New Study Finds Large Fluctuations in Sea Level Occurred Throughout the Last Ice Age, a Significant Shift in Understanding of Past Climate
Large changes in global sea level, fueled by fluctuations in ice sheet growth and decay, occurred throughout the last ice age, rather than just toward the end of that period, a study publishing this week in the journal Science has found.
Decoding Dangers of Arctic Sea Ice With Seismic, Radar Method
Sea ice coverage in the Arctic Ocean is at one of its lowest levels on record, yet there’s no unanimity on when that ice will disappear completely during summer months.
How Green Infrastructure is Revamping City Storm Sewers
Installing green infrastructure in residential areas can prevent stormwater from flooding sewer systems and significantly curb heavy metal pollution, suggests a new study.
Research Shows How Dust Bowl-Type Drought Causes Unprecedented Productivity Loss
A global research effort led by Colorado State University shows that extreme, prolonged drought conditions in grasslands and shrublands would greatly limit the long-term health of crucial ecosystems that cover nearly half the planet.
McGill Research Flags Montreal Snow Dump, Inactive Landfills as Major Methane Polluters
Montreal’s methane emissions are unevenly distributed across the island, with the highest concentrations in the city’s east end, McGill researchers have found. The worst polluters include the city’s largest snow dump, which emits methane at levels comparable to the city's current and former landfills, and natural gas leaks.
