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.

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.

Increasing Solar Energy Plants Should be a Priority for Economic, Environmental Reasons, Says Expert

Solar energy is one of the most cost-effective ways to generate electricity, cheaper even than existing coal-fired power stations, says environmental and technology expert Professor Ravi Silva, Director of the Advanced Technology Institute at the University of Surrey. Increasing the amount of energy derived from solar power should therefore be a priority for economic reasons, as well as environmental.

Expanding Green Energy Production Sites Will Not Affect Conservation Efforts

A study led by the University of Southampton has found that expanding green energy production sites in the future won't necessarily be a threat to protected areas of land.

Illegal Gold Mining in the Peruvian Amazon Results in High Levels of Atmospheric Mercury Pollution

New study Amazon forests capture high levels of atmospheric mercury pollution from artisanal gold mining published in Nature Communications. An international team of researchers documented substantial mercury accumulation in soils, biomass, and resident songbirds in some of the Amazon's most protected and biodiverse areas.
