High and Low Tide Cause Low and High Methane Fluxes
Methane, a strong greenhouse gas that naturally escapes from the bottom of the North Sea, is affected by the pressure of high or low tide.
Scorching Storms on Distant Worlds Revealed
Astronomers have created the most detailed weather report so far for two distant worlds beyond our own solar system.
Unprecedented Warming Threatens Earth’s Lakes and Their Ecosystems
Lakes, with their rich biodiversity and important ecological services, face a concerning trend: rapidly increasing temperatures.
Exploring the Radiative Effects of Precipitation on Arctic Amplification and Energy Budget
While, in theory, precipitation impacts the Earth’s radiation budget, the radiative effects of precipitation (REP) are poorly understood and excluded from most climate models.
New U of T Engineering Study Identifies Sources of Indoor Air Pollution in Toronto Subway System
A team of University of Toronto researchers, led by Professor Greg Evans (ISTEP, ChemE) and Keith Van Ryswyk (ChemE PhD 2T3), is working to better understand the sources of air pollution in the Toronto Transit Commission (TTC) subway system — an important first step towards improving its indoor air quality.
