Peatlands cover upwards of 12 per cent of Canada’s landscape and store more carbon than all other ecosystems in the country combined, making them one of Canada’s most powerful natural climate allies.

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.

Glaciers in High Mountain Asia — a region encompassing the Tibetan Plateau and its surrounding mountain ranges — are shrinking rapidly, endangering water resources for millions of people, suggests a new study.

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.

Data centers consume millions of homes’ worth of electricity each year, with much of that electricity simply powering the cooling systems that keep the facilities operational. 

A recent study shows that heat causes a sharp hormonal spike in isolated honey bees, but social interactions and a key pheromone help prevent this stress response, revealing how bees stay resilient in a warming world.

Researchers have found there is a bacterial protein “key” that allows the Hawaiian bobtail squid to develop a healthy body and its bioluminescent “glow.”

Scientists have resurrected an old device to sniff out the exact scents that attract or repel insects, which could then be developed by companies for growers to purchase and use to trap or ward off such crop-damaging pests.

Climate change may reduce yields of crops like corn and soybeans, but it can also give some plants an edge.
