Hydroclimatology

HydrologyResearch
Global warming directly affects water in the atmosphere and on land. An intensification of evaporation lifts moisture from the surface to the atmosphere where clouds grow larger and lead to increasing total precipitation. Even though the global precipitation rate is increasing, the local and intra-seasonal Last updated:

Algae

  These phytoplankton form the bottom of the food chain in the sea and changes in the biomass and species distribution affect the entire marine ecosystem.   of the sea has led to increased algal growth which in turn causes for example reduced visibility, an increase in dead zones (low oxygen) and Last updated:
