Chilling facts about forever chemicals: 1000
In this instalment, Alice and Sue brave the walk-in freezers at the UK Centre for Ecology & Hydrology (UKCEH) in Lancaster, where the temperatures get down to -18°C, to explore the story behind PFAS – per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances – also known as “forever chemicals”. T
Study Finds that Better Ocean Connectivity Boosts Reef Fish Populations
In the study, connectivity particularly impacted herbivorous reef fish groups, which are most critical to coral reef resilience, providing evidence that decision-makers should incorporate connectivity into how they prioritise conservation areas.
Assessing the Real Climate Costs of Manufacturing
Producing materials such as steel, plastics and cement in the United States alone inflicts $79 billion a year in climate-related damage around the world, according to a new study by engineers and economists at the University of California, Davis.
Scientists Discover Molecules that Store Much of the Carbon in Space
