Sensitive Ecosystems at Risk From Mine Waste
Nearly a third of the world’s mine tailings are stored within or near protected conservation areas, University of Queensland research has found.
Forest Modeling Shows Which Harvest Rotations Lead to Maximum Carbon Sequestration
Forest modeling by Oregon State University scientists shows that a site’s productivity – an indicator of how fast trees grow and how much biomass they accumulate – is the main factor that determines which time period between timber harvests allows for maximum above-ground carbon sequestration.
Particulate Pollution From Coal Associated With Double the Risk of Mortality Than PM2.5 From Other Sources
Exposure to fine particulate air pollutants from coal-fired power plants (coal PM2.5) is associated with a risk of mortality more than double that of exposure to PM2.5 from other sources, according to a new study led by George Mason University, The University of Texas at Austin, and Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health.
Study Reveals How UK’s Shipwrecks are Providing a Refuge for Marine Life
An estimated 50,000 shipwrecks can be found around the UK’s coastline and have been acting as a hidden refuge for fish, corals and other marine species in areas still open to destructive bottom towed fishing, a new study has shown.
Revolutionizing the Way Air Quality Data is Shared
Shahan Salim, a PhD candidate in the School of Public Health Sciences and a member of the Waterloo Climate Institute’s COP 28 delegation, has designed, in partnership with UNICEF in Mongolia, a platform to use data from low-cost air quality sensors to monitor and predict adverse outcomes related to air pollution exposure in underserved communities.
