Estimates of Plants' Ability to Offset Greenhouse Gas Emissions may be Unrealistically Optimistic

Because plants need carbon dioxide to grow, scientists have expected rising atmospheric CO2 to substantially enhance plant growth, offsetting a portion of human CO2 emissions and, in turn, slowing climate change. However, new research from the Institute on the Environment published today in Nature Climate Change adds to a growing body of research challenging this expectation.

Warming Effects of Climate Change Could Lead to More Carbon Flooding the Atmosphere

The warming effects of climate change usually conjure up ideas of parched and barren landscapes broiling in a blazing sun, its heat amplified by greenhouse gases. But a study led by Princeton University researchers suggests that hotter nights may actually wield much greater influence over the planet's atmosphere as global temperatures rise -- and could eventually lead to more carbon flooding the atmosphere.

New Study Demonstrates Acute Temperature Sensitivity of Greenland Glaciers

Greenland's glaciers are retreating quickly, and a new study shows in historical terms just how quickly: over the past century, at least twice as fast as any other time in the past 9,500 years. The study also provides new evidence for just how sensitive glaciers are to temperature, showing that they responded to past abrupt cooling and warming periods, some of which might have lasted only decades.

New Accounting Approach May Provide More Accurate Picture of Carbon Sequestration in US Forests

Scientists with the USDA Forest Service have developed a new approach to forest carbon accounting that will result in a more accurate picture of how much carbon is sequestered in forests - the planet's greatest terrestrial carbon sink - and the ramifications of changes in land use, wildfire and invasive insects on carbon sequestration.

Black Carbon Input in Arctic Ocean is Likely to Increase with Global Warming

University of Georgia Skidaway Institute of Oceanography scientist Aron Stubbins led a team of researchers to determine the levels of black carbon in Arctic rivers and found that the input of black carbon to the Arctic Ocean is likely to increase with global warming. The results of their study were recently published in the journal Frontiers in Earth Science.

New Report Offers Important Insights for Decision Makers Contemplating Low-Carbon Future

If it's green, it's mostly clean, according to a new, comprehensive review of renewable energy sources released today by the International Resource Panel, hosted by the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP).

East Antarctic Ice Sheet Rock Study Reveals Period of Rapid Glacier Thinning

By studying rocks at different elevations beside the East Antarctic Ice Sheet (EAIS), a New Zealand-led team concluded that a period of rapid glacier thinning occurred in the recent geological past, and persisted for several centuries.

IRD Organising Several Scientific Workshops on Climate Change Issues at COP21

Paris will host the 21st Conference of the Parties to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (COP21) from 30 November to 11 December 2015. On this occasion, research into development is ready to meet the challenges of climate change.

Evolutionary Responses of Phytoplankton Important in Developing Climate Change Models

A new study from the University of Exeter, published in the journal Ecology Letters, found that phytoplankton - microscopic water-borne plants - can rapidly evolve tolerance to elevated water temperatures.
