Climate Change

26 images Created 7 Feb 2011

Images and photos depicting or illustrating climate change. Processes that can affect climate change include solar radiation, orogeny, continental drift, deviations in Earth's orbit and changes in greenhouse gas concentrations. When attributed to human activity, climate change is synonymous with global warming. Trees and glaciers provide the most visible indications of the effects of climate change.

  • Joshua Tree (Yucca brevifolia) in the Mojave Desert, is ironically inundated by surface rain water runoff after a heavy rain storm in Joshua Tree National Park, California.  Several studies have been done on these centuries-old trees.  In a current study, ecologists from the US Geological Survey linked climate change to population decline and are modeling the impacts of climate change on their survival, and the possibility that 90 percent will be wiped out of their current range (and out of this national park) in 60 to 90 years.

  • Continuous pumping is required from a system of channels and dikes around the Salton Sea to limit flooding of farmlands, a wildlife refuge and nearby geothermal energy plants.  The Sonny Bono Salton Sea Wildlife Refuge (EL -227ft) is located along the course of the Pacific Flyway in the Imperial Valley of California.  Flooding by the Salton Sea has reduced the manageable area from 36,700 acres to 2,200 acres.  The dikes now limit further encroachment.

  • Double-crested Cormorants (Phalacrocorax auritus) perch on a drowned tree near Obsidian Butte, Sonny Bono Salton Sea Wildlife Refuge (EL -227ft).  This habitat for migratory birds is located along the course of the Pacific Flyway in the Imperial Valley of California.  Flooding by the Salton Sea has reduced the manageable area from 36,700 acres to 2,200 acres.  Dykes (dikes) now limit further encroachment.

  • Dead camelthorn trees (Acacia erioloba) at Dead Vlei, Namib Desert, Namibia. The clay pan was formed after rainfall and flooding of the Tsauchab River.  Once abundant water allowed camel thorn trees to thrive.  Climate change brought drought, which killed the trees.  The dunes encroached and isolated the pan.  The extreme dryness preserves the trees from decomposing.

  • Reflection of three dead trees near Red Hill Marina, Hazard Tract, Salton Sea, California.  Sonny Bono Salton Sea Wildlife Refuge (EL -227ft), located along the course of the Pacific Flyway in the Imperial Valley of California.  Flooding by the Salton Sea has reduced the manageable area from 36,700 acres to 2,200 acres.  Dykes (dikes) now limit further encroachment.

  • Mount St Helens ash eruption, 2005, viewed from Portland, Oregon.  As if to signal the 25th anniversary of the devastating 1980 eruption, Mount St. Helens released this symbolic outpouring of ash and steam at 17:30 on Tuesday evening, March 8, 2005.  Volcanic ash rose to 36,000 feet and fell as far away as 125 miles east of the mountain. The eruption began with practically no warning, an hour after a magnitude 2.0 earthquake on the volcano's east side, and lasted 30 minutes.  Mount St. Helens, a 8,364-foot (2550m) volcano, is located about 40 miles (60km) northeast of Vancouver, Washington, Portland's sister city across the Columbia River which divides the states of Oregon and Washington.  The river in the photograph is the Willamette River, which divides Portland's east and west sides.  The Columbia River is not visible in this image; it runs perpendicular to the Willamette.  Mount St. Helens was named for British diplomat Alleyne Fitzherbert whose title was Baron St. Helens.  The mountain was named by Commander George Vancouver and the officers of H.M.S. Discovery while exploring the northern Pacific coast from 1792 to 1794.  Mount St. Helens erupted violently at 08:32 on Sunday, May 18, 1980.  Nikon F4S, 70-300/4-5.6D. Fuji RVP100F..

  • Quiver trees (Aloe dichotoma), or Kokerboom in Afrikaans, silhoetted against an African dusk near Keetmanshoop in the Karas Region of Southern Namibia. This tree aloe survives in a small area of the southern Namibia desert, where summer temperatures exceed 45° C (113°F).

  • September 8, 2020 - Wildfire smoke begins to engulf the Portland Metro area at sunset on Tuesday September 8, 2020. Viewed from Mount Tabor towards Kelly Butte (L) and Mount Scott (R). Smoke from multiple fires burning in Clackamas County, and as close as Estacada, is moving north towards Portland as fires spread and strong easterly blocking winds in the Columbia Gorge subside.
