Humans have been turning seeds and soil into food for thousands of years.
For Energy Systems That Power a Reliable Grid, the Future is All About Location
Will a warming climate and changing weather patterns lead to more grid blackouts and other energy disruptions?
Robin Study Suggests Fleeing Isn’t Necessarily Wildlife’s First Response to Wildfire Smoke
Research by Oregon State University biologists suggests that toxic air stemming from wildfires won’t necessarily prompt animals to flee in search of better breathing conditions.
Why the Planet Doesn’t Dry Out Together: Scientists Solve a Global Climate Puzzle
Researchers at the Indian Institute of Technology Gandhinagar (IITGN), in collaboration with international partners, have shown that ocean temperature patterns help limit the global spread of droughts.
Massive Calving Episode in Greenland May Foreshadow More Rapid Ice Sheet Loss
Last November, a study led by Adrien Wehrlé, a researcher in the department of geography at the University of Zürich, Switzerland, looked at the massive calving response of one of West Greenland’s active glaciers, Sermeq Kujalleq in the Kangia icefjord (SKK), to the drainage of two surface lakes.
New Research Indicates That in the Future, Trees May Store Less Carbon Than Expected
It’s intuitive to think that if a tree is photosynthesizing, it’s also growing.
Scientists Uncover Genetic Clues From a Tumour-Prone Reptile That Could Advance Cancer Research
A new study, led by experts at the University of Nottingham, suggests a pet gecko with an unusually high risk of tumours may be a promising model for understanding how cancer develops and spreads.
Replacement ‘Climate-Friendly’ Car Refrigerant Linked to Rising Forever Chemical Pollution in Europe
A newer ‘climate-friendly’ refrigerant used in car air conditioning systems, may already be a significant, and possibly dominant, source of a ‘forever chemical’ pollutant across Europe, according to a new University of Bristol-led study.
A Turquoise Tint for the Black Sea
