Title Description
Diffusion into new markets: evolving customer segments in the solar photovoltaics market The US residential solar market is growing quickly, and as solar adoption diffuses into new populations, later adopters may differ significantly from earlier on...
From Past to Future Warming Analyses of past observations help to predict the human contribution to future climate change. 21 FEBRUARY 2014 VOL 343 SCIENCE
Commentary: The climate policy narrative for a dangerously warming world It is time to acknowledge that global average temperatures are likely to rise above the 2 °C policy target and consider how that deeply troubling prospect shou...
Increasing Northern Hemisphere water deficit A monthly water-balance model is used with CRUTS3.1 gridded monthly precip- itation and potential evapotranspiration (PET) data to examine changes in global wat...
The declining uptake rate of atmospheric CO2 by land and ocean sinks Through 1959–2012, an airborne fraction (AF) of 0.44 of total anthropogenic CO2 emissions remained in the atmosphere, with the rest being taken up by land and...
Using and improving the social cost of carbon: Regular, institutionalized updating and review are essential The social cost of carbon (SCC) is a crucial tool for economic analysis of climate policies. The SCC estimates the dollar value of reduced climate change damage...
Defaunation in the Anthropocene We live amid a global wave of anthropogenically driven biodiversity loss: species and population extirpations and, critically, declines in local species abunda...
Global change and the groundwater management challenge With rivers in critical regions already exploited to capacity throughout the world and ground- water overdraft as well as large-scale contamination occurring in...
Projected increase in lightning strikes in the United States due to global warming Lightning plays an important role in atmospheric chemistry and in the initiation of wildfires, but the impact of global warming on lightning rates is poorly con...
Seasonal weather patterns drive population vital rates and persistence in a stream fish Here, we investigated effects of seasonal air temperature and precipitation (fall, winter, and spring) on survival and recruitment of brook trout (Salvelinus fo...
Accounting for groundwater in stream fish thermal habitat responses to climate change Forecasting climate change effects on aquatic fauna and their habitat requires an understanding of how water temperature responds to changing air temperature (i...
Integrated assessment of global water scarcity over the 21st century under multiple climate change mitigation policies Water scarcity conditions over the 21st century both globally and regionally are assessed in the context of climate change and climate mitigation policies, by e...
Life history and spatial traits predict extinction risk due to climate change There is an urgent need to develop effective vulnerability assessments for evaluating the conservation status of species in a changing climate1. Several new ass...
Invited Review: Quantifying surface albedo and other direct biogeophysical climate forcings of forestry activities By altering fluxes of heat, momentum, and moisture exchanges between the land surface and atmosphere, forestry and other land-use activities affect climate. Alt...
Assemblage Time Series Reveal Biodiversity Change but Not Systematic Loss The extent to which biodiversity change in local assemblages contributes to global biodiversity loss is poorly understood. We analyzed 100 time series from bio...
Effect of Risk Aversion on Prioritizing Conservation Projects Agencies making decisions about what threat mitigation actions to take to save which species frequently face the dilemma of whether to invest in actions with hi...
Desert grassland responses to climate and soil moisture suggest divergent vulnerabilities across the southwestern United States Climate change predictions include warming and drying trends, which are expected to be particularly pronounced in the southwestern United States. In this region...

The State of Greenhouse Gases in the Atmosphere Based on Global Observations through 2013 The WMO Global Atmosphere Watch (GAW) coordinates observations of the most important contributors to climate change: long-lived greenhouse gases(LLGHG). In the ...
Global protected area expansion is compromised by projected land-use and parochialism Protected areas are one of the main tools for halting the continuing global biodiversity crisis1–4 caused by habitat loss, fragmentation and other anthropogen...
