“Capturing CO2 from the surrounding air and directly converting it into useful products is exactly what we need to approach carbon neutrality in the chemicals sector.

The conversion of natural forests and grasslands to agriculture and livestock is the biggest cause of global biodiversity loss.

The North American southwest has been suffering through weather extremes in recent years ranging from searing heatwaves and scorching wildfires to monsoon rainfalls that cause flash floods and mudslides.

Scientists in Colombia show that well managed pasture can store more soil carbon while reducing nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions to offset the climate impact of livestock.

U of A laser experts join global network increasing access to technology that could revolutionize everything from space physics and nano-scale manufacturing to clean energy and cancer treatment.

The discovery of a 460 km river under the Antarctica ice sheet could be the missing link to climate models.  

Almost one fourth of Sweden’s last unprotected old-growth forest was logged between 2003 and 2019.

Weather and climate modelers understand pretty well how seasonal winds and ocean currents affect El Niño patterns in the eastern equatorial Pacific Ocean, impacting weather across the United States and sometimes worldwide.

For decades, oceanographers have been measuring the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC), a large system of ocean currents that greatly influence Earth’s climate.

The study, published in PNAS Nexus today, shows that chemical sprays alter the electric field around flowers for up to 25 minutes after exposure.
