Tree Diversity Helps Reduce Heat Peaks in Forests
A forest with high tree-species diversity is better at buffering heat peaks in summer and cold peaks in winter than a forest with fewer tree species.
Exploring the Future of Frozen Water
As the world focuses on glacier preservation this UN World Water Day, researchers at the University of Waterloo are exploring the glaciers of the Yukon’s St. Elias Mountains.
Novel Material Holds Promise for Tech to Convert CO2 Into Fuel
Researchers have developed a novel combination of materials that have organic and inorganic properties, with the goal of using them in technologies that convert carbon dioxide from the atmosphere into a liquid fuel.
Threatened by Warming Waters, Brook Trout May Be Able to Adapt to Hotter Weather
Heatwaves appear to trigger heritable gene expression changes that may help make the fish more tolerant of thermal stress, researchers report in novel study.
Snapshot of Antarctica’s Past Helps Predict Future Climate
In the first study to consider the long-term evolution of the rivers that flow beneath glaciers, researchers have new insights into the future of Antarctica’s melting ice that may change the way climate scientists predict the effects of a warming planet.
