Climate change is amplifying the intensity and likelihood of heat waves during severe droughts in the southern plains and southwest United States, according to a new study by a University of Arkansas researcher.

"We are delighted to select associate professor Celina Suarez as the 2019 OMNI Keeling/Hansen Climate Science Awardee," said Peter Ungar, disꢀnguished professor in the Department of Anthropology and director of the Environmental Dynamics Program. "Dr. Suarez is a paleontologist who studies impact of climate change on life over very long ꢀme scales. She's had great success in funding her research of late, and her research has been published in both the best journals in her discipline, and in high-impact general interest venues." ern US due to man-made climate change since the late 19th century,” said Cheng. “By contrast, the drought-heatwave relaꢀonship over northern US regions undergoes liꢁle change in the warmed climate.”
The findings raise the idea of a self-reinforcing climate loop: as a region’s climate becomes more arid due to climate change, droughts become hoꢁer, further reducing soil moisture.
“Overall, these results indicate that strengthened land-atmosphere feedback is a significant physical driver for increasing occurrences of drought-related extreme heat waves, parꢀcularly over the semi-arid and arid regions of the United States,” the report states.
Suarez's research focuses on using trace element and stable isotope geochemistry of fossil vertebrates and invertebrates to understand paleoecology, paleoclimatology, and taphonomy of ancient terrestrial ecosystems. She is parꢀcularly interested in past greenhouse climates and major climate shiſts such as the mid-Cretaceous thermal maximum and the end Triassic exꢀncꢀon.

    Mr. Caleb Osborne and Director Becky Keogh: I Hereby Express My Strong Opposition to Issuing a Permit to Spread Hog Feces and Ur

    From: John Van Brahana To: Water Draft Permit Comment Cc: John Van Brahana Subject: C&H Hog Farms Request--Do NOT Approve Date: Thursday, April 06, 2017 10:43:44 AM Mr. Caleb Osborne and Director Becky Keogh: I hereby express my strong opposition to issuing a permit to spread hog feces and urine on fields, and storage of said wastes in lagoons by C&H Hog Farms in Big Creek, near Mt. Judea, Arkansas. It is my understanding that the state of Arkansas requires any facility with a National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) discharge permit be required to submit an application for a Construction Permit for the planned facility from a registered professional engineer (P.E). in the Arkansas Department of Environmental Quality, so the design plans can be reviewed and approved prior to construction of the facility. In the case of C&H Hog Farms, I have been unable to find any evidence that a construction permit was ever submitted for approval. The Clean Water Act prohibits anybody from discharging "pollutants" through a "point source" into a "water of the United States" unless they have an NPDES permit. The permit will contain limits on what can be discharged, with monitoring and reporting requirements, and other provisions to ensure that the discharge does not hurt water quality or people's health. In essence, the permit translates general requirements of the Clean Water Act into specific provisions tailored to the operations of each entity discharging pollutants. This Construction Authorization is typically covered under a State Permit. Plans and specifications for the construction of any facility with a planned discharge, which included C&H Farms, are typically submitted with the application package to be reviewed by a Professional Engineer (P.E.) to determine if the design plans were adequate for the facility.

    Thanks This Will Be Added to the Planning Commission Comments

    Subject: Re: Charlie Craig State Fish Hatchery preservation Date: Monday, February 15, 2021 10:09:47 AM Thanks this will be added to the planning commission comments Thanks Bill Edwards Mayor of Centerton, Arkansas (479) 795-2750 ext 26 > On Feb 15, 2021, at 10:07 AM, Gail Pianalto wrote: > I am writing to request that you reconsider allowing a 495 family apartment complex (sixteen 3-story buildings < and a golf course) to be installed right beside the Charlie Craig State Fish Hatchery. The hatchery is designated an Audubon Important Bird Area and is critical to so many resident and migrating birds! This will decimate it, and our birds already have so few remaining quality habitat. Please do not allow profit to take precedence over preserving this vital bird habitat. > Respectfully, > Leslie Gail Pianalto > > Sent from my iPhone Subject: Charlie Craig Fish Hatchery Date: Monday, February 15, 2021 1:26:37 PM I am alarmed and distressed to read that a 495 unit apartment complex and golf course is planned for development adjacent to the Charlie Craig State Fish Hatchery. The hatchery is a valuable asset to the city of Centerton and is an oasis in a fast developing area. The hatchery is designated an Audubon Important Bird Area and is critical to many resident and migrating birds. The area around it is an important buffer zone that should be protected from development to ensure that birds have habitat to survive and congregate. I am a frequent visitor to the hatchery and, along with many others, realize that this is a valuable attraction for Centerton.
