To shine light on and conserve rare shark, ray, and chimaera species (chondrichthyans), SFU researchers have developed a fully-resolved family tree and ranked every species according to the unique evolutionary history they account for.

Stanford Researcher: Interacting Antarctic Glaciers May Cause Faster Melt and Sea Level Contributions
A new study shows that a large and potentially unstable Antarctic glacier may be melting farther inland than previously thought and that this melting could affect the stability of another large glacier nearby – an important finding for understanding and projecting ice sheet contributions to sea-level rise.
Ingeniería climática: Una vez iniciada, tendría graves impactos si se detuviera
Enfrentando una crisis climática, algún día podemos rociar dióxido de azufre en la atmósfera superior para formar una nube que enfría la Tierra, pero suspender repentinamente esta fumigación tendría un impacto global severo en animales y plantas, según el primer estudio sobre los impactos biológicos potenciales. de geoingeniería o intervención climática.
Engineers Develop Flexible, Water-Repellent Graphene Circuits for Washable Electronics
New graphene printing technology can produce electronic circuits that are low-cost, flexible, highly conductive and water repellent.
Use of Dirty Heating Oil in NYC Concentrated Uptown
Residential buildings in New York City that burn residual fuel oil were concentrated in Northern Manhattan and the Bronx, as of late 2015. Compared to cleaner heating sources such as natural gas, these dirty fuels produce high levels of particulate matter, exposure to which is linked to asthma, obesity, developmental delays, and other health problems.
From the eruption of the Timanfaya volcano in the Canary Islands to the coniferous forests in the Pyrenees
The chemical traces from the released gases into the atmosphere by eruptions such the Timanfaya’s can be now identified in the oldest coniferous Pyrenean forests.
