The movement and distribution of marine organisms has always been a main focal point of marine studies. With organisms such as Ctenophora, what role does temperature and rainfall play in their movements? To get a better understanding of how population densities change with weather, samples were taken during different periods of precipitation and temperature; rain the day before, clear the day before, warm temperatures, and cool temperatures. In the end, there were minor differences between the…

While too much sunlight will cause plants to dry, and ample rain will clog their roots…

Climate change in Wisconsin will increase the frequency and amounts of rainwater and runoff. According to WICCA “there is growing scientific knowledge about the potential frequency of large rainfalls is sufficient to warrant immediate changes in the methods used to design and manage storm water-related infrastructure.” The WICCI has determined that it is likely that Wisconsin will experience “wetter conditions and high water levels” (WICCI), due to climate change. Wisconsin will also have warmer…
