Large-scale research of 47 species of monkeys and lemurs revealed that climate change and deforestation are pushing these tree-dwelling animals to the ground, putting them at greater risk owing to a lack of preferable food and shelter and may have more unfavorable interactions with humans and domestic animals.
Research engineers in the School of Mechanical Engineering at the University of New South Wales, Sydney, have managed to successfully convert a conventional diesel engine to a hybrid hydrogen-diesel engine with the potential to reduce CO2 emissions by at least 85%.
Gray whale migration along North America’s West Coast has been decreasing in recent years, according to a new NOAA Fisheries report. The population is currently down 38% from its high in 2015 and 2016, experts are investigating the causes.
By transforming carbon dioxide (CO2) into fuels and other valued chemicals at affordable prices on an industrial scale, a new technology developed at the University of Waterloo can make an important difference in the fight against climate change.
Scientists are ringing alarm bells about a significant new threat to U.S. water quality: as winters warm due to climate change, they are unleashing large amounts of nutrient pollution into lakes, rivers, and streams.
Some estimates of Antarctica's total contribution to sea-level rise may be over- or underestimated, after researchers detected a previously unknown source of ice loss variability.
A strategy to blanket Arctic sea ice with layers of tiny hollow glass spheres roughly the thickness of a human hair might actually increase sea-ice loss and warm the climate, rather than generating thick ice and lowering temperatures, as proponents say.
Deep valleys buried under the seafloor of the North Sea record how the ancient ice sheets that used to cover the UK and Europe expelled water to stop themselves from collapsing.
The Earth System Grid Federation, a multi-agency initiative that gathers and distributes data for top-tier projections of the Earth's climate, is preparing a series of upgrades that will make using the data easier and faster while improving how the information is curated.
"Blue carbon" is a term for carbon captured by the world's oceans and coastal ecosystems. Mangrove forests, tidal marshes, and seagrass beds are the main vegetated coastal areas that store vast amounts of blue carbon. It's not really blue – it's named after the color of the ocean.
