Greater Warming of Humboldt Current System Highly Impacts the Ecosystem and Global Fishing Industry

Fundamental changes in the ocean, such as warming, acidification or oxygen depletion, may have significant consequences for the composition of fish stocks, including the displacement of individual species. Researchers at Kiel University (CAU), together with colleagues from Germany, Canada, the USA, and France, have reconstructed environmental conditions of the warm period 125,000 years ago (Eemian interglacial) using sediment samples from the Humboldt Current System off Peru.

New Data-Driven Online Approach to Forecast the Capacity Degradation Trajectory of Lithium Metal Batteries

With the long-term goal to realize carbon neutrality, lithium battery has acquired a growingly central role in the development of human society. The accurate yet efficient prognosis on battery state of health (SOH) remains vital in ensuring a safe and reliable operation. In addition, as the demand to increase battery energy density continues to grow, the development of novel, high-energy-density battery systems such as lithium metal batteries is of paramount significance.

Study: More than 68% of the Western U.S. Affected in One Day by Air Pollution from Wildfires

Large wildfires and severe heat events are happening more often at the same time, worsening air pollution across the western United States, a study led by Washington State University researchers has found. In 2020, more than 68% of the western U.S. – representing about 43 million people – were affected in one day by the resulting harmful-levels of air pollution, the highest number in 20 years.

Study Uncovers the Different Effects of Ocean Acidification on Phytoplankton's Energy Stores

Ocean acidification-;which is mainly caused by carbon dioxide gas in the atmosphere dissolving into the ocean-;is a significant threat to the structure and function of marine life. In a study published in the New Phytologist, investigators have uncovered the different effects that ocean acidification has on the energy stores of phytoplankton (single-celled plants that are critical to the aquatic food chain) called diatoms.

Cold Weather Kills a Lot More People than Heat in India

A study of the correlation between temperature and mortality in the Indian city of Pune has found that cold, rather than heat, is by far the bigger killer. This is at odds with warnings and mitigating measures authorities have been taking in anticipation of climate change.

Power Costs and Reliability Remain Vulnerable to Extreme Weather on the West Coast of U.S.

Two new studies led by a North Carolina State University researcher offer a preview of what electricity consumers on the West Coast could experience under two different future scenarios: one where excessive heat due to climate change strains power supplies, and one where the grid shifts toward renewable energy while the climate follows historic trends. In both cases, they found power costs and reliability remain vulnerable to extreme weather.

Study Shows Deforestation Worsens Global Warming and Increases Flash Flooding in West African Coastal Cities

In the past 30 years, the frequency of thunderstorms in some rapidly-growing African coastal cities has doubled, with a huge portion of this increase connected to the impact of deforestation on the local climate, a new study has discovered.
