How individual animals respond to climate change is key to whether populations will persist or go extinct.
Saharan Dust Blows Toward Europe
A large plume of dust from the Sahara Desert blew west over the Atlantic Ocean and then curled north toward Europe in late January 2024.
Global Warming Has a Bigger Effect on Compact, Fast-Moving Typhoons
A group from Nagoya University in Japan has found that larger, slower-moving typhoons are more likely to be resilient against global warming.
Geoengineering May Slow Greenland Ice Sheet Loss
One of the many effects of global warming is sea-level rise due to the melting and retreat of the Earth’s ice sheets and glaciers as well as other sources.
PolyU Develops High-Efficiency Carbon Dioxide Electroreduction System for Reducing Carbon Footprint and Progressing Carbon Neutrality Goals
Global warming continues to pose a threat to human society and the ecological systems, and carbon dioxide accounts for the largest proportion of the greenhouse gases that dominate climate warming.
Spray Coating for Grapes Shows Promise in Battle Between Wildfire Smoke and Wine
Spray on coatings for grapes in the vineyard have promise in preventing off flavors in wines that result from contact with wildfire smoke, according to new Oregon State University research.
UChicago Engineer Driving Key Role in Great Lakes Water Transformation
The Chicago-based Great Lakes ReNEW coalition has been awarded one of the largest, if not the largest, climate awards in the city’s history – up to $160 million over 10 years as one of the inaugural U.S. National Science Foundation’s Regional Innovation Engines.
Plastic Microparticles From Road Tyres are “High Concern” Pollutants, Research Shows
Plastic microparticles released into the environment from common road tyres should be treated as a “high concern” pollutant, that may exceed chronic safety limits in some heavily contaminated environments, new research has shown.
Global Power Sector Emissions Headed for Decline
The power sector is the biggest source of emissions globally, but the rapid growth of wind, solar, and nuclear generation are at last pushing power sector emissions into decline, analysts say.
Glacier Melting Destroys Important Climate Data Archive
As part of the Ice Memory initiative, PSI researchers, with colleagues from the University of Fribourg and Ca’ Foscari University of Venice as well as the Institute of Polar Sciences of the Italian National Research Council (CNR), analysed ice cores drilled in 2018 and 2020 from the Corbassière glacier at...
