Extractions: skip to content An important function of the Program is to improve education about climate issues and contribute to informed public debate about the problem, its uncertainties, and the implications of various policy measures. To this end, the Program's research team is active in publishing the results of the work as it becomes available, in professional journals, on the internet, and the popular press. Publication in peer-reviewed literature is a crucial component of the communication effort, both for presentation of results to relevant professional audiences and for establishing credibility of our other, less-technical communications. Another important channel for distributing research results is the series of Program Reports and Technical Notes published on this website and distributed in hard copy without charge on request The Program's publications are available in three categories: Reports : the Program's Report Series is intended to communicate research results, and provide useful reviews and commentaries on various aspects of the climate issue.

Potential Effects Of Global Change On Bats

(Photograph by Dr. J. Scott Altenbach. Department of Biology, University of New Mexico) Other species of bats, especially in temperate zones, are insectivorous and collectively consume large quantities of insects. Just as pollinating activities of bats are important to plant ecology, the insectivorous food habits of bats play an important role in maintaining a balance among insect populations. Although studies of bats have demonstrated some flexibility in food habits over time, most species appear to be specialized to pursue and capture selected kinds or categories of insects. Furthermore, bats are dependent upon a reliable and consistent "supply" of prey, even though specific insect populations grow and disappear over the course of a summer season. Changes in worldwide insect population occurrence or distribution can be expected to affect numbers and species diversity of bats. Figure 2.

Extractions: Graduate Interdisciplinary Program The process of global change is now accepted as a global environmental reality with potentially unprecedented consequences for human populations. Issues arising from the human alteration of the global environment require the preparation of a new type of scholar who is trained to work across traditional boundaries of biophysical and social science disciplines. As part of the University of Arizona's Graduate Interdisciplinary Programs (GIDP), the Committee on Global Change offers a global change PhD minor. The program provides graduate students with a broad understanding of critical concepts and state-of-the-art skills in the rapidly evolving and cross-cutting themes of global change. The Global Change GIDP's mission is to help form and prepare the interdisciplinary scientific community who will contribute to an integrated understanding of the natural and social dynamics of global change. At the same time, the program is meant to create a forum within which scholars from different parts of the University can coalesce in innovative ways around the complex problems that constitute global change.

Then join Global Change in Denmark Nepal El Salvador and Tanzania in the spring of 2011. This autumn we will focus on global hunger. More than 800 million people still live in hunger - despite the world leaders' promises of ending poverty and hunger. Changes in the political system and structures are needed and this year's Global Change course will pressure decision makers and local parliamentarians to keep the promises and make global hunger their number one priority. By giving YOU and the other participants the tools to plan, facilitate, organise, campaign, and act, the course will enable you to create actual social change.
