Researchers have long known that heavy metals and persistent organic pollutants such as DDT concentrate in the Arctic, in top predator animals like polar bears.

Microbial methane leaking from non-producing oil and gas wells is being emitted at rates about 1,000 times higher than previously estimated, according to a new study led by McGill University researchers.

A new study pieces together existing data sources in order to develop a detailed, dynamic picture of auto emissions.

Co-founded by Dan Sobek ’88, SM ’92, PhD ’97, 1s1 Energy has developed electrochemical cell materials for hydrogen electrolyzers that it says reduces energy use by 30 percent.

A new study analyzing more than 2,300 seawater samples from around the world has found that human-made chemicals — from plastic additives and industrial lubricants to pharmaceuticals and pesticides — are widespread in the marine environment, particularly in coastal and estuarine waters.

A dedicated team at the University of Waterloo has implemented award-winning greener lab practices that prove a top-class education doesn’t have to come at the planet’s expense.

A new study from the University of British Columbia has found that artificial turf fields across Metro Vancouver leach 6PPD-quinone, a chemical known to kill coho salmon, into municipal stormwater systems—and the contamination persists long after the fields are installed.

MIT researchers uncovered the roles of bacterial species from the environment as they consume biodegradable plastic.

Volcanoes and wildfires can inject millions of tons of gases and aerosol particles into the air, affecting temperatures on a global scale.

Canada’s drinking water can remain at risk long after wildfires burn out, according to a UBC-led global review that found water-quality impacts often emerge months or years later—not just immediately after a fire.
