Deeper Snow in the Arctic Leads to Increased Emissions of Greenhouse Gasses

Human-caused climate change is shortening the snow cover period in the Arctic. But according to new research led by Earth system scientists at the University of California, Irvine, some parts of the Arctic are getting deeper snowpack than normal, and that deep snow is driving the thawing of long-frozen permafrost carbon reserves and leading to increased emissions of greenhouse gasses like carbon dioxide and methane.

Removing Microplastics From Water Using Plant-Based Materials

Plants could be the solution to the impending threat of microplastic pollution. Researchers at UBC’s BioProducts Institute discovered that adding tannins—natural plant compounds that cause the mouth to pucker when they bite into an unripe fruit—to a layer of wood dust can create a filter that traps nearly all microplastic particles in water.
