Polar Bear Population Decline the Direct Result of Extended ‘Energy Deficit’ Due to Lack of Food
U of T Scarborough researchers have directly linked population decline in polar bears living in Western Hudson Bay to shrinking sea ice caused by climate change.
Turning Farmland Back to Peatland: Can It Slow CO2 Emissions?
Until recently, Henning Voigt’s 500-hectare farmland along the Peene River, near Germany’s northeastern Baltic Sea coast, was well-drained and used as a cattle pasture.
Ancient Antarctic Ice Loss Offers Insights into Future Climate Scenarios
Scientists from the University of Cambridge and British Antarctic Survey have used ice core records to draw new conclusions about how Antarctica was affected by increased global temperatures over 100,000 years ago.
Ocean-Surface Warming Four Times Faster Now Than Late-1980s
The rate of ocean warming has more than quadrupled over the past four decades, a new study has shown.
Climate Change Increases Risk of Successive Natural Hazards in the Himalayas
An international research team has concluded that the Sikkim flood disaster in the Himalayas in October 2023 was caused by some 14.7 million cubic meters of frozen moraine material collapsing into South Lhonak Lake, triggering a 20-meter flood wave.
