The influence of rivers on seabird foraging ecology

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Rivers act as vital arteries to the world's oceans, delivering fresh water and nutrients that sustain marine ecosystems. Globally, river flow increasingly is being altered by climate change and anthropogenic pressures; yet the significance of rivers to predatory marine species, such as seabirds, and the extent to which river‐related changes ...

A realistic expectation of sea level rise in the Mexican Caribbean

Journal of Ocean Engineering and Science, 2019
This paper provides a realistic estimation of the sea level rise by 2050 and by 2100 in the Mexican Caribbean, and more specifically in the North–East side of the Yucatan peninsula, in between Cancun and Playa del Carmen, where the most part of the ...

Coastal flood implications of 1.5 {\deg}C, 2.0 {\deg}C, and 2.5 {\deg}C temperature stabilization targets in the 21st and 22nd century

, 2017
Sea-level rise (SLR) is magnifying the frequency and severity of coastal flooding. The rate and amount of global mean sea-level (GMSL) rise is a function of the trajectory of global mean surface temperature (GMST).

Extent, characteristics and policy applications of Key Biodiversity Areas

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT A global standard for the identification of Key Biodiversity Areas (KBAs) was published 10 years ago to provide a unified set of criteria for identifying ‘sites of significance for the global persistence of biodiversity’. We review the initiative's origins, the KBA identification process, characteristics of the current network, threats, policy

Evaluating model simulations of twentieth-century sea-level rise. Part II: regional sea-level changes [PDF]

, 2017
Twentieth-century regional sea level changes are estimated from 12 climate models from phase 5 of the Climate Model Intercomparison Project (CMIP5). The output of the CMIP5 climate model simulations was used to calculate the global and regional sea level

How wildlife respond to tropical cyclones: short‐term tactics and long‐term impacts

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT From butterflies to lizards and from sharks to seabirds, wildlife exhibit tactics to survive the impacts of tropical cyclones, also known as hurricanes, cyclones, or typhoons depending on where they occur. Some species seek refuge during the storm by moving, some remain in place and ride it out, and others move longer distances, avoiding the ...

Estimation of Relative Sea Level Change in Locations Without Tide Gauges Using Artificial Neural Networks

Journal of Marine Science and Engineering
Sea level rise due to climate change poses an increasing threat to coastal ecosystems, infrastructure, and human settlements. However, accurately estimating sea level changes in regions without tide gauge observations remains a major challenge.

Sixteen years of bathymetry and waves at San Diego beaches. [PDF]

, 2019
Sustained, quantitative observations of nearshore waves and sand levels are essential for testing beach evolution models, but comprehensive datasets are relatively rare.
