Methane Bubbles Are Effect and Cause of Rise in Temperature
"Never before have such unequivocal, strong relationships between temperature and emissions of methane bubbles been shown on such a wide, continent-spanning scale.", says biologist Sarian Kosten of Radboud University.
Ribbed Mussels Could Help Improve Urban Water Quality
Ribbed mussels can remove nitrogen and other excess nutrients from an urban estuary and could help improve water quality in other urban and coastal locations, according to a study in New York City’s Bronx River. The findings, published in Environmental Science and Technology, are part of long-term efforts to improve water quality in the Bronx River Estuary.
The Genome of Leishmania Reveals How This Parasite Adapts to Environmental Changes
Leishmaniasis is an important human and veterinary disease caused by Leishmania parasites that affect 12 million people in over 98 endemic countries. The disease is now emerging in Europe due to climate change and massive population displacement. The parasite is known to rapidly adapt to novel environments with important consequences for disease outcome. It has therefore been recognized as an emerging public health threat for the EU.
El costo social del carbono se duplica
El "costo social del carbono", una figura influyente utilizada por los políticos para ponderar el valor de los esfuerzos que reducen las emisiones de gases de efecto invernadero, está desactualizado y subestimado. Las estimaciones actualizadas se centraron solo en el sector agrícola, más del doble del costo social del carbono, de acuerdo con el análisis de la Universidad de California, Davis y la Universidad de Purdue.
Reducing Phosphorus Runoff
Throughout the United States, toxic algal blooms are wreaking havoc on bodies of water, causing pollution and having harmful effects on people, fish and marine mammals.
