Countries Emitting Least Amount of Greenhouse Gases More Vulnerable to Climate Change Effects

A new study by University of Queensland and WCS shows a dramatic global mismatch between nations producing the most greenhouse gases and the ones most vulnerable to the effects of climate change.

Dartmouth College-led Study Shows How Frost Induced by Climate Change Affects Early Plant Reproduction

Climate change may harm early-flowering plants not through plant-pollinator mismatch but through frost damage, a Dartmouth College-led study shows.

Scientists Report Effects of Shipping Traffic and Offshore Construction Activities on Marine Ecosystem

Underwater sound linked to human activity could alter the behaviour of seabed creatures that play a vital role in marine ecosystems, according to new research from the University of Southampton.

JRC Scientists Reveal Biophysical Effects of Forest Losses

An article by JRC scientists published today in Science, reveals that the biophysical effects of forest losses substantially affect the local climate by altering the average temperature and even more the maximum summer temperatures and the diurnal and annual variations. These effects are most obvious in arid zones, followed by temperate, tropical and boreal zones.

MIT's Mapdwell Maps Solar Potential for Entire Cities, Provides Cost-Benefit Analysis for Rooftops

Nations worldwide are increasingly embracing solar power as an alternative electricity source for homes, buildings, and even the grid. Since 2008, installed solar capacity in the United States alone has grown 17-fold, from 1.2 to 20 gigawatts (GW), according to the U.S. Department of Energy.

Organic Farming Could Produce Sufficient Yields, Protect and Improve the Environment

Washington State University researchers have concluded that feeding a growing global population with sustainability goals in mind is possible. Their review of hundreds of published studies provides evidence that organic farming can produce sufficient yields, be profitable for farmers, protect and improve the environment and be safer for farm workers.

Research on Gray Treefrogs Could Lead to Clues Regarding Climate Change

The year 2015 has been labeled as the hottest year on record, based on reports from NASA and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). A researcher from the University of Missouri claims that the rising temperatures and climate unpredictability could impact the sounds produced by gray treefrogs.

Additional Grants Sanctioned to Study Impact of Deepwater Horizon Oil Spill on Marine Ecosystem

When it occurred on April 20, 2010, scientists and marine biologists knew almost immediately it was one of the worst environmental incidents in human history. Almost as soon as the Deepwater Horizon oil spill was capped, researchers set about studying the immediate and long-term effects it had on the Gulf of Mexico ecosystem.
