Although a significant build-up in greenhouse gases in the atmosphere would alter worldwide precipitation patterns, a widely discussed technological approach to reduce future global warming would also interfere with rainfall and snowfall, new research shows.
Ceram, the international materials technology company and CICS, the international sustainability assurance provider, will be holding a free breakfast forum ‘The Benefits of Carbon Reporting’ on Friday 29 November at their headquarters in Stoke-on-Trent.
Jian Wang, an atmospheric scientist at the U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE) Brookhaven National Laboratory, has been awarded the Kenneth T. Whitby Award in recognition of his outstanding technical contributions to aerosol science and technology. The award honors Wang for developing and implementing new techniques for measuring concentrations and size distributions of tiny particles in Earth's atmosphere and assessing their impact on the formation of clouds and Earth's climate.
The ozone hole that forms each year in the stratosphere over Antarctica was slightly smaller in 2013 than average in recent decades, according to NASA satellite data.
In a warming world, how far will forest species need to shift in space in order to find survivable climate conditions? And how much will temperature change on the forest floor – the landscape that serves as a nursery for tree seedlings, and thus is critical to forest survival?
Traces of past microbial life in sediments off the coast of Peru document how the microbial ecosystem under the seafloor has responded to climate change over hundreds of thousands of years. For more a decade scientists at the Max Planck Institute for Marine Microbiology and their colleagues at MARUM and the University of Aarhus have investigated microbial life from this habitat.
The Chinese glaciologist and climate scientist Dr. Qin Dahe has been awarded this year’s Volvo Environment Prize. The award winner is a key contributor to the fifth assessment report from the UN climate panel (IPPC), whose first section, the “Physical Science Basis”, was released in September. He attracted wide attention last year with a report on how climate change leads to more extreme weather events.
Early human evolution was driven by short pulses of rapid environmental change in East Africa, according to new research from academics at UCL and The University of Manchester.
A new study looking at the impacts of climate change on the world’s ocean systems concludes that by the year 2100, about 98 percent of the oceans will be affected by acidification, warming temperatures, low oxygen, or lack of biological productivity – and most areas will be stricken by a multitude of these stressors.
An ambitious new study that includes Lisa Levin of Scripps Institution of Oceanography at UC San Diego describes the full chain of events by which ocean biogeochemical changes triggered by manmade greenhouse gas emissions may cascade through marine habitats and organisms, penetrating to the deep ocean and eventually influencing humans.
