paleoclimatology
Climate Change
Effects
Lack of rainfall
This could lead to
megadroughts
Ecology :
is the study of
studied by
Ecologists
Glaciology
study of
internal dynamics and effects of glaciers.
Cryoconite Holes
holes melt
hydrologic system
Glacier hydrology
sediments
get released into bodies of water
Vital for the
nutrition
of the ecosystem
studied by
A
glaciologist
Effects
Snow lines
lower
continents drier
monsoons weaker
Ice melting
this could lead to
endangerment
of animals
food chain
unstabilized
apex predators
dying
Is the study of
ancient climates
studied by
archaeologists
in the past, Earth's climate was either much warmer or much colder than it is today
importance of this study
understanding how the climate system works--and how it might change in the future
relationships among living organisms
Relationships:
Mutualism
Antagonistic
Competition
(between native and nonnative species)
effects
Native species
lose food suply
disturbance in the food chain and the
niches
of other animals
invasive species
Not-native, could harm an environment
plant reproduction
pollinators
pollination
Fruit sets
result of pollinated plants
key for plant reproduction
Birds, bats, butterflies, moths, flies, beetles, wasps, small mammals, and most importantly, bees
Ice melting
increases coastal
erosion
and elevates storm
surge
Native species
currently living in an area, part of the food chain/web.
many
invertebrates, Rotifers and Tardigrades
are found within this sediment.
