Increasing Heat Is Super-charging Arctic Climate and Weather Extremes

“We know that mean temperatures are rising, and the Arctic is commonly considered an indicator of global changes due to its higher sensitivity to any perturbation of external and internal forcings,” says Xiangdong Zhang, research professor at North Carolina State University and senior scientist at the North Carolina Institute for Climate Studies.

Birds Went Silent During the Great North American Eclipse

Scientific American
Scientists have only recently taken a stronger interest in studying the effects of eclipses on animals, says biologist Adam Hartstone-Rose of North Carolina State University. It’s not for lack of curiosity, he adds, but because total solar eclipses are extremely rare events that almost never occur multiple times in the same location, complicating plans for in-depth site studies.

Blue Crab Populations Decline After Juvenile Stage: Study

Coastal Review
The research shows that the juvenile blue crab population numbers from the late 1990s and the late 2010s are similar, and point to a “potential population bottleneck occurring in later life stages.” But the bottleneck is not the result of recruitment overfishing, which “occurs when the spawning stock of a population has been depleted to the extent that there are insufficient adults to produce the required number of recruits to replenish the population.” Lead author of the study, Erin Voigt, is a doctoral candidate in David Eggleston’s lab in the North Carolina State University’s Department of Marine, Earth and Atmospheric Sciences.
