Jane Win-Shih Liu is a Chinese-American computer scientist known for her work on real-time computing.She is a professor emerita at the University of Illinois at Urbana–Champaign, Shun Hing Honorary Chair Professor of Computer Science at National Tsing Hua University, a distinguished visiting fellow of the Academia Sinica, and the former editor-in-chief of IEEE Transactions on Computers.
The three main reasons why global warming causes sea levels to rise are the expansion of oceans due to heating, water inflow from melting ice sheets and water inflow from glaciers. Other factors affecting sea level rise include changes in snow mass, and flow from terrestrial water storage, though the contribution from these is thought to be ...
Global map of low and declining oxygen levels in the open ocean and coastal waters. The map indicates coastal sites where anthropogenic nutrients have resulted in oxygen declines to less than 2 mg L –1 (red dots), as well as ocean oxygen minimum zones at 300 metres (blue shaded regions). [55]
There is now ample evidence that greater hydrologic variability and climate change have had a profound impact on the water sector, and will continue to do so. This will show up in the hydrologic cycle, water availability, water demand, and water allocation at the global, regional, basin, and local levels. [54]

The 2007 IPCC Fourth Assessment Report concluded that over the last three decades human-induced warming had likely had an influence on many biological systems. [25] [26] [27] The Sixth Assessment Report found that half of all species with long-term data had shifted their ranges poleward (or upward for mountain species).
It therefore can be seen as a contributor to global warming. [28] Many ecological effects will be compounded by climate change as well, as ambient temperature rises in water bodies. [11] Spacial and climatic factors can impact the severity of water warming due to thermal pollution. High wind speeds tend to increase the impact of thermal pollution.
The pace of change and the evidence of harm have increased markedly over the last five years. The time to control greenhouse gas emissions is now." [7] In 2008, the Federation of Australian Scientific and Technological Societies published FASTS Statement on Climate Change, which states, Global climate change is real and measurable. ...
