Climate change stands to reshape the world in all kinds of ways, and one of the most profound will be the impact of warmer temperatures on the human population. An international team of researchers casting an eye towards this future has published a stu… Continue reading Study: Global warming to place billions in “near-unliveable” heat
With carbon dioxide emissions continuing to rise and drive up global temperatures, many scientists are pursuing technologies that can capture the gas before it enters the atmosphere. Scientists at Newcastle University have happened upon a particularly … Continue reading Carbon capture membrane assembles its own silver structures
A new paper has revealed that Greenland and the Antarctic have lost a staggering amount of mass from their ice sheets over the last 16 years thanks to climate change, and that the melting has contributed to sea level rise. The researchers drew on satel… Continue reading Study reveals massive yearly ice loss in the Antarctic and Greenland
The western United States and parts of northern Mexico have been suffering through drought conditions on and off since the year 2000 – and unfortunately it may not let up any time soon. A new study has examined extreme droughts in the region dating bac… Continue reading Western US may be headed for a once-in-500-years “megadrought”
Desperate times call for desperate measures, and for scientists contending with a third major bleaching event in five years at Australia’s Great Barrier Reef, such times are very much upon us. In a world first, researchers have conducted a cloud-bright… Continue reading Turbines brighten clouds over Great Barrier Reef in world-first trial
A new study has calculated that the Greenland ice sheet lost hundreds of billions of tons of ice last year, marking the biggest drop in its ice mass since records began in 1948. And warm weather alone wasn’t to blame – the team found that unusual press… Continue reading Weird weather pushes Greenland to worst ice loss on record
NASA is calling on citizen scientists to help identify and classify the world’s corals by playing a virtual diving game, so that experts can better understand how they are evolving and how they might be best preserved for the future.Continue ReadingCat… Continue reading NASA wants your help to map the world’s coral reefs
The world’s oceans play an important role in regulating the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere by absorbing billions of metric tons of it each year. A new study suggests we may have been greatly underestimating the effectiveness of this vast ca… Continue reading Study suggests the ocean is soaking up twice as much CO2 as we thought
Although a hole in the ozone layer might sound like a decidedly retro environmental issue, it’s still a problem today. Most eyes are fixed on the skies over Antarctica, but now scientists have spotted the biggest ozone layer hole in at least 25 years f… Continue reading Satellite spots new ozone layer hole opening up over the Arctic
Climate change threatens to shake up the lifestyles of many animals around the world and a new study has revealed that for the American robin these wheels are already very much in motion. Scientists tagged the songbirds with GPS units to track their mi… Continue reading American robins head north sooner due to Arctic snow melting earlier
