As China rapidly adopts clean energy, use of traditional stoves persists Posted: 05 Dec 2019 12:53 PM PST Old habits are hard to break. A new study of replacement of traditional wood and coal burning stoves with clean energy in China suggests that, without a better understanding of the reasons behind people's reluctance to give up traditional stoves, it will be difficult for policies in China and elsewhere in the world to succeed in encouraging this shift towards clean energy. |
Recycling nutrient-rich industrial waste products enhances soil, reduces carbon Posted: 05 Dec 2019 11:51 AM PST Recycling biotechnology byproducts can enhance soil health while reducing carbon emissions and maintaining crop yields. |
Rats exchange information about danger in a reciprocal fashion Posted: 05 Dec 2019 11:18 AM PST Rats exchange information about danger in a reciprocal fashion, and this information transfer is at least partially mediated by a brain region called the anterior cingulate cortex. |
Can Arctic 'ice management' combat climate change? Posted: 05 Dec 2019 10:06 AM PST According to a much-debated geo-engineering approach, both sea-ice retreat and global warming could be slowed by using millions of wind-powered pumps, drifting in the sea ice, to promote ice formation during the Arctic winter. |
Damaging rains from hurricanes more intense after winds begin to subside Posted: 05 Dec 2019 10:05 AM PST Howling wind drives torrential rain sideways as tall, slender palms bow and tree limbs snap. A hurricane approaches, its gale-force winds wreaking havoc as it nears the coast. Storm surges combine with the downpour, inundating the area with water. |
Changing wildfires in the California's Sierra Nevada may threaten northern goshawks Posted: 05 Dec 2019 06:14 AM PST Research suggests fire, as it becomes more frequent and severe, poses a substantial risk to goshawks in the Sierra Nevada region. |
Carbon emissions from volcanic rocks can create global warming Posted: 05 Dec 2019 04:30 AM PST Greenhouse gas emissions released directly from the movement of volcanic rocks are capable of creating massive global warming effects -- a discovery which could transform the way scientists predict climate change, a new study reveals. |
Outlook for the polar regions in a 2-degrees-warmer world Posted: 04 Dec 2019 11:49 AM PST With 2019 on pace as one of the warmest years on record, a major new study reveals how rapidly the Arctic is warming and examines global consequences of continued polar warming. The study reports that the Arctic has warmed by 0.75 degrees C in the last decade alone. |
Looking at tropical forests through new eyes Posted: 04 Dec 2019 11:49 AM PST Air-based maps of plant chemistry are improving carbon cycling models in hyper-diverse tropical forests. |
Long-distance timber trade underpinned the Roman Empire's construction Posted: 04 Dec 2019 11:48 AM PST The ancient Romans relied on long-distance timber trading to construct their empire, according to a new study. |
Lake methane emissions should prompt rethink on climate change Posted: 04 Dec 2019 09:45 AM PST Study sheds new light on the impact of natural methane production on global climate change assessments. |
New, young volcano discovered in the Pacific Posted: 04 Dec 2019 09:45 AM PST Researchers have discovered a new petit-spot volcano at the oldest section of the Pacific Plate. |
As a way to fight climate change, not all soils are created equal Posted: 04 Dec 2019 07:05 AM PST Soil scientists offer a newly nuanced understanding of different soil organic matter components that can be increased through varied management strategies. |
Scientists devise catalyst that uses light to turn carbon dioxide to fuel Posted: 04 Dec 2019 07:05 AM PST Scientists have used sunlight and a catalyst largely made of copper to transform carbon dioxide to methanol. |
