Global food security analysis – part 1
Curtis R Youngs from Iowa State University, provides an analysis of global food security, in this the first part of a four-part series
61% of Hawaiian coral exposed to warming conditions, survive
In an optimistic 22-month study of Hawaiian coral, researchers find they may adapt well to warmer and more acidic oceans resulting from climate change.
The Triassic World: An analogue of the 6th mass extinction?
The REEFCADE long-term research project, created and driven by Professor Rossana Martini, started in 2007 and has since been supported by the Swiss National Science Foundation (SNSF).
The value of nature
Recognising the complex, closely intertwined relationships between humans and nature can lead to better, more cost-effective decisions, outlines Susan Canney, Director of the Mali Elephant Project.
Organismal contributions to changing climate
Zachary Senwo, PhD Professor, explores how organismal contributions can be used in the search for climate change solutions
IPCC: Climate change policies are nothing without social justice
The new IPCC report describes the financial commitment of high carbon-emitting countries – but are climate change policies enough to support justice and stop the crisis?
The reality of carbon capture utilisation technology
Carbon capture technology is mostly marketed as a beneficial solution to the emission crisis, yet the technology in reality uses too much energy.
Biology: Helping nature fight back against mass extinction
Nigel Whittle FRSB – Head of Medical & Healthcare at Plextek, describes the importance of helping nature fight back against mass extinction
Scientists find new type of star covered with carbon and oxygen
A group of astronomers from the University of La Plata and Max Planck Institute for Astrophysics found a new type of star - covered in the by-product of helium burning.
Lowest-income populations face 40% more exposure to heat waves
Rising global temperatures are creating imminent heat waves, which are set to impact poorer populations more substantially than wealthier ones.
Researchers create six step guide to improve global water quality
The University of Waterloo have created six steps to improve water quality, address nitrogen pollution and examine nitrogen legacies.
Scientists find potential “habitable zone” near dead star
An international team has found what could be a planet with one billion years of "habitable zone" time left.
Subtropics of East Asia grow colder due to warmer Arctic winters
Arctic winters are getting steadily warmer due to climate change, resulting in temperature changes in the subtropics of East Asia
Only 15% of coastal areas are still intact, globally
Only 15% of coastal areas around the world remain intact, according to research findings that highlight the need for rehabilitation and conservation.
How structural geologists help forecast volcanic eruptions
Craig Magee, NERC Independent Research Fellow at the University of Leeds illustrates the important role of structural geology in improving volcano forecasting.
Paris Agreement targets are yet to protect coral reefs
The Paris Agreement limited global warming to 1.5°C above pre-industrial levels, which still has devastating impacts for coral reefs – remaining on track for coral degeneration.
40% of undiscovered tree species will be found in South America
According to new data, there are 73,274 different species of tree on Earth - with another 9,186 still to be discovered.
Forged in fire: The environmental health risks of wildfires
Here, Pamela J. Lein discusses the environmental health risks of wildfires.
Social distancing could protect trees from environmental disasters
Research suggests less crowded trees have higher chances of survival after fire, insect infestation and the ongoing march of climate change.
AI models of dinosaur fossils advance image segmentation process
Three embryonic skulls of dinosaurs, found in the Gobi Desert, have been segmented with an AI process through CT scanning technology – which better preserves dinosaur remains
