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

Get late-breaking information from the NOAA National Weather Service Storm Prediction Center (http://www.spc.noaa.gov/).Global April temperatures were 13th highest on record; Year-to-date is eighth warmest period on record; North American snow cover was third largest
According to NOAA scientists, April 2013 was also the 37th consecutive April and 338th consecutive month (more than 28 years) with a global temperature above the 20th-century average.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

Volcanoes cause climate gas concentrations to vary
Trace gases and aerosols are major factors influencing the climate. With the help of highly complex installations, such as MIPAS on board of the ENVISAT satellite, researchers try to better understand the processes in the upper atmosphere. Now, scientists have completed a comprehensive overview of sulfur dioxide measurements.Climate change and wildfire
Concerns continue to grow about the effects of climate change on fire. Wildfires are expected to increase 50 percent across the United States under a changing climate, over 100 percent in areas of the West by 2050 as projected by some studies. Of equal concern to scientists and policymakers alike are the atmospheric effects of wildfire emissions on climate.Origins of human culture linked to rapid climate change
Rapid climate change during the Middle Stone Age, between 80,000 and 40,000 years ago, sparked surges in cultural innovation in early modern human populations, according to new research.
