Heriot-Watt University, BioFuelNet Canada and Bio-Char Network Sign New MoU for Biochar Research

Current collaboration between the UK and Canada in the area of biochar as an effective way to capture CO2 has been strengthened by signing a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) between Professor Raffaella Ocone at Heriot-Watt University (UK) and BioFuelNet Canada (BNF) and Bio-Char Network (Bio-Char) in Canada.

Excess Heat from Air Conditioners Increases Temperatures, Worsens Urban Heat Island Effect

A team of researchers from Arizona State University has found that releasing excess heat from air conditioners running during the night resulted in higher outside temperatures, worsening the urban heat island effect and increasing cooling demands.

Climate Change Causes Earth to ‘Rebound’ Due to Shrinkage of Overlying Ice Sheet

At the surface, Antarctica is a motionless and frozen landscape. Yet hundreds of miles down the Earth is moving at a rapid rate, new research has shown.

Climate Change Likely to Get Worse in the U.S., says Berkeley Lab Climate Scientist

By the end of this century climate change will result in more frequent and more extreme heat, more drought, and fewer extremes in cold weather in the United States. Average high temperatures could climb as much as 10 or more degrees Fahrenheit in some parts of the country. These are some of the projections made by Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab) climate scientist Michael Wehner and his co-authors on the National Climate Assessment (NCA).

NASA-CNES Sign Agreement to Implement Surface Water and Ocean Topography Mission

NASA and the French space agency Centre National d'Études Spatiales (CNES) have agreed to jointly build, launch, and operate a spacecraft to conduct the first-ever global survey of Earth's surface water and to map ocean surface height with unprecedented detail.

Changing Cattle Farming Land to Forest May Have Environmental and Ecological Benefits

Changing cattle fields to forests is a cheap way of tackling climate change and saving species threatened with extinction, a new study has found.

Extreme Weather Events Spur Support for Policy to Address Climate Change

Despite overwhelming scientific evidence for the impending dangers of human-made climate change, policy decisions leading to substantial emissions reduction have been slow. New work from Carnegie's Katharine Ricke and Ken Caldeira focuses on the intersection between personal and global impacts. They find that even as extreme weather events influence those who experience them to support policy to address climate change, waiting for the majority of people to live through such conditions firsthand could delay meaningful action by decades. Their findings are published by Nature Climate Change.

Changes in Stratospheric Winds May Not Have a Large Impact on Long-Term Changes in Tropospheric Ozone

New NASA research on natural ozone cycles suggests ozone levels in the lowest part of Earth's atmosphere probably won't be affected much by projected future strengthening of the circulating winds that transport ozone between Earth's two lowest atmospheric layers.
