A 2018 study revealed national parks are warming at twice the rate of the rest of the country, because they are mainly located in climate-sensitive regions like mountain ranges or in Alaska, near the North Pole. "We're already seeing transformational impacts of anthropogenic climate change throug...
In the late 19th and early 20th centuries, there were four regions where natural gas was piped in for use in cities and industries: western Pennsylvania and West Virginia, northern and central Indiana, locations around Los Angeles including the San Joaquin Valley, and eastern Kansas. Towns and ...
Simulations reveal a robust weakening of the RC in response to greenhouse gas increases, along with a widening of the RC in some regions. For example, simulated widening of the zonal mean HC in the Southern Hemisphere appears to arise in large part from regional overturning anomalies over the ...
it was decided to stratify the study sites by habitat type.USGS topo maps of Wilder Ranch State Park(Santa Cruz&Felton quadrangles)were combined and divided into basic habitat regions,using aerial maps and the vegetation maps created by IMAP in Arcview.Grassland and woodland areas were delineated...
