New System Turns "Waste" Carbon into Valuable Chemicals While Generating Useful Hydrogen

The holy grail of bio-fuel researchers is to develop a self-sustaining process that converts waste from sewage, food crops, algae and other renewable carbon sources into fuels, while keeping waste carbon out of our atmosphere and water.

Solar-Powered System Helps Reduce Methane Emissions from Landfills

The second-largest driver of global warming is methane, a greenhouse gas 28 times more potent than carbon dioxide. Landfills are a major source of methane, which is created when organic material decomposes underground.

Geospatial Scientists Find New Way to Detect Coastal Plastic Waste

Millions of tons of plastic enter the oceans every year. While stopping this flow is crucial, so is tracking down what's already there so we can clean it up.

Study Provides the Basis for Reliable Forecasts of Climate Change Effects in the Antarctic

Despite global warming and the sea-ice loss in the Arctic, the Antarctic sea-ice extent has remained largely unchanged since 1979. However, existing climate model-based simulations indicate significant sea-ice loss, contrary to actual observations.

University of Surrey and SSE Energy Solutions Unveil Partnership to Drive Up Renewable Energy Generation from 0.1% to 20%

The University of Surrey has today (Thursday 3rd February 2022) announced a strategic partnership with SSE Energy Solutions that will dramatically increase the amount of energy it generates and uses from renewable sources.

Study Reveals Warm Ocean Temperatures Driven by Climate Change is the New Normal

Exceedingly warm ocean temperatures pushed by climate change are considered to be the new normal. This was revealed by the New Monterey Bay Aquarium-led study.

Climate Change is Causing UK Plants to Flower a Month Earlier

Climate change is causing plants in the UK to flower a month earlier on average, which could have profound consequences for wildlife, agriculture and gardeners.

Researchers Call for Action in the Face of Extreme Weather Events

As climate events continue to cause substantial widespread loss, damage, and financial costs that fall heavier on developing nations, a new commentary in the inaugural issue of PLOS Climate by two researchers, including Stony Brook University's Professor Kevin A. Reed, calls for developed nations to direct resources toward operationalizing extreme weather events and impact attribution.

Lack of Oxygen Due to Climate Change may Impact Marine Ecosystems Worldwide

By 2080, around 70% of the world's oceans could be suffocating from a lack of oxygen as a result of climate change, potentially impacting marine ecosystems worldwide, according to a new study. The new models find mid-ocean depths that support many fisheries worldwide are already losing oxygen at unnatural rates and passed a critical threshold of oxygen loss in 2021.

Climate Change may Result in the Decline of Safe Havens for Coral Reefs

A new study predicts that climate change will result in near-total to total loss of existing locations where coral reefs are sheltered from rising ocean temperatures. Adele Dixon of the University of Leeds, U.K., and colleagues present these findings, which are at higher resolution than any previous analysis, in the open-access journal PLOS Climate on February 1, 2022.

Phase Out of Animal Agriculture and Switching to a Plant-Based Diet may Reduce Greenhouse Gas Emissions

The worldwide phase out of animal agriculture, combined with a global switch to a plant-based diet, would effectively halt the increase of atmospheric greenhouse gases for 30 years and give humanity more time to end its reliance on fossil fuels, according to a new study by scientists from Stanford University and the University of California, Berkeley.

Most Coral Reefs Will Suffer Heat Stress Even Under Paris Agreement Climate Warming Limits

Limiting global warming to 1.5 °C above pre-industrial levels will still be catastrophic for coral reefs, new research suggests.

Ending Animal Agriculture has Potential to Alter the Trajectory of Global Warming

A new study of the climate impacts of raising animals for food concludes that phasing out all animal agriculture has the potential to substantially alter the trajectory of global warming.

WVU Researchers Receive $7.5 Million to Integrate Renewable Energy with the Power Grid

Integrating renewable energy with the power grid continues to be a big challenge for the electrical grid infrastructure in the United States. While the solution isn't simple, it's not impossible either, and researchers from West Virginia University have been competitively awarded $7.5 million from the United States Department of Energy to help solve a critical part of the problem.

Scientists Propose Specific Set of Targets for Achieving Sustainable Development Goals

The world is not on track to achieve all the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) by 2030, and more insight into how we can get back on track is urgently needed. An article by an international team of scientists proposes a more limited set of more easily measurable targets that can be used in scenario analysis for achieving all of the SDGs by the target date.
