| Groundwater in California’s Central Valley may be unable to recover from past and future droughts Posted: 18 Nov 2021 05:34 PM PST Groundwater in California's Central Valley is at risk of being depleted by pumping too much water during and after droughts. Under a best-case scenario, the researchers found there is a high probability it would take six to eight years to fully recover overdrafted water, but current California climate projections suggest realistic recovery times are even longer. |
| Earthquakes and extreme rainfall lead to a significant increase in the rates of landslides in Nepal Posted: 18 Nov 2021 03:15 AM PST Researchers outline how they were able to establish a clear pattern between the strength of the monsoon season in Nepal and the amount of landsliding over a 30-year period between 1988 and 2018. |
| Warmer soil stores less carbon Posted: 18 Nov 2021 03:15 AM PST Global warming will cause the world's soil to release carbon, new research shows. |
| Different kinds of marine phytoplankton respond differently to warming ocean temperatures Posted: 17 Nov 2021 06:16 PM PST A team of researchers has concluded that different types of phytoplankton will react differently to increasing ocean temperatures resulting from the changing climate. An examination of how four key groups of phytoplankton will respond to ocean temperatures forecast to occur between 2080 and 2100 suggests that their growth rates and distribution patterns will likely be dissimilar, resulting in significant implications for the future composition of marine communities around the globe. |
| The social cost of nitrous oxide is understated under current estimates, new analysis concludes Posted: 17 Nov 2021 08:51 AM PST The social cost of nitrous oxide, a greenhouse gas that is the largest remaining threat to the ozone layer, is understated, concludes an international team of researchers. In their assessment, the authors write that improving the accuracy of these calculations would not only give a more accurate picture of the impact of climate change, but also spur nations to more aggressively address it. |
