A new study analyzing 20 years of data has found that our oceans have changed color, indicating a significant shift in marine ecosystems that is likely due to human-caused climate change.Continue ReadingCategory: Environment, ScienceTags: Ocean, Ecosys… Continue reading Climate change is changing the color of our oceans
Since being green-lit in 2019, high-powered, low-frequency ultrasound has become one of the most promising technological developments in winemaking. Its ability to effectively ‘age’ wine in minutes stands to revolutionize traditional production, which … Continue reading Ultrasound the surprise ingredient for better rosé wine, faster
It’s not just you – it has been hot lately. According to preliminary reports of global average temperatures, last week was the hottest week on record, with the record for hottest day broken several times in a row.Continue ReadingCategory: Environment, … Continue reading The world just sweated through its hottest day and week on record
As urban underground landscapes heat up, the swelling and contraction they’re experiencing is putting stress on the buildings above that they weren’t designed to handle. So says a new study that calls the effect a “silent hazard.”Continue ReadingCatego… Continue reading Subterranean warming in cities likely destabilizing the buildings above
Most of the impacts of a warming planet are fairly obvious. But here’s a strange one: researchers have found that older adults living in climates with higher average temperatures suffer a significantly increased rate of serious vision impairments.Conti… Continue reading Puzzling link between hotter weather and vision impairment found
As temperatures climb, so does violence. At least that’s the conclusion reached by researchers looking at how ancient cultures in the south central Andes responded to climate change about 1,000 years ago. It may be an important cautionary tale.Continue… Continue reading Climate change may have led to ‘Mad Max’-style scenes in ancient Andes
The UK’s PLP Architects is focused on creating a greener future by collaborating with nature, developing a fungus-based modular block that is renewable and biodegradable, and has the potential to become a new building material with minimal environmenta… Continue reading Architects collaborate with nature for fungus-based building material
The World Meteorological Organization (WMO) has released its climate predictions report for the next five years; frankly, the news is dire.Continue ReadingCategory: Environment, ScienceTags: Climate Crisis, Global Warming, Paris Agreement, Arctic Continue reading Earth set to bake in hottest period on record within 5 years, study warns
Researchers at the University of Hawai’i at Mānoa have made a surprising first discovery: scalloped hammerhead sharks hold their breath like air-breathing marine mammals when they deep dive into cold waters to feed. The finding has improved our underst… Continue reading Hammerheads hold their breath to keep warm when deep-diving for food
Global warming has caused many large whales to move from warmer waters, increasing the risk of being struck by ships. Norwegian researchers have converted existing fiber-optic cables into hydrophones, enabling them to track Arctic fin whales in real ti… Continue reading Tracking whales with existing fiber-optic cables may reduce ship strikes
