New Beescape Updates Include County-Level Plant Recommendations for Pollinators
Penn State’s Beescape tool is gaining a new feature that allows users to download county-specific lists of pollinator-attractive plants, offering a more localized approach to improving pollinator habitats across Pennsylvania.
Short Exposures to Common Air Pollutants Shown to Have Distinct Impacts on Lung Function and Brain Activity
New research by a collaboration of UK‑based scientists has revealed that common indoor and outdoor air pollutants can alter both brain and respiratory function within just four hours of exposure, offering key insights into how air pollution impacts brain health and may contribute to dementia risk.
Rwenzori Mountains’ First Major Fire in 12,000 Years Marked New Era for Climate
For the past several years, Penn State geoscientist Sarah Ivory and her students have been among a team of scientists scaling the East African Rwenzori Mountains, collecting sediment core samples from lakes formed at the end of the last ice age as glaciers began receding in the region some 12,000 years ago.
Satellite Launch Pollution Rapidly Accumulating in the Upper Atmosphere
The potent pollution from so-called “megaconstellation” satellite systems launched en masse into space since 2019 will account for nearly half (42%) of the total climate impact of space sector pollution by the end of the decade, finds a new study led by UCL researchers.
A New Study Explains How Carbon Dioxide Cools the Upper Atmosphere—and Warms Earth Below
Even as temperatures rise on Earth’s surface and in the lower atmosphere, the planet’s upper atmosphere has cooled dramatically.
