Past Rapid Warming Levels in the Arctic Associated With Widespread Climate Changes
Abrupt climate changes during the Last Glacial Period, some 115,000 to 11,700 years ago, happened at the same time across a region extending from the Arctic to the Southern Hemisphere subtropics, new research has revealed.
Coronavirus SARS-CoV-2 Spreads More Indoors at Low Humidity
The airborne transmission of the coronavirus SARS-CoV-2 via aerosol particles in indoor environment seems to be strongly influenced by relative humidity.
Plants Take in Less Carbon in a Warming World
As world temperatures rise, the rate at which plants in certain regions can absorb carbon dioxide is declining, according to University of Queensland research.
Contact Tracing Apps Unlikely to Contain COVID-19 Spread
Contract tracing apps used to reduce the spread of COVID-19 are unlikely to be effective without proper uptake and support from concurrent control measures, finds a new study by UCL researchers.
Fossil Leaves Show High Atmospheric Carbon Spurred Ancient 'Global Greening'
Scientists studying leaves from a 23-million-year-old forest have for the first time linked high levels of atmospheric carbon dioxide with increased plant growth, and the hot climate of the time.
