Global warming
Climate change is altering the world's wetlands at an alarming rate, with devastating effects on biodiversity and ecosystems. Recent research from Karunya Institute of Technology and Sciences in Coimbatore, India, investigates the impact of climate change on these delicate ecosystems. The study, funded by the National Science Foundation,
Global warming
A recent study conducted by researchers from the Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences has found that China's Energy Transition Policy has significantly enhanced corporate carbon reduction performance, with particularly pronounced effects in economically developed eastern regions. The study, which employed a difference-in-differences (DID) model using panel data from
Global warming
Scientists at Fujian Normal University in Fuzhou, China, have discovered that combining green manure incorporation with optimized water management can effectively mitigate methane emissions while sustaining rice productivity. Through a two-year field experiment, the researchers found that withholding flooding for 10 days significantly reduced methane emissions and greenhouse gas intensity,
Ecosystems
Australian researchers have published a new study on climate change, uncovering the genetic mechanisms behind coral recovery from heat stress. The study, conducted at the University of Western Australia, focused on a common Acropora coral species from the World Heritage-listed Ningaloo Reef. The research team, led by Declan J. A.
Coastal ecosystems
Climate change is projected to intensify extreme weather events, which can have devastating effects on ecosystems and the species that inhabit them. A recent study by researchers from the University of Bordeaux has found that non-indigenous species like the Asian date mussel Arcuatula senhousia can cope with extreme events more
Global warming
Climate change is dramatically altering regional and seasonal patterns of mosquito-borne diseases, making proactive intervention more challenging. A recent study conducted by researchers from the National Library of Medicine (NLM) and colleagues used machine learning and satellite data to estimate the habitability of ecologies worldwide, finding a decrease in risk
Global warming
A severe drought in Panama in 2023 depleted water available to the Panama Canal, reducing shipping by 30%. A new study projects that if greenhouse gas emissions continue to rise, historic water lows could become the new norm by the end of the century. The study, led by Samuel Munoz,
Global warming
Scientists have discovered that climate change driven ocean warming can significantly increase the risk of methane release into the atmosphere from sediments in the coastal Baltic Sea. According to research conducted by Songjun Li and colleagues at Linnaeus University, long-term warming of marine sediments can lead to a 50-fold increase
Global warming
Research published in the Physics of Fluids journal, a special issue comprising 15 papers, has shed light on the complexities of geophysical flows in the atmosphere and oceans. According to the study, these flows are characterized by a wide range of scales, making their physical representation and interpretation crucial for
Climate models
Researchers from the University of Toulouse have made significant advancements in climate modeling by incorporating an intermediate-complexity snow-physics scheme into a sea ice model. This breakthrough has shed new light on the critical role snow plays in the formation and sustainability of sea ice. The study's findings have
Global warming
Research conducted by Colorado State University has made significant advancements in understanding the complexities of climate modeling. The study has revealed that the sea surface temperature (SST) over the eastern tropical and subtropical Pacific is driven in part by SST variability over the Southern Ocean. Financial support for this research
Global warming
A new study conducted by researchers at the University of Delhi explores the relationship between board gender diversity and corporate greenhouse gas emissions in two contrasting economies, the United Kingdom and India. The research, published in the Gender in Management: An International Journal, analyzes panel data from 2014 to 2023
