The Sierra Nevada mountain range in California is as stunning as it is diverse, with storms from the Pacific Ocean dumping rain and snow on the range's western slopes while arid conditions mark much of its eastern face. David Des Marais, MIT's Amgen Career Development Associate Professor, knows the mountains well. His childhood in San Francisco was filled with hiking and camping excursions throughout the range.
The methodology, applied in Bilbao, Madrid and Caceres, has shown that socio-economic conditions and the characteristics of the urban fabric have a significant influence on vulnerability. The tool generates vulnerability maps that help determine where adaptation measures to combat heatwaves should be prioritised.
The United States currently exports large quantities of soybeans, maize and other feed crops to China, where they support livestock production. This arrangement has advantages: growing the feed in the United States causes less global nitrogen loss than producing the same feed entirely in China, according to the study. Yet the feed and the animals that consume it are largely separated across two countries.
Seaweed aquaculture is a nature-based climate solution. Macroalgae contribute roughly 1.5 petagrams of carbon (PgC) to global annual net primary production, and farm sediments can bury about 1.87 ± 0.73 tons of carbon dioxide equivalent (CO2e) per hectare per year—about twice the rate of adjacent non-farmed areas.
An international research team, led by UNSW researchers, has identified why mangroves thrive on some coastlines yet die on others.
Cutting greenhouse gas emissions now may limit how much ice Antarctica loses this century and reduce the rise in seas facing coastal communities, according to findings from a new study.
Researchers modeled how historical Carbon Majors emissions could affect global temperatures through 2500 under different future emissions pathways.
New research examines whether disruptive financial technology (DFT) and modern Belt and Road (MBR) spillovers are associated with green development (GD) and net-zero pathways across 148 Belt and Road economies from 2004 to 2023. Using advanced panel econometric methods, the study finds that DFT and MBR spillovers generally show positive associations with GD, while their interaction is positive for the full panel and Europe but negative for Asia and Africa. The results suggest that the green benefits of digital finance depend on regulatory frameworks, digital readiness and project governance.
J-PAL North America’s Learning Lab supported a second cohort of U.S. government and nonprofit organizations in building and using rigorous evidence to advance effective decarbonization and adaptation strategies.
A calibrated CO2 sensing approach provides high-resolution tracking of dissolved inorganic carbon under continuous and alternating light conditions in microalgal cultures.
