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.
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
