Suite of Models Shows Some Positive Effects of Climate-Smart Ag Practices
A study using multiple agronomic models to examine two long-term agricultural research stations in North America shows that so-called climate-smart agricultural practices – like no-till treatments, cover-crop utilization and residue retention – can help promote carbon sequestration in soil and reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
AI Reveals Hidden Earthquake Swarms in Italy’s Campi Flegrei
A new AI model detects thousands of previously unseen quakes in near real time, helping scientists understand changes in an Italian volcanic area where seismic activity has been intensifying since 2018.
Why the East Antarctic Interior is Warming Faster and Earlier Than its Coastal Areas
First long-term study on the East Antarctic interior ice sheet region reveals the Indian Ocean mechanism driving this change.
Ocean Warming Puts Vital Marine Microbe at Risk
Among the tiniest living things in the ocean are a group of single celled microbes called Prochlorococcus.
Seagrass as a Carbon Sponge?
Seagrass has the potential to be one of the world’s most effective sponges at soaking up and storing carbon, but we don’t yet know how nutrient pollution affects its ability to sequester carbon.
