Newitz, Annalee (2013): Scatter, adapt, and remember

Newitz, Annalee (2013): Scatter, adapt, and remember. How humans will survive a mass extinction. 1st ed. New York: Doubleday. ISBN 978-0385535915

„In its 4.5 billion–year history, life on Earth has been almost erased at least half a dozen times: shattered by asteroid impacts, entombed in ice, smothered by methane, and torn apart by unfathomably powerful megavolcanoes. And we know that another global disaster is eventually headed our way. Can we survive it? How?“

Couce, E.; et al. (2013): Tropical coral reef habitat in a geoengineered, high-CO 2 world

Couce, E.; Irvine, P. J.; Gregorie, L. J.; Ridgwell, A.; Hendy, E. J. (2013): Tropical coral reef habitat in a geoengineered, high-CO 2 world. In Geophys. Res. Lett., pp. n/a. DOI 10.1002/grl.50340.

“ We apply statistical Bioclimatic Envelope Models to project changes in shallow water tropical coral reef habitat as a single niche (without resolving biodiversity or community composition) under various representative concentration pathway and SRM scenarios, until 2070.“
