Forested watershed

The article summarizes the issues that Hawaii will be dealing with in the future due to the changing climate. Some issues included are erosion, death of coral reefs, and loss of fresh water.

Temperature, rainfall patterns, sea level and ocean chemistry, to name but a few, will move beyond the range of our experience, and planning effective conservation will increasingly depend on predictive models and assessments rather than knowledge and data from the past.

This fact sheet summarizes the natural resources that are at risk from climate change.

This fact sheet summarizes the affects that climate change is having on Hawaii, such as ocean acidification and sea level rise.

Warmer oceans are leading to increased coral bleaching and disease outbreaks and changing distribution of tuna fisheries. Freshwater supplies will become more limited on many islands. Coastal flooding and erosion will increase. Mounting threats to food and water security, infrastructure, health, and safety are expected to lead to increasing human migration.

The following is a summary of projected climate change impacts for six diverse yet connected sectors of the Pacific Northwest (PNW) environment: hydrology and water resources, salmon and marine ecosystems, forests, coasts, agriculture, and human health.

This plan considers the risks to, and strategies for, protecting health, economy, natural and cultural resources as well as infrastructure.

The NorWeST webpage hosts stream temperature data and climate scenarios in a variety of user-friendly digital formats for streams and rivers across the western U.S.

Precipitation in the region has seen a decline in both the amount of total snowfall and the proportion of precipitation falling as snow. Declines in snowpack and streamflows have been observed in the Cascades in recent decades.
