The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change has said that simply reducing anthropogenic carbon dioxide emissions will not be enough to avoid a global warming catastrophe. Novel solutions are needed to help safely, permanently and cost-effectively sequester atmospheric CO2.
Trees play an essential role in the well-being of city dwellers -; but for how long? An international research team, including a CNRS researcher from the Ecology and Dynamic of Anthropogenic Systems laboratory at the University of Picardy Jules Verne (Laboratoire Ecologie et dynamique des systèmes anthropisés, CNRS/Université of Picardy Jules Verne), has published the first global risk assessment for tree species planted in cities in the current context of increasing temperatures and decreasing annual precipitation due to climate change: 56–65% of these species are already at risk today, and this figure could rise to 68–76% by 2050.
Mangrove forests have been silently keeping carbon out of the Earth’s atmosphere for the past 5,000 years, according to researchers, who have discovered a new reason to preserve them.
A new Japanese study addresses and may be able to overcome the challenges presented by underground carbon sequestration.
Researchers have created the first maps of Antarctic Ocean temperatures over the past 45 million years, providing crucial information on future sea level changes.
Scientists in China have developed a new integrated system to reduce transportation-based carbon emissions.
According to the most recent Diverfarming project study, planting perennial crops boosts soil carbon sequestration and lowers greenhouse gas emissions.
Researchers have developed a new model to reframe the shift to low-carbon energy.
Scientists are currently researching a recent effect of global warming — drought — which will have substantial economic repercussions.
Recent efforts have concentrated on ice-sheet geometry, fracture, and surface melting to better understand how melting Antarctic ice will affect the planet’s oceans.
