A new report from CSIRO, Australia’s national science agency, has more accurately calculated the integration costs of renewables in electricity generation and found that solar and wind continue to be the cheapest source of energy in Australia.

For decades, scientists have worked to understand the intricacies of biological diversity—from genetic and species diversity to ecological diversity.

By looking at satellite measurements of temperature changes in the lower layer of Earth’s atmosphere, LLNL scientists found that climate models may have overestimated the decade-to-decade natural variability of temperature.

Fan mussel populations –the biggest bivalve mussel in the Mediterranean– are endangered due to the severe parasitosis caused by the protozoan Haplospridium pinnae since 2016. Now, a study published in the journal Frontiers in Marine Science reveals the fan mussel would express a certain natural ability to recover thanks to the dispersal in the marine environment of larvae from populations which are not affected by the pathogen.

Emissions from transport account for the largest share of the global decrease.
