Decoding Dangers of Arctic Sea Ice With Seismic, Radar Method
Sea ice coverage in the Arctic Ocean is at one of its lowest levels on record, yet there’s no unanimity on when that ice will disappear completely during summer months.
How Green Infrastructure is Revamping City Storm Sewers
Installing green infrastructure in residential areas can prevent stormwater from flooding sewer systems and significantly curb heavy metal pollution, suggests a new study.
New Study Finds Large Fluctuations in Sea Level Occurred Throughout the Last Ice Age, a Significant Shift in Understanding of Past Climate
Large changes in global sea level, fueled by fluctuations in ice sheet growth and decay, occurred throughout the last ice age, rather than just toward the end of that period, a study publishing this week in the journal Science has found.
The Southern Ocean’s Low-Salinity Water Locked Away CO2 for Decades, But
An AWI study gives a potential explanation as to why the ocean around Antarctica is defying climate model projections and continuing to absorb CO2, despite the effects of climate change.
Research Shows How Dust Bowl-Type Drought Causes Unprecedented Productivity Loss
A global research effort led by Colorado State University shows that extreme, prolonged drought conditions in grasslands and shrublands would greatly limit the long-term health of crucial ecosystems that cover nearly half the planet.
Road Noise Can Actually Make Squirrels Feel Safer, New Study Finds
Human disturbance has a significant impact on the behaviour and habitat use of urban wildlife, however, in some situations urban grey squirrels may actually feel safer from predators where our activity is high.
