Mass weather events (e.g. tropical cyclones, severe emersions and mortalities have also been storms and droughts) have been identified as recorded in marine crayfish in hypoxic serious and emerging threats to the World’s conditions (Jasus lalandii H. Milne Edwards) freshwater crayfish. This paper documents a (Cockroft, 2001). It is also known that some single, high intensity rainfall event (in an area freshwater crayfish species are particularly known for phenomenal rainfall events) that led sensitive to severe flooding events (Parkyn & to a flash flood and mass mortality of Euastacus Collier, 2004; Meyer et al., 2007) and mass valentulus in the Numinbah Valley of southeast emersions/strandings have been reported in Queensland in 2008. -

A Comparison of Climate Change Impacts on Park Values on Four Queensland World Heritage National Parks in Australia
A comparison of climate change impacts on park values on four Queensland World Heritage National Parks in Australia Sherri L Tanner-McAllister, Jonathan Rhodes, Marc Hockings Abstract Protected areas will vary in how they respond to climate related threats and impacts. An important step in adapting protected area management to respond to climate change is identifying how protected areas and their values may be impacted. This requires an understanding of the ecological and social system impacting on the particular values so that consideration of management options and issues can be informed by this understanding. A set of Bayesian belief networks were developed to assess impacts and management issues for three key values (stream-dwelling frogs, cool temperate forest and recreational walking access) across four National Parks (Springbrook, Lamington, Mount Barney and Main Range) in Queensland, Australia. The aim was to assess how those values may be impacted by climate change, how the parks differ in relation to likely impact and options for management adaptation. We observed, depending on a protected area’s physical and socio-ecological characteristics, that the values were likely to be differently affected across the parks and management responses will need to take account of these differences. Introduction Climate change is one of the most significant issues facing our natural environment (Sommer et al. 2010). Globally, there has been detectable increases in land and ocean surface temperatures, sea temperatures, ocean salinity and sea levels over the last three decades (IPCC 2013; Savage & Vellend 2015). Climate change projections of an increase in average temperatures are likely to exceed 1.5 - 2oC (relative to 1850 to 1900) by the end of this century (IPCC 2013). -
