Mangroves Can Help Offset Carbon Emissions

Mangroves have endured the test of time, and are capable of living in water that is 100 times saltier than what other plants can withstand. They have flourished in some of the toughest environmental surroundings for millions of years.

ORNL Researchers Investigate the Effects of Manganese on Soil Carbon and Climate

While most people think first of atmospheric carbon emissions from fossil fuels when considering climate change, the planet's soil actually stores more carbon and could become a major source of carbon release or a mitigation tactic in the years ahead.

Tropical Storm Rainfall Totals Increased by Human-Induced Climate Change

A study that analyzed the entire 2020 North Atlantic hurricane season, in conjunction with human activity that affects climate change, found that hourly hurricane rainfall totals were up to 10 percent higher compared to hurricanes that took place in the pre-industrial (1850) era.

Ocean Warming Likely to Shift Marine Ecosystems in Unforeseen Ways

Warming of the oceans due to climate change will mean fewer productive fish species to catch in the future, according to a new Rutgers study that found as temperatures warm, predator-prey interactions will prevent species from keeping up with the conditions where they could thrive.
