Land Use Changes May Increase Disease Outbreak Risks
Global changes in land use are disrupting the balance of wild animal communities in our environment, and species that carry diseases known to infect humans appear to be benefiting, finds a new UCL-led study.
Impact Of Climate Change On Tropical Fisheries Would Create Ripples Across The World
Tropical oceans and fisheries are threatened by climate change, generating impacts that will affect the sustainable development of both local economies and communities, and regions outside the tropics through ‘telecoupling’ of human-natural systems, such as seafood trade and distant-water fishing, says a scientific review from UBC and international researchers.
Greenhouse Gas Emissions From International Shipping Increasing
National governments have a much greater responsibility for shipping emissions than previously estimated, finds new UCL-led research.
Anode Material for Safe Batteries with a Long Cycle Life
Researchers at Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) and Jilin University in Changchun/China investigated a highly promising anode material for future high-performance batteries – lithium lanthanum titanate with a perovskite crystal structure (LLTO).
Researchers: What’s In Oilfield Wastewater Matters For Injection-Induced Earthquakes
A team of geoscience researchers in the Virginia Tech College of Science has developed a new theory to explain how and why injection-induced earthquakes continue to occur even when injection rates decline.
