Study Proposes New Ways to Estimate Climate Change Impacts on Agriculture
Most scientists agree climate change has a profound impact on U.S. agricultural production.
Rise and Fall of Water Blisters Offers Glimpse Beneath Greenland’s Thick Ice Sheet
Water “blisters” trapped beneath the thick interior of Greenland’s ice sheet could provide critical insight into the hydrological network coursing deep below Earth’s second largest body of ice — and how it might be destabilized by climate change, according to a new study.
Under the Northern Lights: Mesospheric Ozone Layer Depletion Explained
The same phenomenon that causes aurorae -- the magical curtains of green light often visible from the polar regions of the Earth -- causes mesospheric ozone layer depletion.
Volcanoes Acted as a Safety Valve for Earth’s Long-Term Climate
Scientists at the University of Southampton have discovered that extensive chains of volcanoes have been responsible for both emitting and then removing atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2) over geological time.
Survival Strategy of Starving Spruces Trees: The Critical Role of Reserves
During climate extremes, plants cannot produce sufficient energy-rich carbon compounds through photosynthesis and they become dependent on stored reserves.
