Rewilding the Arctic Could Stop Permafrost Thaw and Reduce Climate Change Risks
The wide-scale introduction of large herbivores to the Arctic tundra to restore the ‘mammoth steppe’ grassland ecosystem and mitigate global warming is economically viable, suggests a new paper from the University of Oxford.
Contradicting Prevalent View, UCI Oceanographers Predict Increase in Phytoplankton
A neural network-driven Earth system model has led University of California, Irvine oceanographers to a surprising conclusion: Phytoplankton populations in low-latitude waters will expand by the end of the 21st century.
The Research on How a Growing Global Population Should Be Provided With Food Has Been Lacking a Holistic Perspective
Meeting one of the great challenges of our time – providing a growing global population with food – requires research with a holistic perspective on food production, people’s eating habits, and the population increase.
Buildings Can Become a Global CO2 Sink If Made out of Wood Instead of Cement and Steel
A material revolution replacing cement and steel in urban construction by wood can have double benefits for climate stabilization, a new study shows.
