Climate Change Induces Upslope Migration of Tropical Plants in Ecuador

The plants on the highest mountain in Ecuador have migrated more than 500 meters to higher altitudes during the last two centuries. This is determined in a new study, in which Aarhus University researchers compared Humboldt's data from 1802 with current conditions.

Study Shows Protected Areas Preserve Mangrove Habitats, Prevent Carbon Dioxide Emissions

Protected areas not only keep significant swaths of Indonesia's shrinking mangrove habitats intact, but also prevent emissions of carbon dioxide that would have been released had these mangroves been cleared, according to a study in the journal Ecological Economics.

Study Reveals Antarctic Ice Would Completely Melt if All Global Fossil-Fuel Resources are Burnt

Burning all of the world's available fossil-fuel resources would result in the complete melting of the Antarctic ice sheet, a new study to be published in Science Advances shows. The Antarctic ice masses store water equivalent to more than 50 meters of sea-level rise.

First Online Global Permafrost Database Could Serve as Early Warning System

This Saturday at a conference in Quebec, Canada an international research team will present the first online data portal on global permafrost. In the Global Terrestrial Network for Permafrost researchers first collect all the existing permafrost temperature and active thickness layer data from Arctic, Antarctic and mountain permafrost regions and then make it freely available for download.

Researchers Awarded NSF Grant to Develop Tree-Ring Chronologies to Monitor Climate Change

University of Arkansas researchers have received a grant to develop the first multicentury tree-ring chronologies in the Amazon River basin to help build a historical record of climate change in one of the most ecologically diverse areas on Earth.

Industrial Revolution, Global Warming Impact Centuries of Ocean Cooling

The high frequency and magnitude of volcanic eruptions could have been the cause of the progressive cooling of ocean surfaces over a period of 1,800 years. This is made apparent in an international study published recently in the journal Nature Geoscience, involving researcher P. Graham Mortyn of the Institute for Environmental Science and Technology (ICTA-UAB) and the UAB Department of Geography.

Climate Change Predicted to Have Major Impact on Southern California Wildfires

Wildfires have ravaged both populated and unpopulated regions of Southern California at an increasing rate over the past few decades, and scientists from three University of California campuses and partner institutions are predicting that by midcentury, as a consequence of climate change causing hotter and drier summers, a lot more will go up in flames.

Study Shows Which Countries are Responsible for Cost of Environmental Damages from Global Warming

Tropical forests are home to more of the world's terrestrial biodiversity than any other habitat, but are increasingly threatened by the impact of human activities. Illegal logging, in particular, poses a severe and increasing threat to tropical forests worldwide. But, until now, its impact on tropical wildlife has not been quantified.

Study Shows Which Countries are Responsible for Cost of Environmental Damages from Global Warming

All countries have contributed to recent climate change, but some much more so than others. Those that have contributed more than their fair share have accumulated a climate debt, owed to countries that have contributed less to historical warming.
