Cable Bacteria Can Drastically Reduce Greenhouse Gas Emissions From Rice Cultivation
A Danish-German research collaboration may have found a solution to the large climate impact from the world's rice production: By adding electric conductive cable bacteria to soil with rice plants, they could reduce methane emissions by more than 90%.
Scientists Trial World-First ‘Cloud Brightening’ Technique to Protect Corals
As the world grapples with COVID-19, the Great Barrier Reef is facing a crisis of its own – its third mass bleaching in five years.
Relying on “Local Food” is a Distant Dream for Most of the World
A recent study from Aalto University shows that less than one-third of the world's population could currently meet their demand for food produced in their local vicinity.
Southern Cross University Joins World-Leading RRAP Program to Boost Reef Resilience
Southern Cross University has joined the world-leading Reef Restoration and Adaptation (RRAP) Program to help preserve and restore the Great Barrier Reef in the face of rising ocean temperatures and coral bleaching.
Stanford Researchers Find Methane Leaks From U.S. Water Heaters Are High, but Fixable
Emissions of methane, a potent greenhouse gas, from water heaters are higher than previously estimated, especially for a new type of heater growing in popularity, a new Stanford study finds. But simple fixes exist.
