With sea ice at its lowest point in 1,500 years, how might ecological communities in the Arctic be affected by its continued accelerating melting over the next decades? Penn State Professor of Biology Eric Post and an international team of scientists tackle this question by examining relationships among algae, plankton, whales and terrestrial animals such as caribou, arctic foxes and walrus; as well as the effects of human exploration of previously inaccessible parts of the region.
Christopher Field, the founding director of Carnegie’s Department of Global Ecology has been awarded one of Germany’s most prestigious prizes, the Max Planck Research Prize with Markus Reichstein “because they have significantly increased our knowledge of how life on Earth responds to climate change and what reactions can be anticipated between the biosphere and the atmosphere… their work also helps us to estimate the consequences of climate change for the people of the planet.”
CO2 Group is pleased to advise the market that its wholly-owned subsidiary Western Australian Resources Limited (WARL or the ‘Company’) has entered into option agreements for the lands required for the entire Project Sea Dragon development.
The Stanford campus is peppered with laboratories conducting bleeding-edge research. It is home to some of the world's finest advanced robotics and nanotechnology labs, filled with scientists busily working to create a future filled with autonomous cars, ultra-efficient solar technology and new treatments for the most debilitating neurological diseases. There's even a particle accelerator.
Globalisation, with its ever increasing demand for cargo transport, has inadvertently opened the flood gates for a new, silent invasion.
The Australian Cleantech sector is profiled to a greater extent than ever before in a report to be launched this week at events in Perth and Brisbane.
Ancient carbon trapped in Arctic permafrost is extremely sensitive to sunlight and, if exposed to the surface when long-frozen soils melt and collapse, can release climate-warming carbon dioxide gas into the atmosphere much faster than previously thought.
Delta Marsh is one of North America's largest, freshwater coastal wetlands, where sportsmen and naturalists once flocked in search of outdoor adventure. Once a premier waterfowl breeding and staging marsh of the southeastern Canadian Prairies, the 19,000-hectare marsh on the south shores of Lake Manitoba was home to millions of waterfowl and wildlife, and rich vegetation flourished.
From January to June 2013, more than 60 European scientists will conduct a worldwide unique long-term experiment on ocean acidification at the west coast of Sweden. To study how natural marine communities develop in response to acidifying waters, the scientists will deploy a large-scale mesocosm facility in the Gullmar Fjord. The field experiment, which takes place in the framework of the German project on ocean acidification BIOACID (Biological Impacts of Ocean ACIDification), is coordinated by GEOMAR Helmholtz Centre for Ocean Research Kiel.
Research by scientists at the University of Bath is being used to help inform new EU legislation on levels of underwater noise, with the aim of reducing the impact of noise pollution on marine wildlife.
