There May Be More Bird Species in the Tropics Than We Know
Study of a perky little bird suggests there may be far more avian species in the tropics than those identified so far.
High Impact Climate Events: Better Adaptation Through Earlier Prediction
The prediction of high impact climate phenomena can be substantially improved by a new mathematical approach that analyses the connectivity and patterns between geographical locations, scientists say in a new publication.
Different Kinds of Marine Phytoplankton Respond Differently to Warming Ocean Temperatures
Tiny marine plants called phytoplankton are the foundation of most food webs in the ocean, and their productivity drives commercial fisheries, carbon sequestration, and healthy marine ecosystems.
Climate Changed Abruptly at Tipping Points in Past
Abrupt changes in ice core samples and other records indicate dramatic changes in climate occurred at certain points in the past.
Finding the Missing Piece in Global Oil Life-Cycle Assessment
New research led by Mohammad Masnadi, assistant professor of chemical and petroleum engineering at the University of Pittsburgh Swanson School of Engineering, offers a closer look at the relationship between decreasing demand for oil and a resilient, varied oil market–and the carbon footprint associated with both.
