Can Ecosystem-Based Management Meet Conservation Goals?

Freshwater biodiversity is steadily decreasing. A research team headed by IGB and the Humboldt Universität zu Berlin (HU), in collaboration with angling clubs, performed whole-lake experiments in 20 lakes to enhance ecological conditions in a large-scale effort.

Sea-Level Rise may Disproportionately Affect Certain Asian Megacities

Sea level rise this century may disproportionately affect certain Asian megacities as well as western tropical Pacific islands and the western Indian Ocean, according to new research that looks at the effects of natural sea level fluctuations on the projected rise due to climate change.

Additive Reduces the Emission of Greenhouse Gases from Slurry

Greenhouse gases act like a layer of window glass in the atmosphere: They prevent heat from being radiated from the Earth's surface into space. Methane does that 28 times as effectively as carbon dioxide - it is (to stay in the picture) a kind of invisible double glazing.

Global Warming Could Trigger Chemical Changes in the Ocean Surface that Accelerate Climate Change

The oceans help to limit global warming by soaking up carbon dioxide emissions. But scientists have discovered that intense warming in the future could lessen that ability, leading to even more severe warming.

Alkalinity-Climate Feedback Loop Decelerates Ocean Carbon Absorption

The oceans help to minimize global warming by absorbing carbon dioxide emissions. However, researchers have discovered that future intense warming could reduce that ability, leading to even more intense warming.

Determining the Risks Posed by Aerosolized Coastal Water Pollution

According to recent research guided by the Scripps Institution of Oceanography at UC San Diego, coastal water pollution transfers to the atmosphere in the form of sea spray aerosol, which can reach people other than beachgoers, surfers, and swimmers.
