The University of Wisconsin-Madison, home of pioneering ecologists who studied lakes, forests, wetlands and prairies, is playing a key role in the next wave of ecological research: large teams of scientists confronting the dilemma of a changing climate on a shrinking planet.
Changing cattle fields to forests is a cheap way of tackling climate change and saving species threatened with extinction, a new study has found.
A new White House strategy paper on reducing emissions of methane—a powerful greenhouse gas—named Pacific Gas and Electric Company (PG&E) as one of five natural gas utilities nationwide "collaborating to address key technical and regulatory factors affecting methane emission reduction opportunities from natural gas distribution systems."
Jared Cohon, board chair for the Center for Sustainable Shale Development and president emeritus of Carnegie Mellon University, will share insight into incorporating diverse, impassioned opinions to frame effective policy in his talk, “Working Together on Shale Gas Policy and Practice,” Tuesday, April 15, at 4:30 p.m., in 155 Olin Hall.
Foreign mussels hitchhiking to the Great Lakes in the ballast water tanks of international freighters are becoming one of the most vexing environmental problems facing the Great Lakes. A group of scientists from Wayne State University, in collaboration with the United States Geological Survey (USGS) and the Environmental Protection Agency, are working together to battle this problem.
General Electric Co. today issued a report on the environmental dredging project the Company is conducting on the Upper Hudson River in New York State.
Smoked, fried or boiled - the European eel (Anguilla anguilla) has always been a popular fish in Europe. Even though people have consumed it for millennia, the origin of the eel has long been shrouded in mystery. While the fish spend most of their lives in fresh and coastal waters, spawning and the birth of the larvae take place in the Sargasso Sea in the central Atlantic Ocean, about 4500 km away from the European coastlines.
Vermilion Energy Inc. ("Vermilion") is pleased to announce that its environmental partnership with the tomato growing company Tom d'Aqui in Parentis-en-Born (France Aquitaine Basin) has earned a national ecology award from the French government.
In the first global assessment of its kind, a science team led by researchers at Scripps Institution of Oceanography at UC San Diego has produced a landmark report on the impact of fishing on a group of fish known to protect the health of coral reefs. The report, published in the journal Proceedings of the Royal Society B (Biological Sciences), offers key data for setting management and conservation targets to protect and preserve fragile coral reefs.
Chris Field and Markus Reichstein will be presented with the Max Planck Research Prize on November 13, 2013 in Berlin. The two scientists are honoured for their research into the impact of climate change on ecosystems. Chris Field is founding director of the Department of Global Ecology at the Carnegie Institution for Science and Professor at Stanford University, Markus Reichstein director at the Max Planck Institute for Biogeochemistry.
