Electrifying Vehicles in Chicago Would Save Lives, Reduce Pollution Inequities
If the Chicago region replaced 30% of all on-road combustion-engine vehicles — including motorcycles, passenger cars and trucks, buses, refuse trucks and short- and long-haul trucks — with electric versions, it would annually save more than 1,000 lives and over $10 billion, according to a new Northwestern University study.
New Rivers in the North? Scientists Identify How the Dissection of Arctic Landscapes is Changing With Accelerating Climate Change
New research co-led by Simon Fraser University and the University of British Columbia shows that amplified global warming in the Canadian High Arctic drove a profound shift in the structure of a river network carved into a permafrost landscape in only 60 years.
Water Quality Deteriorating in Rivers Worldwide Due to Climate Change and Increasing Extreme Weather Events
Climate change and increases in drought and rainstorms pose serious challenges to our water management.
To Cut Global Emissions, Replace Meat and Milk with Plant-Based Alternatives
Replacing 50% of meat and milk products with plant-based alternatives by 2050 can reduce agriculture and land use related greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by 31% and halt the degradation of forest and natural land, according to new research.
Between Outer Space and Antarctica: Miniature Robots to Carry out Research Below the Ice
For years, scientists have assumed that there are oceans of water beneath the ice covers on the moons Enceladus and Europa.
