Climate Models Underestimate CO2 Emissions from Permafrost by 14 Percent, Study Finds

Climate change models have underestimated the amount of carbon dioxide that will be emitted from thawing permafrost by as much as 14 percent, according to a new study published in the journal Geophysical Research Letters.

Honeybee Lives Shortened After Exposure To Two Widely Used Pesticides

The lives of honeybees are shortened – with evidence of physiological stress – when they are exposed to the suggested application rates of two commercially available and widely used pesticides, according to new Oregon State University research.

Over a Dozen New Papers Describe Discoveries at MBARI’s Long-Term Deep-Sea Research Site Off California

For 30 years, MBARI ecologist Ken Smith and his colleagues have studied deep-sea communities at a research site called Station M, located 4,000 meters (2.5 miles) below the ocean’s surface and 290 kilometers (180 miles) off the coast of Central California.

Study In Philadelphia Links Growth In Tree Canopy To Decrease In Human Mortality

The first city-wide health impact assessment of the estimated effects of a tree canopy initiative on premature mortality in Philadelphia suggests that increased tree canopy could prevent between 271 and 400 premature deaths per year.

Physicists Document Method to Improve Magnetoelectric Response

Bismuth ferrite, or BFO, has long been of interest to scientists because its functional properties can be controlled by applying external stimuli; its magnetic response can be controlled via electric field, and its electrical response can be controlled via magnetic field, hence the name magnetoelectric.

Coal-Burning in Siberia Led to Climate Change 250 Million Years Ago

A team of researchers led by Arizona State University School of Earth and Space Exploration Professor Lindy Elkins-Tanton has provided the first ever direct evidence that extensive coal burning in Siberia is a cause of the Permo-Triassic Extinction, the Earth’s most severe extinction event.
