Amount of Carbon Stored in Forests Reduced as Climate Warms
The team, led by the University of Cambridge, found that as temperatures increase, trees grow faster, but they also tend to die younger.
HKU Earth Scientists Discovered Century-scale Deep-water Circulation Dynamics in the North Atlantic Ocean throughout the last 20,000 years
Dr Moriaki Yasuhara, Dr Hisayo Okahashi, and Dr Huai-Hsuan May Huang from School of Biological Sciences and Swire Institute of Marine Science of the University of Hong Kong (HKU), in collaboration with scientists in Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory of Columbia University, Duke University, and US Geological Survey have recently reported their discovery on a key driver of past and perhaps future abrupt climate change that is deep-water dynamics in the North Atlantic Ocean in the journal Geology.
New View Of How Ocean ‘Pumps’ Impact Climate Change
Earth’s oceans have a remarkable natural ability to pull carbon from the atmosphere and store it deep within the ocean waters, exerting an important control on the global climate.
Species Facing Climate Change Could Find Help in Odd Place: Urban Environments
When it comes to wildlife conservation efforts, urban environments could be far more helpful than we think, according to new research.
