This theme is particularly appropriate at a time when communities around the globe are struggling to attain the United Nations Millennium Development Goals, especially in terms of health, food, water security and poverty alleviation, as well as to increase their effectiveness in preventing and mitigating natural disasters, of which 90 per cent are directly related to weather, climate and water hazards ...
The Impacts of Atmospheric Deposition to the Ocean on Marine Ecosystems and Climate
Bulletin nº Vol 58 (1) - 2009
1
Publish Date: 1 January 2009
https://www.uea.ac.uk/environmental-sciences The transfer of chemicals from the atmosphere to the ocean has long had an impact on the ocean (e.g. nutrient source; pH influence). With the advent of the Anthropocene, the transfer of some chemicals has increased over natural levels and the transfer of new chemicals has commenced. This brief review examines the impact of the increased transfer of certain nutrients (nitrogen, iron and phosphorus), toxins (lead and mercury) and pH regulators (carbon dioxide) on ocean ecosystems and climate.
Implications of Climate Change for Air Quality
Bulletin nº Vol 58 (1) - 2009
1
Publish Date: 1 January 2009
Changes in the chemical composition of the atmosphere, which have resulted from massive industrialization, intensive agriculture and urbanization, as well as road, maritime and air traffic, have led directly and indirectly to enhanced radiative forcing with, as a result, future changes in the Earth’s temperatures and hydrological cycles.
The Carbonaceous Aerosol—a Remaining Challenge
Bulletin nº Vol 58 (1) - 2009
1
Publish Date: 1 January 2009
The ambient aerosol level remains a major challenge in atmospheric science due to its ability to cause negative health effects and its ability to influence the radiative balance and, thus, the Earth’s surface temperature. Our knowledge of the mechanisms by which the effects can be explained, however, is still a matter of ongoing research.
