Global Climate Change01:50

Global Climate Change

24.1K
Throughout its ~4.5 billion year history, the Earth has experienced periods of warming and cooling. However, the current drastic increase in global temperatures is well outside of the Earth’s cyclic norms, and evidence for human-caused global climate change is compelling. Paleoclimatology, the study of ancient climate conditions, provides ample evidence for human-caused global climate change by comparing recent conditions with those in the past.

What is Climate?01:16

What is Climate?

18.2K
Climate refers to the prevailing weather conditions in a specific area over an extended period. As the saying goes, “Climate is what you expect. Weather is what you get.” Climate is influenced by geographic factors, such as latitude, terrain, and proximity to bodies of water.

Responses to Heat and Cold Stress

13.3K
Every organism has an optimum temperature range within which healthy growth and physiological functioning can occur. At the ends of this range, there will be a minimum and maximum temperature that interrupt biological processes.

Biodiversity and Human Values

13.0K
Human civilization relies on biodiversity in many ways. Sudden changes in species biodiversity result in environmental changes that can modify weather patterns and therefore human civilizations.

Preparedness and Phobias01:09

Preparedness and Phobias

91
Human fear responses to certain stimuli, such as darkness, heights, deep water, and blood, can often arise despite the absence of direct negative experiences. This phenomenon is rooted in evolutionary psychology, which posits that humans have developed a predisposition to fear stimuli that historically posed significant survival threats. This predisposition, known as preparedness, suggests that early humans who developed a fear of potentially dangerous entities, such as venomous snakes and...

Adaptations that Reduce Water Loss01:57

Adaptations that Reduce Water Loss

25.1K
Though evaporation from plant leaves drives transpiration, it also results in loss of water. Because water is critical for photosynthetic reactions and other cellular processes, evolutionary pressures on plants in different environments have driven the acquisition of adaptations that reduce water loss.

Area of Science:

  • Environmental Health
  • Veterinary Education
  • Climate Science

Background:

  • Climate change poses significant risks to animal and human health, necessitating specialized training for health professionals.
  • The American Association of Veterinary Medical Colleges (AAVMC) advocates for integrating climate change education into veterinary curricula.
  • Existing veterinary education lacks specific guidelines for implementing climate change content.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To propose a comprehensive educational framework for veterinary professionals on climate change.
  • To guide the development and dissemination of climate change educational resources within veterinary medicine.

Main Methods:

  • A literature review was conducted to identify key areas for climate change education in veterinary medicine.
  • Expert input was gathered to refine and validate the proposed educational framework.

Main Results:

  • A four-domain framework was developed: animal health management, resilient veterinary systems, mitigation of veterinary-related climate hazards, and community engagement.
  • Foundational knowledge and continuous learning are identified as crucial threads connecting the domains.

Conclusions:

  • The proposed framework provides a structured approach for veterinary schools to incorporate climate change education.
  • This initiative aims to equip veterinarians with the knowledge and skills to address the health implications of climate change.
