Milder winters, warm summers and more flooding by 2080s, study finds
Global warming is having a clear impact on the Burrishoole river catchment area being studied by researchers at the Mayo institute, in collaboration with UCD and Trinity College. The computer models being analysed will assist Irish fisheries and land use managers to plan ahead for the future impacts of climate change on sensitive peatland river catchments.
This work has been developed as part of the NDP-funded RESCALE project (Review and Simulate Climate and Catchment Responses at Burrishoole), newly launched by Agriculture, Fisheries and Food Minister, Brendan Smith.
