EPFL Researchers Track Micropollutants in Lake Geneva Using Computer Simulations

Antibiotics, urban pesticides, and other contaminants accumulate where wastewater is released into Lake Geneva. Using computer simulations, EPFL researchers have shown that the risk they pose is highest during summer and that they degrade most efficiently during the winter.

New Study Provides Key Insights into Dynamics of Deep Biosphere

Traces of past microbial life in sediments off the coast of Peru document how the microbial ecosystem under the seafloor has responded to climate change over hundreds of thousands of years. For more a decade scientists at the Max Planck Institute for Marine Microbiology and their colleagues at MARUM and the University of Aarhus have investigated microbial life from this habitat.

Manmade Greenhouse Gas Emissions Trigger Ocean Biogeochemical Changes Affecting Marine Ecosystems

An ambitious new study that includes Lisa Levin of Scripps Institution of Oceanography at UC San Diego describes the full chain of events by which ocean biogeochemical changes triggered by manmade greenhouse gas emissions may cascade through marine habitats and organisms, penetrating to the deep ocean and eventually influencing humans.

Study Reports Coal-Powered Synthetic Natural Gas Plants in China to Have Heavy Environment Toll

Coal-powered synthetic natural gas plants being planned in China would produce seven times more greenhouse gas emissions than conventional natural gas plants, and use up to 100 times the water as shale gas production, according to a new study by Duke University researchers.

New Approach Provides Early Warning of Potential Overfishing Threats

A new UC Santa Barbara study shows that threats created by overfishing can be identified decades before the fish species at risk experience high overly harvest rates and subsequent population declines.

NSF Center to Study Effect of Atmospheric Particles on the Environment and Climate

Chancellor Pradeep K. Khosla will today announce a five-year, $20 million award from the National Science Foundation to support an innovative program of research and education on how interactions between air and sea alter the chemistry of the atmosphere to influence climate.

NPL Researchers Enhance Ocean Color Measurement Techniques Required for Ocean Health Monitoring

The Centre for Carbon Measurement at the National Physical Laboratory (NPL) is working to improve ocean colour measurements vital for modelling climate and monitoring the health of the oceans. Colour differences (change in spectral reflectance of sunlight) in the oceans can provide a measure of phytoplankton and algae blooms - important as their chlorophyll serves as a natural sink of CO2 and also sometimes pollution.

UEA Researchers Report Upset in Natural Chemical Cycles Due to Rising Ocean Temperatures

New research from the University of East Anglia shows that rising ocean temperatures will upset natural cycles of carbon dioxide, nitrogen and phosphorous.

Fossil Fuel Emissions May Cause Coral Reef Ecosystems to Shift to the Sub-Tropics

The best real estate for coral reefs over the coming decades will no longer be around the equator but in the sub-tropics, new research from the University of Bristol suggests.
