Medicine & TechnologyDiscovering a new way in which fishes and whales help the environment, researchers from the University of Agder in Norway found that fishes and whales help absorb greenhouse gas emissions.
The space station offers a lot of opportunities to get smaller things into space. Astronauts unload and prep the CubeSats on station and then deploy them out of its airlock 250 miles above the planet.
A thick, viscous, mucus-like substance colloquially known as sea snot is floating on the water surface of Turkey's Sea of Marmara. Unlike most cases, scientists claim that this could pose harm to organisms below the sea.
NASA will launch at least five satellites worth at least $300 million in Earth System Observatory by 2029 to help people better understand climate change and extreme weather .
Researchers found that climate change impacts have been felt in the Amazon rainforest long before the arrival of Europeans arrived in America, which means that the population of indigenous people may have declined before the "Great Dying."
Researchers determined that roughly 42 tonnes of mercury are being exported to Greenland rivers, fjords, and waterways due to glacial movement and melting.
Tree farts do not make a sound but they add a smidge of a greenhouse gas to the atmosphere. Experts estimated that it will likely worsen as climate change continues and sea level rises.
Research now shows that human-induced climate change played a significant role in boosting the damages and intensity of 2012's Hurricane Sandy by no less than $8 billion.
A study shows that greenhouse gas emissions have forced the troposphere to expand thereby shrinking and contracting the Earth's stratosphere by 4% since the 1980s.
Researchers from the McGill University used genome sequencing to understand natural selection in real-time. Discovering that some fish like the threespine stickleback is resilient and rapidly adapts to environmental stressors can help scientists predict which animals will adapt to climate change.
Recent studies suggest that the rise of sea level due to ice lands collapsing will double by 2100 if the Paris Climate Agreement won't be put to action. But a steady or lesser temperature of 2 degrees Celsius may prevent the melting of the Antarctica peninsula.
The International Union for Conservation of Nature o IUCN recently said that more than 37,400 animal species are at risk of disappearing or becoming extinct. This also puts human survival under threat.
Researchers developed a promising approach called probiotic bacteria to resist coral bleaching. This comes after images of bare, naked white coral reefs have been progressively spreading all over the world.
A relatively small but growing body of research suggests that pastured livestock, such as cows, could have a carbon-negative effect on the environment by sequestering greenhouse gases under well-managed grasslands.
