Proven: Historical Climate Changes Occurred Simultaneously in Several Parts of the World
A kind of domino effect — a convergence of rising temperatures and changing precipitation rates occurred across the planet during the last ice age, stretching from 120,000–11,700 years ago.
Constant Dieters Might Be Choosing the Wrong Way to Lose Weight
Dieters looking for a healthier substitute of their favorite high-fat food—such as a bag of potato chips—typically have two choices in the grocery aisle: a smaller package of the exact same food or a larger portion of a “light” version.
How Cold Was the Ice Age? Researchers Now Know
A University of Arizona-led team has nailed down the temperature of the last ice age – the Last Glacial Maximum of 20,000 years ago – to about 46 degrees Fahrenheit.
New Nitrogen Assembly Carbon Catalyst Has Potential to Transform Chemical Manufacturing
Scientists at the U.S. Department of Energy’s Ames Laboratory have discovered a metal-free carbon-based catalyst that has the potential to be much less expensive and more efficient for many industrial concerns, including manufacturing of bio- and fossil fuels, electrocatalysis, and fuel cells.
CSU Atmospheric Scientists Study Fires to Resolve Ice Question in Climate Models
When fossil fuel or biomass burns, soot – also known as black carbon – fills the air.
