Communities with More Fish Species are More Productive and Resilient to Rising Temperatures

Fish provide protein to billions of people and are an especially critical food source in the developing world. Today marine biologists confirmed a key factor that could help them thrive through the coming decades: biodiversity.

New Technique Uses Seismic Vibrations to Track Seasonal Changes in Greenland’s Ice Sheet

A novel method has been developed by researchers from Princeton University, MIT, and elsewhere that uses seismic vibrations created by ocean waves to track seasonal changes occurring in Greenland’s ice. The study could enable scientists to identify the ice sheet regions that are the most sensitive to melting.

Researchers Discover Fossil Primate Species Stressed by Prehistoric Climate Change

Scientists from the University of Kansas have discovered a "mother lode" of six new fossil primate species in parts of southern China. Approximately 34 million years ago, these primate species eked out an existance soon after the Eocene-Oligocene transition.

Collective Framing of Climate Change Causes More Effective than Individual, UC San Diego Study Suggests

What can you do about climate change? The better question might be: What can we do about climate change? University of California San Diego researchers show in a new study that framing the issue collectively is significantly more effective than emphasis on personal responsibility.

People Concerned about Economy are More Skeptical about Climate Change

Americans may be more likely to accept the scientific evidence of human-caused climate change and its potentially devastating effects if they believe the economy is strong and stable, according to new research published by the American Psychological Association.

Tropical Cyclones Play Major Role in Increased Carbon Uptake by Southeast U.S. Forests

For people who reside in the southeastern United States, hurricanes continue to be a major source of worry, but according to a new study, residents of this region may now have a major upside on how to offset global warming. Earlier, Duke environmental engineer Ana Barros performed a study, which showed that a steady landfall of tropical cyclones is important for the region’s water supply and this can ultimately help in reducing droughts.

Study Reveals Groundwater Extraction Does not Contribute to Sea Level Rise

According to a new study, extraction of land water, including groundwater, does not contribute to sea level rise as significantly as previously thought. In fact, such extractions contribute three times less to sea level rise.

Warmer Temperatures Spur Algal Growth and Affect Lakes in Oilsands Region

Researchers from government agencies and academia have collaborated on a new research project, which revealed that climate warming has contributed to an increased growth of algae in the Athabasca oilsands area of northern Alberta.

Small Molecule 3-Nitrooxypropanol Reduces Methane Production in Ruminants

Researchers at the Spanish National Research Council (CSIC) have taken part in a study of the effect of one molecule, 3-nitrooxypropanol, in inhibiting methane production in ruminants. The work has been published in the magazine, Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS).
