‘Open Gates’ in Warming Arctic Are Expanding Salmon Range
New research has connected warming ocean temperatures to higher Pacific salmon abundance in the Canadian Arctic, an indicator that climate change is creating new corridors for the fish to expand their range.
Arctic Melting Heavily Influenced by Little-Studied Meteorological Phenomena, Find Scientists Led by UMass Amherst
A team of scientists led by François Lapointe, a research associate at the University of Massachusetts Amherst, has combined paleoclimatic data from the last 2,000 years with powerful computer modeling and in-the-field research on lake sediments and tree rings to show that an understudied phenomenon, known as atmospheric blocking, has long influenced temperature swings in the Arctic.
Uptake of Tire Wear Additives by Vegetables Grown for Human Consumption
Car tires contain hundreds of chemical additives that can leach out of them.
Summer Droughts in Northern Hemisphere Increasingly Likely as Seasonal Streamflows Change
Declining snowfall is changing the seasonal patterns of streamflow throughout the Northern hemisphere boosting chances of water shortages in the summer, scientists have found.
Fighting Fires From Space in Record Time: How AI Could Prevent a Repeat of Australia’s Devastating Wildfires
Australian scientists are getting closer to detecting bushfires in record time, thanks to cube satellites with onboard AI now able to detect fires from space 500 times faster than traditional on-ground processing of imagery.
