‘Game-changing’ findings for sustainable hydrogen production
Hydrogen fuel could be a more viable alternative to traditional fossil fuels, according to University of Surrey researchers who have found that a type of metal-free catalysts could contribute to the development of cost-effective and sustainable hydrogen production technologies.
Caribou have been using same Arctic calving grounds for 3,000 years
Caribou have been using the same Arctic calving grounds for more than 3,000 years. Female caribou shed their antlers within days of giving birth, leaving behind a record of their annual travels across Alaska and Canada's Yukon that persists on the cold tundra for hundreds or even thousands of years....
Killer whale moms forgo future offspring for benefit of full-grown sons
It's not unusual for parents and especially mothers to sacrifice their own future success for the sake of their offspring. Now a new study shows that killer whale mothers take this to a surprising extreme. They sacrifice their own reproductive success to care for their sons, even after those sons...
New Zealand one of few island nations with potential to produce enough food in a nuclear winter, researchers say
New Zealand is one of only a few island nations that could continue to produce enough food to feed its population in a nuclear winter, researchers have found.
Surprises in sea turtle genes could help them adapt to a rapidly changing world
Around 100 million years ago, a group of land-dwelling turtles took to the oceans, eventually evolving into the sea turtles that we know today. However, the genetic foundations that have enabled them to thrive in oceans throughout the world have remained largely unknown.
Small Isolated Wetlands Are Pollution-Catching Powerhouses
Small isolated wetlands that are full for only part of the year are often the first to be removed for development or agriculture, but a new study shows that they can be twice as effective in protecting downstream lake or river ecosystems than if they were connected to them.
Changing Climate Conditions Likely Facilitated Early Human Migration to the Americas at Key Intervals, Research Suggests
Researchers have pinpointed two intervals when ice and ocean conditions would have been favorable to support early human migration from Asia to North America late in the last ice age, a new paper published today in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences shows.
Pacific Northwest Heat Dome Tree Damage More About Temperature Than Drought, Scientists Say
Widespread tree scorch in the Pacific Northwest that became visible shortly after multiple days of record-setting, triple-digit temperatures in June 2021 was more attributable to heat than to drought conditions, Oregon State University researchers say.
Devastating cost of future coastal flooding for many developing nations predicted in new study
New global modelling predicts the devastating socioeconomic impacts of future extreme coastal flooding for developing nations caused by climate change, with Asia, West Africa and Egypt facing severe costs in the coming decades.
