Landmark 20-Year Study of Climate Change Impact on Permafrost Forests
In perhaps the first long-term study of CO2 fluxes in northern forests growing on permafrost, an Osaka Metropolitan University-led research team has found that climate change increased not only the sources of carbon, but also the CO2 sinks.
Buried Alive: Carbon Dioxide Release From Magma Beneath Ancient Volcanoes Was Hidden Driver of Earth’s Past Climate
An international team of geoscientists led by a volcanologist at Rutgers University-New Brunswick has discovered that, contrary to present scientific understanding, ancient volcanoes continued to spew carbon dioxide into the atmosphere from deep within the Earth long past their period of eruptions.
Marine Genetics to Help Restore Coastlines
Australians love their coastal and marine environments but much of the world’s ecosystems are in various stages of decline and in urgent need of restoration.
Sliver of Cool Surface Water Helps the Ocean Absorb More Carbon
Subtle temperature differences at the ocean surface allow more carbon dioxide (CO₂) to be absorbed, new research shows.
How Climate Change Affects the Risk of Malaria in Kenya
Malaria, spread by Anopheles mosquitoes, is one of the deadliest diseases in the world. In Kenya, malaria remains a major health challenge, particularly for children under the age of five years.
