Climate Change May Influence Geographic Distribution of Marine Biodiversity

By the end of the 21st century, climate change will significantly alter an important oceanographic process that regulates the productivity of fisheries and marine ecosystems, Northeastern researchers report in a new paper in published online Wednesday in the journal Nature. These changes are likely to influence the geographic distribution of marine biodiversity.

Climate Change May Shrink the Habitat of the Brown Lemur

Anticipated climate changes in coming decades are likely to leave a lot of Madagascar's lemurs looking for new places to live.

Capturing Excess Carbon Dioxide is a Viable Strategy for Reducing Greenhouse Gases

What if we had the ability to not only reduce greenhouse gas emissions, but also remove excess carbon dioxide from the atmosphere? If we could, where would we store it, and how could it be used in a positive way?

Chemicals Not Controlled by United Nations Treaty Contributing to Ozone Depletion

Scientists report that chemicals that are not controlled by a United Nations treaty designed to protect the Ozone Layer are contributing to ozone depletion.

Warmer Climate Affects Natural Disturbances Required for Maintaining Species-Rich Riparian Zones

In her thesis, Lovisa Lind shows that ice and winter floods are important natural disturbances for maintaining species-rich riparian zones along northern watercourses. If the climate becomes warmer this disturbance might be lost. This could potentially lead to a less diverse riparian zone. She defends her thesis at Umeå University on Friday 27 February.

Climate Change Causes Infectious Diseases to Appear in New Places and New Hosts

The appearance of infectious diseases in new places and new hosts, such as West Nile virus and Ebola, is a predictable result of climate change, says a noted zoologist affiliated with the Harold W. Manter Laboratory of Parasitology at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln.

Hockey Stick Graph Remains the Central Icon in Climate Wars

The "Hockey Stick" graph, a simple plot representing temperature over time, led to the center of the larger debate on climate change, and skewed the trajectory of at least one researcher, according to Michael Mann, Distinguished Professor of Meteorology, Penn State.

NOAA's GOES-East Satellite Reveals Colder Temperatures in Cloud Tops

Some of the coldest air of the 2014-2015 winter season was settling over the eastern two-thirds of the U.S. on February 13, 2015. That Arctic air mass brought wind chills from below zero to the single numbers from the Midwest to the Mid-Atlantic. Despite the cold on the surface, infrared NASA satellite imagery revealed even colder temperatures in cloud tops associated with the air mass.

New EPA Program May Underestimate Methane Emissions from the Natural Gas Industry

World leaders are working to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, but it's unclear just how much we're emitting. In the U.S., the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has a new program to track these emissions, but scientists are reporting that it vastly underestimates methane emissions from the growing natural gas industry. Their findings, published in two papers in the ACS journal Environmental Science & Technology, could help the industry clamp down on "superemitter" leaks.

Changes in Ocean Carbon Storage Drive Rise in Atmospheric CO2 and Global Temperatures

Published today in Nature, the study shows that carbon stored in an isolated reservoir deep in the Southern Ocean re-connected with the atmosphere, driving a rise in atmospheric CO2 and an increase in global temperatures. The finding gives scientists an insight into how the ocean affects the carbon cycle and climate change.
