Are Lakes Releasing More Carbon Dioxide as the Planet Heats Up?

As the planet heats up, are lakes releasing more carbon dioxide into the atmosphere? With a prestigious National Science Foundation Faculty Early Career Development (CAREER) grant, researcher Kevin Rose will examine large-scale patterns in concentrations of carbon dioxide (CO2) and dissolved oxygen to answer the question.

Temperature Increase of up to 1.5 Degrees Predicted in Antarctic Peninsula by 2044

A new study demonstrates that climate change will cause the temperature in the Antarctic Peninsula to increase by 0.5°C to 1.5°C by 2044. The study involved an analysis of historic and predicted simulations from 19 global climate models.

Increase in Global Warming Threatens Habitats of Freshwater Fish Species

The habitats of freshwater fish species are threatened by global warming, mainly due to rising water temperatures. A 3.2-degree Celsius increase in global mean temperature would threaten more than half of the habitat for one third of all freshwater fish species.

Water Available in Rivers is at the Mercy of Climate Change

According to an international team of researchers collaborating on a global study with Michigan State University, the availability of water in rivers is largely dependent on climate change like never before.

Reductions in Air Pollutants Without Greenhouse Gas Cuts Could Increase Global Warming

As countries around the world race to mitigate global warming by limiting carbon dioxide emissions, an unlikely source could be making climate goals harder to achieve without even deeper cuts in greenhouse gas production: reductions in air pollution.

Slowdown in Global Warming Brought Down Malaria Transmission in Ethiopia

A new study reports that the deceleration in global warming observed toward the end of the past century was due to a fall in malaria transmission in the Ethiopian highlands.

Study Shows Climate Change-Related Population Declines in Tropical Birds

The mountain forests of Tanzania are more than 9,300 miles away from Salt Lake City, Utah. But, as in eastern Africa, the wild places of Utah depend on a diversity of birds to spread seeds, eat pests and clean up carrion. Birds keep ecosystems healthy. So if birds in Tanzania are in trouble in a warming climate, as found in a recent study by University of Utah researchers, people in Utah as well as in the African tropics should pay attention.

Study Underscores a Close Connection Between Climate and Disease

The slowdown in global warming that was observed at the end of last century was reflected by a decrease in malaria transmission in the Ethiopian highlands, according to a study led by the Barcelona Institute for Global Health (ISGlobal), an institution supported by "la Caixa" Foundation, and the University of Chicago. The results, published in Nature Communications, underscore the close connection between climate and health.

Fossilized Shells Provide Clues to Better Predict Future Warming and Ocean Acidification

Microscopic fossilized shells are helping geologists reconstruct Earth's climate during the Paleocene-Eocene Thermal Maximum (PETM), a period of abrupt global warming and ocean acidification that occurred 56 million years ago.
