With the Planet Facing a 'Polycrisis', Biodiversity Researchers Uncover Major Knowledge Gaps
A scientific review has found almost no research studying the interconnections across three major threats to planetary health, despite UN assessments suggesting one million species are at risk of extinction, a global pandemic that resulted in over six million excess deaths, and a record-breaking year of global temperatures.
Cloud Engineering Could Be More Effective ‘Painkiller’ for Global Warming Than Previously Thought
Cloud ‘engineering’ could be more effective for climate cooling than previously thought, because of the increased cloud cover produced, new research shows.
Tropical Coral-Infecting Parasites Discovered in Cold Marine Ecosystems
Parasites thought only to infect tropical coral reefs have been discovered in a large variety of creatures in cold marine ecosystems along the Northeast Pacific, according to new research from University of British Columbia botanists.
Using CO2 and Biomass, FAMU-FSU Researchers Find Path to More Environmentally Friendly Recyclable Plastics
Modern life relies on plastic.
Ocean Currents Threaten to Collapse Antarctic Ice Shelves
A new study published in Nature Communications has revealed that the interplay between meandering ocean currents and the ocean floor induces upwelling velocity, transporting warm water to shallower depths.
