Carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions are not typically associated with water ways, like streams and rivers, but emerging research shows that water bodies play an important role in storing and releasing carbon dioxide.

One in 50 people living in two dozen coastal cities in the United States could experience significant flooding by 2050, according to Virginia Tech-led research.

The cost of removing large quantities of CO2 from the air will fall in the medium term, but not as much as previously hoped. 

A team of researchers from the University of Massachusetts Amherst that specializes in accounting for the carbon dioxide release by streams, rivers and lakes recently demonstrated that the chemical process known as “carbonate buffering” can account for the majority of emissions in highly alkaline waters.

For the first time, researchers at the University of Minnesota Twin Cities (UMN) and the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign (UIUC) have demonstrated that it is possible to provide accurate, high-resolution predictions of carbon cycles in agroecosystems, which could help mitigate the impacts of climate change.

Abigail Lewis traveled all across the United States for college and graduate school, and she ended up researching lakes in her own hometown. 

Understanding cloud patterns in our changing climate is essential to making accurate predictions about their impact on society and nature. 

For the first time, researchers have investigated how ropes and fishing lines are handled by the Norwegian commercial fishing industry. 

For more than 50 years, the National Hurricane Center has used the Saffir-Simpson Windscale to communicate the risk of property damage; it labels a hurricane on a scale from Category 1 (wind speeds between 74 – 95 mph) to Category 5 (wind speeds of 158 mph or greater).

An economical process with green hydrogen can be used to extract CO2-free iron from the red mud generated in aluminium production.
