Cobalt Supply Can Meet Demand for Electric Vehicle and Electronics Batteries
Greater use of electric vehicles might be good for the environment, but further growth hinges on continued availability of critical battery components such as cobalt.
Focus on Food Would Help Solve Climate Change, Says Study
A paper released today by the journal Nature Food presents a new global food system approach to climate-change research that brings together agricultural production, supply chains and consumption.
NRL Researchers Monitor Changing Arctic Using Sound
U.S. Naval Research Laboratory scientists developed Ice-tethered Acoustic Buoys to monitor the acoustic and oceanographic environment in the changing Arctic. The buoys provide critical oceanographic data to improve prediction capabilities of ocean and climate models.
Methane Emitted via Human Fossil Fuel Use ‘Vastly Underestimated’
By measuring the carbon-14 isotope in air from more than 200 years ago, the researchers found that scientists have been vastly overestimating the amount of fossil methane emitted by natural sources, and have therefore been underestimating the amount of methane humans are emitting into the atmosphere via fossil fuels.
Jet Stream Not Getting ‘Wavier’ Despite Arctic Warming
Rapid Arctic warming has not led to a “wavier” jet stream around the mid-latitudes in recent decades, pioneering new research has shown.
