    Extractions: Atmospheric concentrations of carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide, and other greenhouse gases have increased substantially since pre-industrial times, and are expected to continue their steep rate of increase if current emission patterns continue. The major human source of greenhouse gas emissions is burning fossil fuels. ERS research focuses on how changes in global climate may affect both U.S. and world agricultural production mitigate climate change by reducing emissions or increasing carbon sequestration.

    Extractions: CGC Awarded Duke Energy Gift for Climate Change Policy Partnership Click here for a CGC Seminar Calendar quick guide Global change research has become increasingly broad in spatial extent and focused at the interface of traditional disciplines. Global changes, ranging from greenhouse warming and sea level rise to shifts in land use and urbanization, pose fundamental challenges for basic research in environmental science. The Center on Global Change at Duke University was established in response to rapid change in society's demands on science and a consequent shift in the way environmental science is done. Its goals are to develop the scientific and technical basis for recognizing and forecasting changes in the Earth's biotic environment and to foster interdisciplinary graduate training in global change. Center activities include focused working groups that target specific research topics, as well as seminars, short courses and workshops. The organization of the Center on Global Change is intended to provide for a broad-based research and training program that might otherwise not occur. The structure is designed to provide a framework for multiple, but explicit, directions of scientific inquiry. The focus on working groups that address specific research needs is intended to facilitate interdisciplinary research programs that need the initial support often difficult to obtain through traditional funding mechanisms.

    Extractions: University of California, Irvine June 1997 Issue Guide: Global Change by Kenneth B. Pierce Jr. This issue guide is designed to give a brief introduction to the study of Global Change and provide links to the most up to date research available. Atmospheric Change Global Warming Ozone Depletion Biogeochemical Cycles ... Links to Other Sites National Science Foundation the United Nations , the International Geosphere-Biosphere Project (Walker, 1994), the World Wildlife Fund for Nature and many other nations and international organizations. One of the most heated debates on global change is the possibility of global warming Carbon Dioxide Information Analysis Center , where David Keeling's original data can be viewed. In 1986, three british scientists published a landmark article in the journal Nature showing wide yearly fluctuations in stratospheric ozone over the Antarctic. Statospheric ozone is responsible for most of the atmosphere's absorption of UV-B radiation. UV-B radiation degrades DNA which can induce many forms of cancer. The ozone hole over the Antarctic is derived from a complex mixture of the polar vortex during the Antartic winter (June-September) and heterogeneous chlorine chemistry in polar stratospheric clouds. Fragmentation of native habitat is one of the biggest causes of extinctions. A single road bisecting a habitat patch cuts the habitat in half effectively reducing the individual population sizes in half. Different creatures are variably sensitive to fragmentation. Birds can access different patches separated by small divisions but small mammals, being less mobile, can be seriously affected. Conversion of habitat to farm land or commercial uses not only divided habitat it increases the relative amount of habitat edge. The edge of an area provides a buffer between two different habitat types. As habitat is fragmented not only is the land divided but by the act of division part of the habitat is converted to buffer or edge which may support a different flora and fauna from the original habitat. Additionally microclimate conditions can be altered by a change in tree structure, creation or erosion channels or road cuts and altered solar flux (Saunders, 1991).

    http://www.fhwa.dot.gov/environment/global.htm
    
    Extractions: Environment FHWA HEP Environment Air Quality The prospect of global warming caused by an increase in greenhouse gas emissions has become a major policy issue during the last two decades. The transportation sector is currently responsible for approximately one-quarter of greenhouse gas emissions in the United States and is expected to be one of the fastest growing sources of greenhouse gas emissions in the foreseeable future, due to increased demand for motor gasoline, jet fuel, and diesel fuel. In May 1999, the DOT Center for Climate Change and Environmental Forecasting was created to insure that these critical issues were addressed. The Center is the focal point in the DOT of technical expertise on transportation and climate change. Through strategic research, policy analysis, partnerships and outreach, the Center creates comprehensive and multi-modal approaches to reduce transportation-related greenhouse gases. The Center advances timely and effective transportation initiatives to reduce greenhouse gases and preserve the transportation infrastructure. The Center develops and evaluates strategies, and promotes technologies, which encourage livable communities by fostering economic development, mobility, safety, and social equity. The FHWA plays an integral role in Center activities and the selection of research projects. FHWA has also conducted research, separate from the Center, on climate change issues.
