Contradicting Prevalent View, UCI Oceanographers Predict Increase in Phytoplankton
A neural network-driven Earth system model has led University of California, Irvine oceanographers to a surprising conclusion: Phytoplankton populations in low-latitude waters will expand by the end of the 21st century.
The Research on How a Growing Global Population Should Be Provided With Food Has Been Lacking a Holistic Perspective
Meeting one of the great challenges of our time – providing a growing global population with food – requires research with a holistic perspective on food production, people’s eating habits, and the population increase.
Buildings Can Become a Global CO2 Sink If Made out of Wood Instead of Cement and Steel
A material revolution replacing cement and steel in urban construction by wood can have double benefits for climate stabilization, a new study shows.
Wave Gliders, Ocean Drifters and Drones to Help International Researchers Solve Key Climate Question
The project’s distributed sampling strategy is designed to help scientists better understand the transfer of heat, freshwater, and momentum between the atmosphere and the ocean.
Rewilding the Arctic Could Stop Permafrost Thaw and Reduce Climate Change Risks
The wide-scale introduction of large herbivores to the Arctic tundra to restore the ‘mammoth steppe’ grassland ecosystem and mitigate global warming is economically viable, suggests a new paper from the University of Oxford.
