The amount of poultry in European diets isn’t conducive to an optimal circular food system, which prioritizes crops that produce healthy foods while reducing or reusing waste streams, new Cornell research finds.

Wildfire and post-fire recovery could lead to more carbon being stored than released in the long term in savannahs and grasslands, according to a new study involving the University of East Anglia (UEA). 

The first comprehensive study of African cultural and natural heritage sites reveals the risks posed by rising sea levels and erosion.  

Synergy isn’t always a good thing — take climate change and invasive plants.

The Antarctic deployment is the first in what is hoped to be a series of extreme environment tests for the short-period (SP) sensor – a seismometer that records the high-frequency (high pitched) seismic waves generated by movement in the ice sheets.

In late January 2022, Lake Erie nearly froze over entirely, with ice cover growing well beyond the seasonal average to reach 94 percent. By February 3, the ice cover had dropped to about 62 percent before rising again to 90 percent by February 5.

Air temperatures on Earth have been rising since the Industrial Revolution. While natural variability plays some part, the preponderance of evidence indicates that human activities—particularly emissions of heat-trapping greenhouse gases—are mostly responsible for making our planet warmer.

A new study found that measuring the time it takes for a radar pulse to travel from a satellite to the sea surface and back again can reveal the thickness of river ice and dates when it is safe to travel on ice roads and bridges in arctic regions.

Understanding when and where trees die in vast tropical forests is a challenging first step toward understanding carbon dynamics and climate change.

Many North American migratory birds are shrinking in size as temperatures have warmed over the past 40 years.
