Post: The island of Kiritimati is one of the worlds most remote places -- one of several dozen atolls making up the tiny island nation of Kiribati, a speck in the Pacific Ocean more than a thousand miles south of Hawaii. But, isolated as it is, news of its devastated coral is turning heads around the world.

Mongabary: Sea level rise severely threatens small islands across the globe. But now, these islands have another cause for worry reduced freshwater access and increasing aridity due to climate change. According to a new study published in Nature Climate, climate change may dry out 73 percent of the worlds small islands by 2050.

How climate change dries up mountain streams

PhysOrg: The western United States relies on mountain snow for its water supply. Water stored as snow in the mountains during winter replenishes groundwater and drives river runoff in spring, filling reservoirs for use later in summer. But how could a warming globe and a changing climate interrupt this process? In a new study in Environmental Research Letters, a team of hydrologists that includes University of Utah professor Paul Brooks answers...
