Häder,Anastazia T. Banaszak,Virginia E. Villafañe,Virginia E. Villafañe,Maite Andrea Narvarte,Maite Andrea Narvarte,Raúl González,Raúl González,E. Walter Helbling,E. Walter Helbling +9 more
TL;DR: Five sources of anthropogenic pollution that affect marine and freshwater ecosystems are discussed: sewage, nutrients and terrigenous materials, crude oil, heavy metals and plastics, and the direct and indirect effects that these pollutants have on a range of aquatic organisms even when the pollutant source is distant from the sink.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors assess the scientific literature describing expectations for near-term climate (present through mid-century) and assess the potential for the skilful prediction of annual to decadal average temperature and, to a lesser extent precipitation.
IPCC Reasons for Concern Regarding Climate Change Risks: Implications for 1.5 and 2 C Targets
B. C. O'Neill,M. Oppenheimer +1 more
TL;DR: The reasons for concern framework as mentioned in this paper has been widely used in the literature to assess risks in relation to varying levels of climate change, and is a cornerstone of the most recent IPCC assessments.
Sea Level Rise.
TL;DR: Students will learn that heated water has more volume and will cause sea level to rise through a process called thermal expansion and perform an experiment to learn that melting land-based ice contributes to greater sea-level rise than melting sea ice.

Updated high‐resolution grids of monthly climatic observations – the CRU TS3.10 Dataset
TL;DR: In this paper, an updated gridded climate dataset (referred to as CRU TS3.10) from monthly observations at meteorological stations across the world's land areas is presented.

Increasing destructiveness of tropical cyclones over the past 30 years
TL;DR: An index of the potential destructiveness of hurricanes based on the total dissipation of power, integrated over the lifetime of the cyclone, is defined and shows that this index has increased markedly since the mid-1970s, due to both longer storm lifetimes and greater storm intensities.

Sinking deltas due to human activities
James P. M. Syvitski,Albert J. Kettner,Irina Overeem,Eric W. H. Hutton,M. T. Hannon,G. Robert Brakenridge,John W. Day,Charles J. Vörösmarty,Yoshiki Saito,Liviu Giosan,Robert J. Nicholls +10 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors present an assessment of 33 deltas chosen to represent the world's Deltas and find that in the past decade, 85% of them experienced severe flooding, resulting in the temporary submergence of 260,000 km2.
