Bend Bulletin: The National Parks Service is partnering with citizen scientists to track when plant species flower, leaf out or set seed. The way plants grow gives clues to changes in the environment and the impact of climate change. Plants, as we know, have the most sensitive biological responses to climate change, said Nancy Fernandez, a climate change intern with Lewis and Clark National Historical Park. They are sensitive to temperature change and precipitation. Fernandez discussed plant responses to...

Rocky Mountain meltdown: CU scientists find glaciers shrinking

Denver Post: Colorado scientists using ground-penetrating radar have found climate change is shrinking glaciers and other icy terrain in the Rocky Mountains -- raising concerns about water supplies. The Arikaree Glacier -- likely more than 1,000 years old -- has been thinning by about 1 meter a year over the past 15 years and will disappear completely in 25 years, a team of scientists concluded. Their peer-reviewed research, unveiled Tuesday, found that rock glaciers and other ice that holds water west...
