Sep 23, 2019 · Climate change impacts the world’s water in complex ways. Consider a water cycle diagram, like the one below; global warming is altering nearly every stage in the diagram. These changes will put pressure on drinking water supplies, food production, property values, and more, in the U.S. and all around the world. Image: UK Met Office

Water bodies can sequester carbon — and they can also release emissions. Reducing these emissions and exploring ways of increasing their potential for carbon uptake is at the center of new climate research at YSE.
Water and climate change are inextricably linked. Extreme weather events are making water more scarce, more unpredictable, more polluted or all three. These impacts throughout the water cycle threaten sustainable development, biodiversity, and people’s access to water and sanitation.
Jun 21, 2023 · In the past two decades, climate science researchers have debated over two hypothesized frameworks for trends in water availability under climate change: that wet will get wetter and dry will...
Climate change affects evaporation and precipitation. Climate change is likely causing parts of the water cycle to speed up as warming global temperatures increase the rate of evaporation worldwide. More evaporation is causing more precipitation, on average.
Jan 26, 2024 · Excess runoff eventually travels to larger bodies of water like lakes, estuaries, and the ocean, polluting the water supply and limiting water access for humans and ecosystems. When fertilizers from farming wash into lakes and the ocean, they promote the rapid growth of algae.
