Projected Effects of Climate Change( observed)Airshed Effects: Increase in air temperatures Increase in precipitable waterin warmer atmosphere Change in frequency andintensity of stormsNearshore Effects: Increase in watertemperature Increase in evaporationInlake Effects: Increase in water temperature Higher evaporative losses from lakes Less ice cover (shorter duration)Watershed Effects: Warmer air temperatures More precipitation (decreases inkey seasons) Less winter precipitation assnowfall and more rain Less snowpack More intense precipitationevents Increase in evapotranspiration
Our Changing Climate
Management Challenges forthe Great Lakes Basin Our ability to detect the occurrence ofchemicals in environmental media continues toimprove. With this in mind, how do we balanceactual risks to the environment/ human healthwith perceived risks?
