Mar. 20, 2024 To 'breathe' in an environment without oxygen, bacteria in the ground beneath our feet depend upon a single family of proteins to transfer excess electrons, produced during the ...
Mar. 20, 2024 Infectious diseases specialists call the medical field to be ready to deal with the impact of climate change on spreading diseases, such as malaria, Valley fever, E. coli and Lyme ...
Mar. 20, 2024 Researchers showed in 2022 that heat index calculations by NOAA based on analyses from the 1970s don't adequately reflect the heat stress humans feel during the extremes of heat and humidity ...
Mar. 20, 2024 Claims that climate change is natural are inconsistent with new oceanic temperature ...
Mar. 20, 2024 Researchers sought to understand how diatoms -- microscopic, photosynthetic algae that make up an estimated 20 percent of global carbon sequestration and oxygen production -- are able to bloom in an ...
Mar. 18, 2024 To better understand a carbon sink in danger, scientists are turning to tiny organisms that have long been ...
Mar. 18, 2024 Researchers have used a series of artificial stream channels to mimic the behavior of headwater creeks under future climate change scenarios. They found that drier conditions shifted the life cycles ...
Mar. 18, 2024 When climate scientists look to the future to determine what the effects of climate change may be, they use computer models to simulate potential outcomes such as how precipitation will change in a ...
Mar. 18, 2024 Researchers recently reported on the science behind its special concrete, that can warm itself up when it snows, or as temperatures approach ...
Mar. 15, 2024 In order to limit the increase in global average temperature to 1.5 C, it is essential to drastically reduce carbon dioxide emissions in the atmosphere. This would mean not exploiting most of the ...
Mar. 14, 2024 The period that liquid water was present on the surface of Mars may have been shorter than previously thought. Channel landforms called gullies, previously thought to be formed exclusively by liquid ...
Mar. 13, 2024 Carbon dioxide emissions are not typically associated with water ways, like streams and rivers, but emerging research shows that water bodies play an important role in storing and releasing carbon ...
Mar. 13, 2024 A new study identifies the role aerosols over Asia is having on the AMOC, a complex system of currents in the Atlantic ...
Mar. 13, 2024 Annual snow cover days in all major skiing regions are projected to decrease dramatically as a result of climate change, with 1 in 8 ski areas losing all natural snow cover this century under high ...
Mar. 13, 2024 Soil stores 80 percent of carbon on earth, yet with increasing cycles of drought, that crucial reservoir is cracking and breaking down, releasing even more greenhouse gases creating an amplified ...
Mar. 13, 2024 Emperor penguin populations have been exceedingly difficult to monitor because of their remote locations, and because individuals form breeding colonies on seasonal sea ice fastened to land (known as ...
Mar. 13, 2024 Researchers have conducted the first large-scale observation and modeling study of northwest Greenland's Petermann Glacier. Their findings reveal the intrusion of warm ocean water beneath the ...
Mar. 13, 2024 A comprehensive study of the floristic diversity of Agguttinni Territorial Park, Nunavut's newest and largest Territorial Park, has documented 141 vascular plant, 69 bryophyte, and 93 lichen ...
