Thomas Ruppert replied to Jessica Whitehead's discussion 2011 SGCN Activities in the group Steering CommitteeThomas Ruppert replied to Jessica Whitehead's discussion Formalizing SGCN Strategic Objectives in the group Steering Committee"Well, I'll do an equally stream-of-consciousness reply. . . .
It is true that the charter already lays things out quite well.
I confess to also not usually using the NING site. Part of this probably stems from the fact that I feel my focus is,…"

April 19, 2010 at 1pm to April 21, 2010 at 3pm
The Gulf of Mexico Climate Outreach Program is assembling a Community of Practice to bring extension, outreach, and education (EOE) experts together to identify how to help coastal communities address the potential economic, social, and ecological impacts of Sea Level Rise (SLR) around the Gulf of Mexico (GOM). The project will discuss the impacts of SLR through a collaborative project involving the four GOM Sea Grant Programs (Texas, Louisiana, Florida and Mississippi-Alabama), NOAA…See More
Thomas Ruppert commented on Steve McMurray's blog post FAO report on climate change implications for fisheries and aquaculture"I am surprised that under habitat changes the report did not discuss the loss of estuaries in the land/sea interface due to armoring to hold back the sea.
Does anyone have any research on the impacts to fisheries of the loss of nursery habitat?"

New study indicates significant likely impact of further development and coastal protection on wetlands
Here is a summary of a new paper recently published by James Titus and coauthors on the impact continuing and increased coastal development and protection will have wetland migration in the face of sea level rise. Makes for interesting reading as they argue that the federal government is violating the Clean Water Act by allowing extensive armoring to take place.
State and local governments are planning the development of most land vulnerable to rising sea level along the Atlantic… Continue

Possible record-setting dead zone for Gulf of Mexico
Scientists are expecting a very large “dead zone” in the Gulf of Mexico and a smaller than average hypoxic level in the Chesapeake Bay this year, based on several NOAA-supported forecast models.NOAA releases draft proposal to expand Thunder Bay National Marine Sanctuary
NOAA today released for public comment a draft environmental impact statement (DEIS) and proposed rule for expanding the boundaries of Thunder Bay National Marine Sanctuary in Lake Huron from its current 448 square miles to 4,300 square miles.2012 ranks as 2nd costliest year with 11 billion-dollar disasters causing more than $110 billion in damages
Sandy caused approximately $65 billion and drought nearly $30 billion in damage, according to a final report by NOAA's National Climatic Data Center.NASA Climate Science
Scientists find ancient microbes in Antarctic lake
In one of the most remote lakes of Antarctica, nearly 65 feet (19.8 meters) beneath the icy surface, scientists have uncovered a community of bacteria.Drygalski Ice Tongue, Antarctica

An international team of experts has produced the most comprehensive and accurate assessment to date of ice sheet losses in Greenland and Antarctica and their contributions to sea level rise.Science Daily Climate News
Stone Age technological and cultural innovation accelerated by climate change
Technological innovation during the Stone Age occurred in fits and starts and was climate-driven, according to new research. Abrupt changes in rainfall in South Africa 40,000 to 80,000 years ago triggered the development of technologies for finding refuge and the behavior of modern humans.Predators affect the carbon cycle, study shows
A new study shows that the predator-prey relationship can affect the flow of carbon through an ecosystem. This previously unmeasured influence on the environment may offer a new way of looking at biodiversity management and carbon storage for climate change.Underwater springs reveal how coral reefs respond to ocean acidification
Ocean acidification due to rising carbon dioxide levels will reduce the density of coral skeletons, making coral reefs more vulnerable to disruption and erosion, according to a new study of corals growing where submarine springs naturally lower the pH of seawater. The study is the first to show that corals are not able to fully acclimate to low pH conditions in nature.
