New Study Calls for Uplisting Emperor Penguins to Threatened on IUCN Red List
Scientists at the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (WHOI), in collaboration with international partners, have developed a novel approach to addressing uncertainties in ecological and environmental projections, providing a more robust assessment of extinction risk for emperor penguins.
Tree Diversity Helps Reduce Heat Peaks in Forests
A forest with high tree-species diversity is better at buffering heat peaks in summer and cold peaks in winter than a forest with fewer tree species.
Technology Developed by MIT Engineers Makes Pesticides Stick to Plant Leaves
Reducing the amount of agricultural sprays used by farmers — including fertilizers, pesticides and herbicides — could cut down the amount of polluting runoff that ends up in the environment while at the same time reducing farmers’ costs and perhaps even enhancing their productivity.
Novel Material Holds Promise for Tech to Convert CO2 Into Fuel
Researchers have developed a novel combination of materials that have organic and inorganic properties, with the goal of using them in technologies that convert carbon dioxide from the atmosphere into a liquid fuel.
Climate Cost of Global Trawling Still Uncertain
The amount of carbon released by seabed fishing worldwide is uncertain and must be urgently investigated, researchers say.
