If you’ve ever thought you may be running a temperature yet couldn’t find a thermometer, you aren’t alone.
Effect of Volcanic Eruptions Significantly Underestimated in Climate Projections
While this effect is far from enough to offset the effects of global temperature rise caused by human activity, the researchers, led by the University of Cambridge, say that small-magnitude eruptions are responsible for as much as half of all the sulphur gases emitted into the upper atmosphere by volcanoes.
Surprise! Weaker Bonds Can Make Polymers Stronger
A team of chemists from MIT and Duke University has discovered a counterintuitive way to make polymers stronger: introduce a few weaker bonds into the material.
Traditional Methods Cannot Give Us the Insights We Need to Understand Changing Ecosystems
In a recent study, published in Science Advances Dr. Federico Riva, Dr. Caio Graco-Roza et al. lay out a path to make this happen, and they're hopeful about the potential for breakthroughs in ecology and conservation biology.
El Niño Returns
After three consecutive years of La Niña, spring 2023 saw the return of El Niño—a natural climate phenomenon characterized by the presence of warmer than normal sea surface temperatures (and higher sea levels) in the central and eastern tropical Pacific Ocean.
Webb Rules Out Thick Carbon Dioxide Atmosphere for Rocky Exoplanet
With a dayside temperature of roughly 380 kelvins (about 225 degrees Fahrenheit), TRAPPIST-1 c is now the coolest rocky exoplanet ever characterized based on thermal emission.
The Glowing North Sea
As sunlight and warmth increase in the spring and summer, the North Sea starts to gain swirls and tendrils of color.
Top Five Tips For Supporting Pollinators This Summer
Mother Nature’s messengers need consideration year-round. Here’s what you can do to give them a helping hand.
Adapt or Perish – Climate Change Alters Coastal Fisheries and Society in Peru
Researchers from Germany and Peru jointly develop new adaptation strategies to the impacts of climate change on the Humboldt upwelling area off the Peruvian coast.
New MU Study Examines Variability of Water, Carbon in Missouri Agriculture Ecosystems and Future Impact on Crops
One of the main reasons plants use water is to allow them to absorb carbon dioxide from the atmosphere.
