As CO2 concentrations in the atmosphere keep rising regardless of years of political intentions to limit emissions, the world’s oceans are drowning in plastics, which threatens marine environments and ecosystems.

Seagrass has the potential to be one of the world’s most effective sponges at soaking up and storing carbon, but we don’t yet know how nutrient pollution affects its ability to sequester carbon.

Two related and recently published studies by teams led by UCLA Fielding School of Public Health researchers aim to help people make safer choices during wildfires. 

New catalyst could make mixed plastic recycling a reality.

The composition of aquatic plant communities in shallow freshwater bodies, including floating plants, submerged plants and phytoplankton, can have important effects on greenhouse gas production, transport and emissions, according to a new study.

Drivers can now compare the greenhouse gas emissions of different vehicles based on size, usage, powertrain type and even location.

Picture this: You’re stuck in traffic on a summer afternoon, checking the weather app on your phone as dark storm clouds roll in.

A combination of policies could drive the transition to “clean steel” – cutting emissions from a hard-to-decarbonise industry, new research shows.

Many geoscientists get into the field through a love of the outdoors and a chance to escape the city. 

Wildfires release vast amounts of visible pollutants into the atmosphere that darken skies and push people indoors to avoid unhealthy air.
