The physics of the warming of Lake Tanganyika by climate change

Persistent unstable atmospheric boundary layer enhances sensible and latent heat loss in a tropical Great Lake - Lake Tanganyika

Physiology on a landscape scale: Plant-animal interactions

We explore in this paper how animals can be affected by variation in climate, topography, vegetation characteristics, and body size. We utilize new spatially explicit state-of-the-art models that incorporate principles from heat and mass transfer engineering, physiology, morphology, and behavior that have been modified to provide spatially explicit hypotheses using GIS. We demonstrate how temporal and spatial changes in microclimate resulting from differences in topography and vegetation cover alter animal energetics, and behavior.
