Coastal Population Highly Vulnerable to Climate Change-Driven Changes

A new study finds that about 31 million people worldwide live in coastal regions that are "highly vulnerable" to future tropical storms and sea-level rise driven by climate change.

Mangroves Will Not Survive Rising Sea-Levels if Carbon Emissions Go Unchecked

Scientists from Nanyang Technological University, Singapore (NTU Singapore), and an international research team have predicted that by 2050, mangroves will not be able to survive rising sea-levels if global carbon emissions are not reduced.

New Study Measures Amount of Burned Carbon Flushed Out by Rivers into Oceans

The extent to which rivers transport burned carbon to oceans - where it can be stored for tens of millennia - is revealed in new research led by the University of East Anglia (UEA).

Threats Due to Invasive Weed Species may Increase with Global Warming

Working with computer models to predict the likely impact of climate change on invasive weed propagation, Dr Farzin Shabani from Flinders University's Global Ecology Lab found a likely increase in areas of habitat suitability for the majority of invasive weed species in European countries, parts of the US and Australia, posing a great potential danger to global biodiversity.

Finding Ways to Control Microbiome of Cattle to Curb Greenhouse Gas Emissions

Ben-Gurion University of the Negev (BGU) researchers have learned to control the microbiome of cattle for the first time which could inhibit their methane production, and therefore reduce a major source of greenhouse gasses.

New Study Shows Decline in Precipitation Following Volcanic Eruption in Tropics

Climate change is occurring all over the globe as 1°C increase in Earth's temperature has led to the rise in the sea level, melting of the Arctic ice, and unseasonable heat waves and heavy snow.

New Study Predicts Higher Sea-Level Rise than IPCC Projections

According to the predictions of a new international study headed by the Nanyang Technological University (NTU), Singapore, the faster melting of polar ice sheets than projected earlier may lead to a nearly 1.3 m rise in the ocean levels by 2100.

Study Examines the Response of Marshes to Sea-Level Rise

Given the present-day rate of global sea-level rise, remaining marshes in the Mississippi Delta are likely to drown, according to a new Tulane University study.
