Study Shows a Basic Sum of all the Contributors to Sea-Level Rise Strengthens Confidence in Earth Observation Data

An ESA-funded research instills confidence in the understanding of worldwide mean sea-level rise by placing precise numbers and accuracy measures on individual reasons for sea-level rise.

Study of Airborne Microorganisms Reveals the Impact of Global Warming on Ecosystems

In a landmark study of airborne microorganisms from ground level up to 3,500 metres, scientists from the Singapore Centre for Environmental Life Sciences Engineering (SCELSE) at Nanyang Technological University, Singapore (NTU Singapore) have found that bacteria and fungi populate the planet's lower atmosphere in very specific ways and if changed, may negatively impact human health and food supply.

Detailed Insight into Climate Processes in the Central Arctic

Hundreds of international researchers are currently analyzing observations from the one-year MOSAiC expedition, during which hundreds of environmental parameters were recorded with unprecedented accuracy and frequency over a full annual cycle in the Central Arctic Ocean.

Study Recommends Using Dry Powder Inhaler to Help Cut Carbon Footprint of Asthma Treatment

A pharma sector-sponsored study, published online in the journal Thorax, shows that shifting from a metered-dose inhaler to a dry powder model for maintenance therapy more than halves the carbon footprint of people with asthma, and without causing deteriorating their condition.

Coral Reefs Face Decline if Global Warming Increases by 2 °C

A study highlights that an increase in global warming by 2°C could cause the loss of cool areas in the sea known as thermal refugia that protects coral reefs from increasing temperatures.

Reduction in Emissions Could Preserve Snow Cover and Below Freezing Temperatures

Winters are warming faster than summers in North America, impacting everything from ecosystems to the economy. Global climate models indicate that this trend will continue in future winters but there is a level of uncertainty around the magnitude of warming.

Understanding How Ghost Forests Produce Methane

Recent research indicates that ghost forests produce an abundance of methane. While the methane is initially produced in the soil, the trees act like vents that allow the methane to rise and escape into the atmosphere.

Global Warming will be Catastrophic for all Coral Reefs, Study Finds

A newly performed alarming study has shown that global warming of 1.5 °C above pre-industrial levels will be catastrophic for nearly all coral reefs. This includes those which are once thought of as refuges.

Study Provides the Basis for Reliable Forecasts of Climate Change Effects in the Antarctic

Despite global warming and the sea-ice loss in the Arctic, the Antarctic sea-ice extent has remained largely unchanged since 1979. However, existing climate model-based simulations indicate significant sea-ice loss, contrary to actual observations.

Climate Change may Result in the Decline of Safe Havens for Coral Reefs

A new study predicts that climate change will result in near-total to total loss of existing locations where coral reefs are sheltered from rising ocean temperatures. Adele Dixon of the University of Leeds, U.K., and colleagues present these findings, which are at higher resolution than any previous analysis, in the open-access journal PLOS Climate on February 1, 2022.
