Coal-Tar-Based Sealants Emitting PAHs at Rates Possibly Greater Than Auto Emissions
According to several newly published reports by the U.S. Geological Survey, coal-tar-based sealants are emitting polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) into the air at rates possibly…
New Models Hone Picture of Climate Impact on Earth
While climate models can forecast temperature changes and precipitation, they struggle to indicate how climate change will affect the factors that make Earth habitable, such…
Natural Gas Mining Could Leak Enough Methane, No Longer Considered as Clean
Natural gas, which is often perceived as a clean alternative to coal and oil, can be advantageous since it produces fewer greenhouse-gas emissions than other…
Researchers Believe Climate Change is Increasing Frequency of Storms
Researchers from MIT and Princeton University recently published their findings on climate change and the effects it is having on so-called “100-year storms” like Hurricane…
Research Shows Roughly 150 Billion Tons of Ice Lost Annually
Recent research from the University of Colorado Boulder, in a joint effort with NASA, shows that regions of Greenland and Antarctica are shedding roughly 148…
Warming Ocean Temperatures May Reduce the Survival Rate of Elephant Seals
Researchers from the Alfred Wegener Institute for Polar and Marine Research in the Helmholtz Association are studying how warmer ocean water is affecting the diet…
Researchers Study Zeolite for Filtering Out Carbon Dioxide
Researchers from the National Institute of Standards and Technology and the University of Delaware are working together to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. They believe a…
Scientists Develop Material that Absorb Carbon Dioxide From the Air
By using fumed silica impregnated with polyethlenimine, researchers at the USC Loker Hydrocarbon Research Institute aim to recycle harmful excess carbon dioxide in the atmosphere….
New Study Questions the Claims of Worldwide Increased Jellyfish Blooms
New research from an international team of scientists challenges the claim that the world’s oceans are experiencing increases in jellyfish due to human activities such…
NASA’s Newest CERES Instrument Scans Earth
The Clouds and the Earth’s Radiant Energy System (CERES) on board NASA’s Suomi NPP satellite began taking Earth-viewing data just a few days ago. The…
Sea Cucumbers Counter Negative Effects of Ocean Acidification
Researchers studying the effects of climate change on coral reefs at One Tree Island found that sea cucumbers play a vital role in reducing the…
Intercontinental Crop Losses Caused by Ozone
Researchers at the University of Leeds, in collaboration with the University of York, published a new study showing the extent of the Northern Hemisphere’s intercontinental…
Researchers Study the Link Between Gas Hydrates and Climate Warming
Recent research indicates that gas hydrate deposits should remain stable for a few thousand years and of those that become unstable, very few are likely…
IODP Expedition 339 Reports Findings from Mediterranean Seafloor
The 35 scientists from 14 countries participating in the Integrated Ocean Drilling Program (IODP) Expedition 339, Mediterranean Outflow, retrieved the first sediment samples from below…
Researchers at MIT and Yale Predict Climate Change to be a Major Expense in Tropical Storm Damage
Climate change could cost North America, East Asia, and the Caribbean billions more than it already does. New information from researchers at MIT and Yale…
