Natural Solar Trends May Not Be Influencing Climate Change, Newly Corrected Sunspot Numbers Suggest

The Maunder Minimum, between 1645 and 1715, when sunspots were scarce and the winters harsh, strongly suggests a link between solar activity and climate change. Until now there was a general consensus that solar activity has been trending upwards over the past 300 years (since the end of the Maunder Minimum), peaking in the late 20th century -- called the Modern Grand Maximum by some.

State-of-the-Art Technologies to Study Effects of Low-Lying Clouds on Global Climate

Nearly 40 years after taking his first aircraft measurements of clouds off the California coast, University of Miami Professor Bruce Albrecht has returned again this month equipped with new state-of-the-art technologies to understand the effects of low-lying clouds on global climate.

Lack of Baseline Data Challenge Evaluation of Environmental Impacts of 2010 Deepwater Horizon Blowout

In the spring of 2010, the Deepwater Horizon drilling platform exploded, initiating an uncontrolled deep-water oil and gas blowout from the Macondo wellhead. The uncontrolled hydrocarbon discharge continued for 85 days and the environmental impacts were substantial.

Researchers Create Seafloor Chemical Gardens to Power Light Bulb

One of the key necessities for life on our planet is electricity. That's not to say that life requires a plug and socket, but everything from shrubs to ants to people harnesses energy via the transfer of electrons -- the basis of electricity. Some experts think that the very first cell-like organisms on Earth channeled electricity from the seafloor using bubbling, chimney-shaped structures, also known as chemical gardens.

IDTechEx Research Report Assesses Global Picture of Energy Harvesting Technologies

Energy harvesting is the conversion of ambient energy into electricity where it is needed, using a device that is off-grid. The term is most typically applied to powering small electronic devices using sunshine to vibration or temperature. However, the same technologies are used in heavy engineering, such as large construction vehicles converting the rotational and vertical braking energy of their implements into electricity.

Adult Corals Exposed to Ocean Acidification May Help Offspring Adjust to Future Climate Change

A new study from scientists at the University of Hawai'i - Mânoa's (UHM) Hawai'i Institute of Marine Biology (HIMB) reveals that preconditioning adult corals to increased temperature and ocean acidification resulted in offspring that may be better able to handle those future environmental stressors. This rapid trans-generational acclimatization may be able to "buy time" for corals in the race against climate change.

Shoreline Hardening in the US Impacts Long-Term Management of Polar Environments

As we expand our coastal cities and armor the coast against the ravages of the sea, we lose the resiliency of the coastlines' natural defenses. Rachel Gittman and colleagues at the University of North Carolina, NOAA, and the US Coast Guard report in the August issue of ESA Frontiers that sea walls, bulkheads, breakwaters, and the like put in place to protect coastal communities harden 14 percent (22,842 km) of the tidal shoreline of the United States.
