California’s Winter Waves May Be Increasing Under Climate Change
A new study from UC San Diego Scripps Institution of Oceanography researcher emeritus Peter Bromirski uses nearly a century of data to show that the average heights of winter waves along the California coast have increased as climate change has heated up the planet.
Closure of Pittsburgh Coal-Processing Plant Tied to Local Health Gains
The closure in January 2016 of one of Pittsburgh’s biggest coal-processing plants led to immediate and lasting declines in emissions of fossil fuel–related air pollutants.
Nature-Based Solutions Can Help Tackle Climate Change and Food Security, But Communities Outside Europe are Missing Out
Nature-based solutions (NBS) can help grand challenges, such as climate change and food security, but, as things stand, communities outside of Europe do not stand to benefit from these innovations.
How Forests Can Cut Carbon, Restore Ecosystems, and Create Jobs
To limit the frequency and severity of droughts, wildfires, flooding, and other adverse consequences of climate change, nearly 200 countries committed to the Paris Agreement’s long-term goal of keeping global warming well below 2 degrees Celsius.
UW Researchers Find Evolutionary Adaptation in Trout of Wind Rivers
