Researchers Assess Effects of Land Use on Water Availability in Himalaya Mountain Basins

As part of an multi-disciplinary study, a team of Baylor researchers found that climatic changes, an increase in agricultural land use and population growth in the Himalaya Mountain basins could have negative impacts on water availability, further stressing a region plagued by natural disasters and food insecurity.

MIT and Norwegian Scientists Gauge Fairness and Ambition of Top Three Emitters’ Pledges

Over two weeks in December, delegates from virtually every country in the world will gather in Paris for the 21st annual United Nations Climate Change Conference. Their ambitious goal: to hammer out a binding international agreement on climate action.

Study Reveals Utility-Scale Solar Energy Development is a Source of Land-Cover Change

On Oct. 7, Gov. Jerry Brown of California signed legislation aimed at increasing renewable-energy generation. Among renewable energy systems, solar energy has high potential for mitigating climate change, resulting in diverse technologies that capture the sun's thermal energy.

Methane Seeps from Svalbard Seafloor Deposits Near Release Less Greenhouse Gas

Methane seeps from seafloor deposits near Svalbard release less ‘greenhouse gas’ into the atmosphere than other Arctic sites because ocean currents there form an effective barrier.

Shale Oil and Crude Oil Production Generate Similar Levels of Greenhouse Gas Emissions

The U.S. Department of Energy's Argonne National Laboratory this week released a pair of studies on the efficiency of shale oil production excavation. The reports show that shale oil production generates greenhouse gas emissions at levels similar to traditional crude oil production.

Potential ‘Tipping Points’ Where Abrupt Regional Climate Shifts Could Occur

An international team of scientists have identified potential ‘tipping points’ where abrupt regional climate shifts could occur due to global warming,

Biodiversity Could Help Protect Ecosystems from Extreme Climate

Can biodiversity help protect ecosystems from extreme conditions? That question is much on the minds of scientists and policy makers as a changing climate brings more wildly swinging conditions at the same time human activities reduce the number of species available to produce food and oxygen and help keep our planet in balance.

Subsurface Ocean Warming Could be Causing More Release of Frozen Methane

Warming ocean temperatures a third of a mile below the surface, in a dark ocean in areas with little marine life, might attract scant attention. But this is precisely the depth where frozen pockets of methane 'ice' transition from a dormant solid to a powerful greenhouse gas.

New Study Finds Tight Linkage Between Ocean Currents and Climate Change

A new study of the relationship between ocean currents and climate change has found that they are tightly linked, and that changes in the polar regions can affect the ocean and climate on the opposite side of the world within one to two hundred years, far quicker than previously thought.
