Climate Change Will See Australia’s Soil Emit CO2 and Add to Global Warming
New Curtin University research has shown the warming climate will turn Australia’s soil into a net emitter of carbon dioxide (CO2), unless action is taken.
Arctic Sea Ice Continues to Decline
Sea ice at the top of the planet continued to shrink and thin in 2024.
New Maps Show Where Tree Restoration Might Help Curb Climate Change
As efforts to restore tree cover accelerate to help avoid runaway climate change, a study by Clark University researchers highlights how restoring tree cover can, in some locations, heat up the Earth rather than cool it by affecting how much sunlight the surface reflects (called “the albedo”).
Crypto, Green Hydrogen Form ‘Dynamic Duo’ to Thwart Climate Change
Pairing cryptocurrency mining – notable for its outsized consumption of carbon-based fuel – with green hydrogen could provide the foundation for wider deployment of renewable energy, such as solar and wind power, according to a new Cornell Engineering study.
Mathematical Innovations Enable Advances in Seismic Activity Detection
Amidst the unique landscape of geothermal development in the Tohoku region, subtle seismic activities beneath the Earth's surface present a fascinating challenge for researchers.
