Geoengineering Earth's Atmosphere: Potential Effects of Climate Intervention on Ecology

Nine of the hottest years in human history have occurred in the past decade. Without a major shift in this climate trajectory, the future of life on Earth is in question, which poses a new question: Should humans, whose fossil fueled society is driving climate change, use technology to put the brakes on global warming?

Increased Lightning Storms may Amplify Arctic Warming

Back in 2019, the National Weather Service in Alaska had reportedly detected the first-familiar lightning strikes within 300 miles of the North Pole.

Study Finds Drastic Fluctuations in Atmospheric Oxygen After its Early Appearance

A new study reveals that the permanent increase in oxygen in the Earth’s atmosphere, which enabled the emergence of life as it is known, occurred 100 million years later than considered earlier.

Solar Variability can Drive Changes to Seasonal Weather on Earth, Study Suggests

A new study shows a correlation between the end of solar cycles and a switch from El Nino to La Nina conditions in the Pacific Ocean, suggesting that solar variability can drive seasonal weather variability on Earth.

Study Quantifies the Effects of Climate Change on Agricultural Productivity Growth

The University of Maryland (UMD) has collaborated with Cornell University and Stanford University to quantify the man-made effects of climate change on global agricultural productivity growth for the first time. In a new study published in Nature Climate Change, researchers developed a robust model of weather effects on productivity, looking at productivity in both the presence and absence of climate change.

Researchers Confirm that Antarctic Glacier Could Cross Tipping Points

Researchers have confirmed for the first time that Pine Island Glacier in West Antarctica could cross tipping points, leading to a rapid and irreversible retreat which would have significant consequences for global sea level.

Climate Change Slowed Global Agricultural Productivity Growth

Despite important agricultural advancements to feed the world in the last 60 years, a Cornell-led study shows that global farming productivity is 21% lower than it could have been without climate change. This is the equivalent of losing about seven years of farm productivity increases since the 1960s.

Floating Gardens Could Ensure Sustainable Farming with Changing Climate

A new study has identified that the floating gardens of Bangladesh, set up to grow food crops during flood seasons, could be a sustainable solution for regions of the world vulnerable to flooding caused by climate change.

UBC Research may Offer Insight to Communicate About Climate Change More Effectively

As our planet warms, seas rise and catastrophic weather events become more frequent, action on climate change has never been more important. But how do you convince people who still don't believe that humans contribute to the warming climate?
