Applying science to pressing conservation needs for penguins
(Wiley-Blackwell, 2020)
More than half of the world's 18 penguin species are declining. We, the Steering Committee of the International Union for Conservation of Nature Species Survival Commission Penguin Specialist Group, determined that the ...
Reviewing evidence of marine ecosystem change off South Africa
(National Inquiry Services Centre, 2013)
Recent changes have been observed in South African marine ecosystems. The main pressures on these
ecosystems are fishing, climate change, pollution, ocean acidification and mining. The best long-term datasets are
for trends ...
Cross-species multiple environmental stress responses: An integrated approach to identify candidate genes for multiple stress tolerance in sorghum (Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench) and related model species
(Public Library of Science, 2018)
BACKGROUND
Crop response to the changing climate and unpredictable effects of global warming with
adverse conditions such as drought stress has brought concerns about food security to the
fore; crop yield loss is a major ...
Climate change and its influence on the Karst groundwater recharge in the Jinci Spring Region, Northern China
(MDPI, 2017)
Due to climate change and human activities over the last fifty years, the spring flow
volume of karst groundwater has sharply diminished in China. Climate change is one of the critical
factors that initiates a series of ...
Predominant atmospheric and oceanic patterns during coastal marine heatwaves
(Frontiers Media, 2017)
As the mean temperatures of the worlds oceans increase, it is predicted that marine
heatwaves (MHWs) will occur more frequently and with increased severity. However,
it has been shown that variables other than increases ...
Phenological shift in swarming patterns of Rhopilema nomadica in the Eastern Mediterranean Sea
(Oxford University Press, 2020)
Jellyfish (JF) swarms impact human wellbeing and marine ecosystems. Their global proliferation is a matter of concern and scientific debate, and the multitude of factors affecting (and affected by) their density and ...
Variation and change of upwelling dynamics detected in the world’s eastern boundary upwelling systems
(Frontiers Media S.A., 2021)
Global increases in temperature are altering land-sea temperature gradients. Bakun (1990) hypothesized that changes within these gradients will directly affect atmospheric pressure cells associated with the development of ...
Towards a gender sensitive vulnerability assessment for climate change: Lambani, Limpopo Province, South Africa
(SAGE, 2019)
Women’s limited access to resources and decisionmaking processes increases their vulnerability to
impacts of climate change. Despite their own vulnerability, women are often responsible for caring for
close relatives, ...
Towards an ethnography of climate change variability: Perceptions and coping mechanisms of women and men from Lambani village, Limpopo province
(SAGE, 2017)
Attention to gender and equity has lagged behind
in climate change research, programming, national
policy-making and in the international negotiations.
Studies on climate change and gender links with
climate change ...
Impact of climate change and anthropogenic activities on renewable coastal resources and biodiversity in Nigeria
(Academic Journals, 2012)
Climates related disaster is greatly human induced warming, leading to substantial fluctuations in earth temperature which is currently a global issue of environmental concern. Human proximity and pressure in and around ...
