Ecopath CarboScope 1. Explore the future's rising seas | New Scientist. These animations are based on the warming likely to occur under two scenarios for future greenhouse gas emissions, devised by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change: High: intensive use of fossil fuels resulting in very large CO2 emissions. It is intended as a worst-case, business-as-usual scenario excluding policies to limit climate change. The median temperature projection for 2100 is around 5 °C above pre-industrial averages.
Low: aims at stabilising CO2 concentration in the atmosphere by the middle of the century. The simulations use methods explained in this paper from Mahé Perrette of the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research in Germany and his colleagues, updated to account for new estimates of the contributions to sea level rise made by melting Greenland and Antarctic ice.

Final (third) review draft of Synthesis and Assessment Product 4.2. Strategic Plan. Ocean pollution: Addressing root causes of nutrient over-enrichment.
Low oxygen (hypoxic) areas known as dead zones, where most marine life cannot survive, can result in the collapse of some ecosystems. There are now close to 500 dead zones with a total global surface area of over 245,000 km², roughly equivalent to that of the United Kingdom. The overall effect is to undermine the resilience of marine and coastal ecosystems, affecting in turn their ability to support coastal livelihoods such as fishing and tourism and their potential role in climate change adaptation and mitigation. The cost to countries of nutrient over-enrichment from the degradation of their marine and coastal natural resource base, and the services and livelihoods it provides, will increase without improved policy responses.

The Marine Climate Change - Impacts and Adaptaton Report Card for 2012. WelcomeThis 2012 Report Card demonstrates that climate change is having significant impacts on Australia’s oceans and marine ecosystems. Many new changes have been documented since the 2009 Report Card. There is now striking evidence of extensive southward movements of tropical fish and plankton species in southeast Australia, declines in abundance of temperate species, and the first signs of the effect of ocean acidification on marine species with shells. The report card highlights that the Australian science community is widely engaged in research, monitoring and observing programs to increase our understanding of climate change impacts and inform management.
The comprehensive information shows that adaptation planning is already underway, from seasonal forecasts for fisheries and aquaculture, to climate-proofing of breeding sites for turtles and seabirds. 98 of Australia’s leading marine scientists from 37 universities and research organisations contributed to the 2012 Report Card.

The Coordinated Regional Downscaling Experiment (CORDEX) program was recently established by the World Climate Research Program (WCRP). The aim of CORDEX is to develop an international coordinated framework for generating improved regional climate change projections worldwide. Results from the CORDEX analysis will be used as input to the IPCC Fifth Assessment Report as well as to meet the growing demand for high-resolution downscaled projections to inform climate change impact and adaptation studies.
For Africa, CORDEX presents an unprecedented opportunity to advance knowledge of regional climate responses to global climate change, and for these insights to feed into on-going climate adaptation and risk assessment research and policy planning in the region. The training programme, which will be convened in early 2011, will focus on skill development in working with climate model results, analysis of CORDEX datasets, and compilation and writing of analytical results.
