Atmospheric Scientists Reveal Much of Houston’s Ozone Exceedance Due to Air Flows From the North
University of Houston atmospheric science researchers have found that while local emissions play a role in the rise of ozone levels in Houston, most of the pollutants can be carried in from other regions across the country, leading to excess ozone pollution.
Beaver Activity in the Arctic Increases Emission of Methane Greenhouse Gas
The climate-driven advance of beavers into the Arctic tundra is causing the release of more methane — a greenhouse gas — into the atmosphere.
Combination of Stressors Key to Testing Perovskite Solar Cells
Perovskite solar cells should be subjected to a combination of stress tests simultaneously to best predict how they will function outdoors, according to researchers at the U.S. Department of Energy’s National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL).
From Carbon Sink to Source: The Stark Changes in Arctic Lakes
For millennia, lakes in Greenland’s dry tundra have locked up huge loads of carbon in their sediment.
Artificial Intelligence Could Help Build Pollen Jigsaw of Present and Ancient Flora
An emerging system which combines rapid imaging with artificial intelligence could help scientists build a comprehensive picture of present and historic environmental change – by swiftly and accurately analysing pollen.
