Oct. 13, 2020 There are many threats to Australia's Great Barrier Reef - cyclones, shipping, crown-of-thorns starfish - but QUT researchers say climate change is its worst enemy. Yet a survey they conducted ...
Oct. 9, 2020 Fluctuations in the weather can have a significant impact on melting Antarctic ice, and models that do not include this factor can underestimate the global impact of sea level rise, according to ...
Oct. 9, 2020 Scientists showed increased temperature and acidification of our oceans over the next century could have a range of effects on an economically important marine ...
Oct. 7, 2020 Researchers have found varying projections on global warming trends put forth by climate change scientists can be explained by differing models' predictions regarding ice loss and atmospheric ...
Oct. 7, 2020 Ringed seals and other Arctic marine mammals are important in the diet of Arctic Indigenous peoples. A study spanning 45 years of testing indicates that mercury concentrations in ringed seals from ...
Oct. 7, 2020 Projections of potentially dramatic sea-level rise from ice-sheet melting in Antarctica have been wide-ranging, but a Rutgers-led team has created a model that enables improved projections and could ...
Oct. 2, 2020 The Earth's nature reserves are set to be affected by future climate change in very different ways. Detailed local knowledge of climate change impacts can therefore make a significant ...
Oct. 2, 2020 Global warming is driving an unprecedented rise in sea temperatures including in the Mediterranean, according to a major new ...
Oct. 2, 2020 Researchers analyzed these geographic regions, which include cities like New Orleans, Bangkok, and Shanghai, using a new global dataset to determine how many people live on river deltas, how many are ...
Oct. 1, 2020 Repeating a study conducted in 1914, scientists have shown that species may be able to evolve and adapt to rapid climate ...
Sep. 29, 2020 A 10-year effort by China to improve air quality and reduce pollution-related health risks has caused warming in areas across the northern hemisphere, according to new ...
Sep. 29, 2020 Climate warming will alter marine community compositions as species are expected to shift poleward, significantly impacting the Arctic marine ...
Sep. 28, 2020 Clean air, clean water and a functioning ecosystem are considered priceless. Yet accounting for the economic value of nature has large implications for climate policy, a new study ...
Sep. 28, 2020 As the globe warms, the atmosphere is becoming more unstable, but the oceans are becoming more stable, according to an international team of climate scientists, who say that the increase in stability ...
Sep. 25, 2020 Heatwaves in the world's oceans have become over 20 times more frequent due to human influence. This is what researchers are now able to demonstrate. Marine heatwaves destroy ecosystems and ...
Sep. 17, 2020 Over 99% of terrestrial ice is bound up in the ice sheets covering Antarctic and Greenland. Even partial melting of this ice due to climate change will significantly contribute to sea level rise. But ...
Sep. 17, 2020 In a simulation study, researchers showed that limiting global warming to 1.5°C rather than 2°C will mitigate aridification in some regions of the world including the Mediterranean, western Europe, ...
Sep. 17, 2020 An international consortium of researchers under the aegis of CMIP6 has calculated new estimates for the melting of Earth's ice sheets due to greenhouse gas emissions and its impact on sea ...
Sep. 17, 2020 The world's largest lizard, the Komodo dragon, could be driven to extinction by climate change unless significant measures to intervene are taken ...
