After a six-year process, the leading world body for the assessment of climate change, the UN’s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), has released their final Synthesis Report that summarizes what we know about climate change and how to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
Climate Change Threatens Global Fisheries
The diet quality of fish across large parts of the world’s oceans could decline by up to 10 per cent as climate change impacts an integral part of marine food chains, a major study has found.
Ancient genomes reveal immunity adaptation in early farmers
Research has revealed that diversity in genes coding for immunity may have facilitated adaptation to farming lifestyles in prehistoric periods.
Measuring Impacts of Climate Change on Heritage to Be Explored at Conference
Issues around the loss of coastal heritage due to climate change and how these can be effectively addressed in policy will be discussed during a major conference taking place at the University of East Anglia (UEA) next week.
Habitat Will Dictate Whether Ground Beetles Win or Lose Against Climate Change
The success of North American crops from corn to Christmas trees partly depends on a relatively invisible component of the food web — ground beetles. Nearly 2,000 species of ground beetle live in North America.
Stanford Study Finds Wastewater Disposal From Oil Production Triggered Major Earthquake in Canada
A new study by Stanford University researchers has found that one of the most powerful earthquakes ever recorded in Alberta, Canada, was likely caused by oil and gas activity.
Photosynthesis ‘hack’ could lead to new ways of generating renewable energy
Researchers have 'hacked' the earliest stages of photosynthesis, the natural machine that powers the vast majority of life on Earth, and discovered new ways to extract energy from the process, a finding that could lead to new ways of generating clean fuel and renewable energy.
New water treatment zaps ‘forever chemicals’ for good
Engineers have developed a new water treatment that removes 'forever chemicals' from drinking water safely, efficiently -- and for good.
Known active ingredient as new drug candidate against mpox
Mpox -- previously known as 'monkeypox' -- is currently spreading worldwide. Researchers have now identified a compound that could help fight the disease.
Changing Temperatures Increase Pesticide Risk to Bees
Temperature influences how badly pesticides affect bees’ behaviour, suggesting uncertain impacts under climate change, according to a new study.
