The drought in South -Western America is likely to run to the rest of the 21st century and possibly shifted heat distribution to the Pacific Ocean as a global warming, according to A Study Published last week under the leadership of researchers at the University of Texas in Austin.

Using the Rocky Mountains, the Paleoclimatology records and the sediment core collected in the climate model, researchers found that the warming operated by the greenhouse gas emissions has changed the atmospheric and sea heat patterns in the northern Pacific Ocean in a way, which is known as a negative phase of Prashant Decadel Oscals (PDOs). But in this case, the incident may last longer than the PDO’s normal 30 -year cycle.

“If the sea surface temperature in the northern Pacific was the result of the processes related to the pattern stochastic. [random] Variation in the last one or two decades, we were only very inauspicious, like a really poor roll of dice, “The lead writer of the study and a PhD student in geology at the University of Texas at Austin said. The result of bad luck.”

Currently, the South-Western US is experiencing a megadroff, resulting in dryness of the landscape, drying up for a long time of the region due to climate change and excess of water of the region. It is inspired by major rivers and their basins, such as Colorado and Rio Grande rivers. low current And decline Water stored in underground aquifersWhich is forcing states and communities to assume rapidly with low water supply. Farmers have cut the amount of water back which they use. The cities are searching for new water supply. And states, tribes and federal agencies are engaged in stress Dialogue How to manage declining resources like Colorado River.
