A Global Map of How Climate Change is Changing Winegrowing Regions
Grapes grown to make wine are sensitive to climate conditions such as temperature and extreme drought.
New Maps Show Where Tree Restoration Might Help Curb Climate Change
As efforts to restore tree cover accelerate to help avoid runaway climate change, a study by Clark University researchers highlights how restoring tree cover can, in some locations, heat up the Earth rather than cool it by affecting how much sunlight the surface reflects (called “the albedo”).
Climate Change Alters the Hidden Microbial Food Web in Peatlands
The humble peat bog conjures images of a brown, soggy expanse. But it turns out to have a superpower in the fight against climate change.
Mathematical Innovations Enable Advances in Seismic Activity Detection
Amidst the unique landscape of geothermal development in the Tohoku region, subtle seismic activities beneath the Earth's surface present a fascinating challenge for researchers.
Climate Change Will See Australia’s Soil Emit CO2 and Add to Global Warming
New Curtin University research has shown the warming climate will turn Australia’s soil into a net emitter of carbon dioxide (CO2), unless action is taken.
