Estuarine, Coastal and Shelf Science, 86, 1-20, doi:10.1016/j.ecss.2009.09.026. 25: Coasts), due primarily to land subsidence,5 although recent research suggests that changes in ocean circulation in the North Atlantic specifically, a weakening of the Gulf Stream may also play a role.6, The Northeast has experienced a greater recent increase in extreme precipitation than any other region in the United States; between 1958 and 2010, the Northeast saw more than a 70% increase in the amount of precipitation falling in very heavy events (defined as the heaviest 1% of all daily events) (see Ch. | Detail , Scavia, D., J.

In contrast, many insect pests, pathogens, and invasive plants like kudzu appear to be highly and positively responsive to recent and projected climate change.89 Their expansion will lead to an overall loss of biodiversity, function, and resilience of some ecosystems.

Karl, Melillo, J.T., and Peterson, T.C., Eds. The Northeast Climate Adaptation Science Center (NE CASC) provides the resources needed for climate impact science assessment, education, and stakeholder outreach throughout the region. The lower Chesapeake Bay is especially at risk due to high rates of sinking land (known as subsidence).96 Climate change and sea level rise are also likely to cause a number of ecological impacts, including declining water quality and clarity, increases in harmful algae and low oxygen (hypoxia) events, decreases in a number of species including eelgrass and seagrass beds, and changing interactions among trophic levels (positions in the food chain) leading to an increase in subtropical fish and shellfish species in the bay.66. Flash flooding washed out roads and bridges, undermined railroads, brought down trees and power lines, flooded homes and businesses, and damaged floodplain forests. URL | Detail , Titus, J. G., D. E.

Climate - Northeast Region In Connecticut, the risk for contracting a stomach illness while swimming significantly increased after a one inch precipitation event,49and studies have found associations between diarrheal illness among children and sewage discharge in Milwaukee.50 More frequent heavy rain events could therefore increase the incidence of waterborne disease. The Massachusetts Department of Public Health (MDPH) Bureau of Environmental Health (BEH) has assisted local and state partners in preparing for the health impact of climate change, with a focus on inland flooding, heat, air quality, sea level rise, and extreme weather events. Many towns and villages were isolated for days due to infrastructure impacts from river flooding (see also Ch. | Detail , Hayhoe, K., C. P. Wake, T. G. Huntington, L. Luo, M. D. Schwartz, J.

Investment in irrigation and drainage systems are relatively expensive options, and a challenge for farmers will be determining when the frequency of yield losses due to summer water deficits or flooding has or will become frequent enough to warrant such capital investments. The twelve Northeastern states have more than 180,000 farms, with $17 billion in annual sales.117 The regions ecosystems and agricultural systems are tightly interwoven, and both are vulnerable to a changing climate. It also provides critical ecosystem services. Looking at expected threats to the species from wildfire, invasive grasses, climate change, and habitat loss and fragmentation from 2040-69, the agency determined that "Joshua trees display . Based on our assessment, we have very high confidence for climate impacts (especially sea level rise and storm surge) on ecosystems; and we have high confidence for climate impacts on agriculture (reduced to some degree, compared to our level of confidence about ecosystems, by uncertainty about the efficacy and implementation of adaptation options). the winter northeast affects everyone differently. U.S. Climate Regions - National Centers for Environmental Information The more southern states within the region, including Delaware and Maryland, have a highly vulnerable land area because of a higher rate of sea level rise and relatively flat coastlines compared to the northern tier. If emissions continue to increase (as in the A2 scenario), warming of 4.5F to 10F is projected by the 2080s; if global emissions were reduced substantially (as in the B1 scenario), projected warming ranges from about 3F to 6F by the 2080s.4.

It is truly wonderful to experience such a variety of weather at any given time! Temperatures average in the low to mid-70s Fahrenheit (23 degrees C) and there are lots of sunny days, although humidity can stray into downright steamy at times pending occasional thunderstorms. Northeast cities have employed a variety of mechanisms to respond to climate change, including land-use planning, provisions to protect infrastructure, regulations related to the design and construction of buildings, and emergency preparation, response, and recovery.106 While significant progress has been made, local governments still face limitations of legal authority, geographic jurisdiction, and resource constraints that could be addressed through effective engagement and support from higher levels of government. | Detail , Iverson, L., A.

In the winter, average temps in the low 30s Fahrenheit (0 degrees C) merit warm coats, scarves, and gloves. When 71 town managers and officials in coastal Maine were surveyed as part of the statewide Sustainability Solutions Initiative, culverts, with their 50 to 65 year expected lifespan, emerged atop a wish list for help in adapting to climate change.116. Estuaries, 25, 149-164, doi:10.1007/BF02691304. Of the 12 states in the Northeast, 11 have developed adaptation plans for several sectors and 10 have released, or plan to release, statewide adaptation plans.102 Given the interconnectedness of climate change impacts and adaptation, multi-state coordination could help to ensure that information is shared efficiently and that emissions reduction and adaptation strategies do not operate at cross-purposes.

Two men feed wood into the factory's oven almost nonstop from midnight to 8 a.m., five days a week. That few adaptation plans have been implemented is confirmed in Technical Inputs submitted to the National Climate Assessment process as well as prior assessments (http://nca2009.globalchange.gov/northeast), which informed the 2009 NCA.10, Key uncertainties looking forward include: 1) the extent to which proposed adaptation strategies will be implemented given a range of factors including competing demands and limited funding; 2) the role of the private sector and individual action in adaptation, roles which can be difficult to document; 3) the extent of the federal role in adaptation planning and implementation; and 4) how changes in technology and the world economy may change the feasibility of specific adaptation strategies.11.

Another avenue for cold damage, even in a relatively warm winter, is when there is an extended warm period in late winter or early spring causing premature leaf-out or bloom, followed by a damaging frost event, as occurred throughout the Northeast in 200770 and again in 2012 when apple, grape, cherry, and other fruit crops were hard hit.71, Increased weed and pest pressure associated with longer growing seasons and warmer winters will be an increasingly important challenge; there are already examples of earlier arrival and increased populations of some insect pests such as corn earworm.64 Furthermore, many of the most aggressive weeds, such as kudzu, benefit more than crop plants from higher atmospheric carbon dioxide, and become more resistant to herbicide control.72 Many weeds respond better than most cash crops to increasing carbon dioxide concentrations, particularly invasive weeds with the so-called C3 photosynthetic pathway, and with rapid and expansive growth patterns, including large allocations of below-ground biomass, such as roots.73 Research also suggests that glyphosate (for example, Roundup), the most widely-used herbicide in the United States, loses its efficacy on weeds grown at the increased carbon dioxide levels likely to occur in the coming decades.74 To date, all weed/crop competition studies where the photosynthetic pathway is the same for both species favor weed growth over crop growth as carbon dioxide is increased.72, Effects of rising temperatures on the Northeasts ecosystems have already been clearly observed (see also Ch.
