Christian Science Monitor: Across much of the United States, regional droughts and heatwaves are appearing simultaneously more frequently, imposing more-extreme conditions than either would deliver separately, according to a new study. California's four-year drought is a case in point, says Amir AghaKouchak, a civil engineer at the University of California at Irvine and the new study's senior author. Looking only at 2014 and using precipitation as the indicator, "it is a serious drought, but it is not that extreme," he says....

Droughts and Heat Waves Are Occurring Together
2015-09-03 13:57:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Clapway: Stories of extended droughts and heat waves have repeatedly been making news headlines. According to scientists, these climatic weather fluctuations are occurring much more frequently, further shedding light on the potentially devastating effects of climate change. To make matters even worse, a study, published Monday in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, now reports that these extremes are also more likely to occur together.

Minimizing heat stress impact on breeding stock's performance
2015-08-31 17:58:00| National Hog Farmer
The hot days of summer can have significant impact on productivity and health of all pigs as elevated temperatures often reduces the fertility of gilts, sows and boars. Research has shown that females have a prolong return to estrus or fails to return to estrus after weaning, reducing conception rates. read more

NASA Study Quantifies Plants' Role in Mitigating Urban Heat Island Effect

Yale Environment 360: The presence or scarcity of vegetation is an essential factor in determining how much urban areas heat up, according to a NASA study. Using data from multiple satellites, the researchers found that areas covered in part by impervious surfaces such as asphalt, concrete, and steel had an average summer temperature 3.4 degrees F higher than nearby rural areas. The highest U.S. urban temperatures compared to surrounding areas were along the Interstate-95 corridor from Boston to Washington and around...
