Climate change will make life wetter for most Norwegians in the years to come. A rainier climate is expected nationwide, with the possible exception of southern Norway in the summers. http://phys.org/news281178204.html Space & Earth Wed, 27 Feb 2013 09:03:38 EST news281178204 Across much of Norway, the agricultural growing season could become up to two months longer due to climate change. A research project has been studying the potential and challenges inherent in such a scenario. http://phys.org/news269078611.html Space & Earth Wed, 10 Oct 2012 09:03:37 EST news269078611 A future warmer climate will produce different effects in different lakes. Researchers from Lund University in Sweden have now been able to explain that the effects of climate change depend on what organisms are dominant in the lake. Algal blooms will increase, especially of toxic blue-green algae. http://phys.org/news268569144.html Space & Earth Thu, 04 Oct 2012 11:32:37 EST news268569144 A new EU study by a team of Austrian, French and Norwegian researchers has found that rising temperatures as a result of climate change will have differing genetic consequences within single Arctic plant species. It is hoped that these new results will help focus future conservation efforts in the region and help scientists prioritise which species are important to conserve. http://phys.org/news247133747.html Biology Mon, 30 Jan 2012 08:16:13 EST news247133747 Science has long believed that a warmer climate will increase river runoff to the Baltic Sea, thus making the inland sea less salty. However, a new extensive study from the University of Gothenburg reveals that the effect will probably be the opposite: climate change will reduce river runoff and increase salinity in the Baltic Sea. http://phys.org/news194611417.html Space & Earth Tue, 01 Jun 2010 11:44:12 EST news194611417 Climate models have long predicted that global warming will increase the intensity of extreme precipitation events. A new study conducted at the University of Miami and the University of Reading (U.K.) provides the first observational evidence to confirm the link between a warmer climate and more powerful rainstorms. http://phys.org/news137336622.html Space & Earth Thu, 07 Aug 2008 14:03:42 EST news137336622
