Recent research conducted by the University of Stirling, published in Nature Ecology & Evolution, discovered that climate is the major factor in determining how rapidly dead plants decompose, allowing researchers to make more precise estimations about carbon emissions and climate change globally.
Since the 1950s, weather extremes have been more frequent and intense, and international hydrology specialists are utilizing new technology to map land areas that will be vulnerable to hotter, arid conditions as a result of climate change.
Scientists from Cal Poly Humboldt conducted a rangewide analysis of coast redwood (Sequoia sempervirens) to examine growth trends and understand how these trees are responding to recent environmental changes.
Due to recent changes in the climate, land use, infrastructure, and population expansion, more people than ever are at risk from flooding. To avoid physical and economic damage, it is essential to precisely estimate flood frequency and severity.
A new study led by researchers at The Australian National University (ANU) has shown that ecosystems in western parts of southeastern Australia – including western Victoria and western Tasmania – may be most at risk of feeling the impacts of climate change in the coming decades.
Researchers at the California Institute of Technology (Caltech) have been working on testing and unlocking the potential of space-based solar power (SBSP) on the recently launched Caltech Space Solar Power Project (SSPP).
Extreme and prolonged thermal bleaching has been experienced by the coral reefs next to the French Polynesian island of Moorea located in the central South Pacific Ocean.
How will our glaciers change during the 21st century? In a new study whose findings are published in Science (5 January), an international team1, including scientists from the CNRS and Université Toulouse III–Paul Sabatier, has demonstrated a loss of glacial mass greater than earlier projected—and specifically, 11% to 44% higher than estimates used in the most recent IPCC report.
According to Earth system scientists at the University of California, Irvine, climate-driven seawater heating is slowing down deep circulation patterns in the Atlantic and Southern oceans.
With a new analysis of long-term climate data, researchers say they now have a much better understanding of how climate change can impact and cause sea water temperatures on one side of the Indian Ocean to be so much warmer or cooler than the temperatures on the other - a phenomenon that can lead to sometimes deadly weather-related events like megadroughts in East Africa and severe flooding in Indonesia.
