Early-Onset El Niño Means Warmer Winters in East Asia, and Vice Versa
Analyzing 100 different climate simulations over the past 61 years to find how El Niño determines warm or cold winters in Japan.
Shrinking Glaciers: Microscopic Fungi Enhance Soil Carbon Storage in New Landscapes Created by Shrinking Arctic Glaciers
Melting Arctic glaciers are in rapid recession, and microscopic organisms colonise the newly exposed landscapes. Dr. James Bradley, Honorary Reader in Arctic Biogeochemistry in the School of Biological and Behavioural Sciences at Queen Mary University of London, and his team, have revealed that yeasts play an important role in soil formation in the Arctic after glaciers have melted away.
