Nearly one in ten mammals won’t run fast enough from climate change – UW News

A new study released in the May 14 edition of the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences has estimated that 9% – nearly one in ten – of the mammal species in the Western Hemisphere will not be able to migrate quickly enough to outpace the changes that global warming will effect on them and their habitats. The paper was authored by Carrie Schloss and Tristan Nunez, former grad students in  SEFS, and their advisor Josh Lawler.  Read more here.

Increasing speed of Greenland glaciers gives new insight for rising sea level – UW Today

Ian Joughin/Science/AAAS--Massive sections of ice (center front) have broken away from the Jakobshavn glacier into the sea. There's enough water stored in Greenland's glaciers to raise the sea level by 20 feet.

Changes in the speed that ice travels in more than 200 outlet glaciers indicates that Greenland’s contribution to rising sea level in the 21st century might be significantly less than the upper limits some scientists thought possible, a new study shows.  Read more about it here, or listen to NPR’s “All Things Considered” story here!

World’s ocean warming apace with greenhouse gas emissions – Science

From ScienceShot; Adapted from S. Levitus et al., Geophys. Res. Letts.; © AGU 2012

According to a new study in press in Geophysical Research Letters, the heat trapped by greenhouse gases has warmed the world’s ocean consistently over the past 50+ years. Notably, our ocean stores over 90% of the heat generated by global warming. Read more here.

Study finds a >90% decline in Pacific reef sharks – Washington Post

A new study out in Conservation Biology finds that there are less than 1 in 10 Pacific reef sharks left, after the past few decades of effects by humans. The spatial pattern of the drastic decline is highly correlated to human presence, even if that presence is just 100 people living on an atoll. Read more about this study here.
