| Two pathogens linked to salmon health and survival Posted: 19 May 2022 05:45 PM PDT Many wild salmon populations in B.C. have experienced substantial declines over the last three decades. New research can help chart a course towards better protection of wild salmon. |
| New breathable gas sensors may improve monitoring of health, environment Posted: 19 May 2022 01:19 PM PDT Newly developed flexible, porous and highly sensitive nitrogen dioxide sensors that can be applied to skin and clothing have potential applications in health care, environmental health monitoring and military use, according to researchers. |
| Past events reveal how future warming could harm cold-water corals Posted: 19 May 2022 11:10 AM PDT How will future warming of the planet impact cold-water corals? A new analysis of ancient evidence from the last major global warming event identifies food and oxygen supply as key environmental factors that influence the vitality of cold-water corals in the North Atlantic Ocean and the Mediterranean Sea. |
| Environment scientists close in on 'golden spike' to define Anthropocene Posted: 19 May 2022 11:09 AM PDT Researchers searching for a 'golden spike' to formally define humanity's current geological period -- and acknowledge human impact on our planet -- have announced a major step in their analysis. |
| How a cognitive bias is blocking the rise of electric cars Posted: 19 May 2022 09:56 AM PDT What are the barriers to the adoption of electric cars? Although the main financial and technological obstacles have been removed, their market share still needs to increase. In a recent study, a team investigated the cognitive factors that still dissuade many people from switching to electric cars. They found that car owners systematically underestimate the capacity of electric driving ranges to meet their daily needs. |
| How ice clouds develop: Asian monsoon influences large parts of the Northern Hemisphere Posted: 19 May 2022 07:38 AM PDT Atmospheric researchers have discovered a mechanism that allows nuclei for ice clouds to form and rapidly grow in the upper troposphere. Although the conditions for nucleus formation are only fulfilled in the Asian monsoon region, the mechanism is expected to have an impact on ice cloud formation across large parts of the Northern Hemisphere. |
| United States' ocean conservation efforts have major gaps, analysis shows Posted: 18 May 2022 05:06 AM PDT More than 98 percent of U.S. waters outside the central Pacific Ocean are not part of a marine protected area, and the ones that are tend toward 'lightly' or 'minimally' protected from damaging human activity, research shows. |
| Posted: 17 May 2022 06:48 AM PDT Scientists have demonstrated that a new geochemical archive -- 182-Tungsten in banded iron formations -- can be used to simultaneously trace both the evolution of the Earth's mantle and continents throughout Earth's history. This offers new opportunities to better understand the Precambrian Earth in the future. |
