When volcanoes erupt, they attract more attention. However, new research guided by the University of Washington reveals that during their quiet phases, volcanoes leak a surprisingly large amount of their atmosphere- and climate-changing gases.
Researchers Down Under have performed an astonishing feat by discovering a cost-effective, energy-efficient method that splits seawater to produce sustainable green hydrogen.
Climate change alters global atmospheric circulation, which affects precipitation and evaporation in large parts of the world and, as a result, the amount of river water available for local use.
According to a modeling study published in The Lancet and spearheaded by the Barcelona Institute for Global Health (ISGlobal), an institution supported by “la Caixa” Foundation, urban heat islands cause more than 4% of deaths in cities during the summer months, and one-third of these deaths could be avoided by reaching a tree cover of 30%.
According to a UC Riverside investigation, nitrogen released by gas-powered machines causes dry soil to release carbon into the atmosphere, where it can cause climate change.
Limiting global warming to 1.5 degrees Celsius is currently not plausible, as is shown in a new, central study released by Universität Hamburg's Cluster of Excellence "Climate, Climatic Change, and Society" (CLICCS).
More than three times as many houses and other structures burned in Western wildfires in 2010-2020 than in the previous decade, and that wasn't only because more acreage burned, a new analysis has found.
Plankton in polar oceans discharges benzene and toluene, two biological gases that contribute to cloud formation and impact climate, according to ICM-CSIC researchers.
Research headed by the Spanish National Research Council’s (CSIC) Institute of Environmental Assessment and Water Research (IDAEA) and the Mediterranean Institute for Advanced Studies (IMEDEA CSIC-UIB) found that injecting billions of tons of atmospheric CO2 (carbon dioxide) underground has a low risk of leakage back to the surface.
The tipping of one element of the Earth’s system has been speculated to catalyze the tipping of others in a cascade. A study provides an example of an alternative option in which the breakdown of one component may reduce the likelihood of another system tipping.
