A cooling effect has been produced from cumulus clouds in trade-wind regions that cover around 20% of the planet.
According to a new study headed by Maria Luiza Pedrotti of Sorbonne Universite, nearly 200 species of bacteria tend to colonize microfibers present in the Mediterranean Sea.
A team of researchers at Rice University has developed an affordable catalyst that could unlock the potential to create sustainable, low cost-hydrogen.

Global climate change and, in particular, the warming of the oceans has caused the frequency and severity of marine heatwaves to increase every year, with serious consequences for the stability and resilience of coral populations.
Scientists from Argonne will study the soil around ground-mounted solar panels and develop a national soil database to better understand impacts on the ecosystem.
At Tel Aviv University and the Interuniversity Institute for Marine Sciences in Eilat, a new study analyzed the larvae development of corals and plastic additives on the reproductive process and other organisms discovered in Eilat’s coral reef.
A warming climate seems responsible for a decrease in sea ice in the Arctic Ocean, where the loss of sea ice has significant economic, ecological, and climate effects.
When storms wash the sand from the coast out to sea, large swaths of land are devoured by the sea.
According to a recent study, ocean acidification and global warming pose a threat to marine organisms like corals, bryozoans, mollusks, sea urchins, and crustaceans that assemble their skeletons and shells from calcium carbonate (chalk).
Drylands make up nearly half the Earth's land surface, and the effects of grazing livestock on their ability to support people, plants and animals is a key question as the global climate changes and warms.
Scientists estimate that northern peatlands contain one third of the Earth's soil carbon. This makes them important ecosystems for carbon storage, which keeps carbon dioxide out of the atmosphere and controls climate change.
Zero deforestation commitments may inadvertently leave vital habitats in Latin America and Africa vulnerable to agricultural expansion, a new study has found.
The growing demand for lithium-ion batteries puts pressure on the industry to improve all steps in the product chain, including the heating processes.
Researchers from Nanyang Technological University, Singapore (NTU Singapore) have developed a carbonization method for converting waste paper into pure carbon, which could be used in lithium-ion batteries.

Grazing is a trillion-dollar industry that is especially vital in drylands, which comprise around 40% of the Earth’s land surface and are home to half of the world’s livestock.
