Increased CO2 and reduced Ozone lead to stronger drought resistance

Researchers have discovered that the increasing temperatures, rising levels of Carbon Dioxide (CO2), and reduced Ozone (O3), has contributed towards a stronger drought resistance. Drought resistance The CO2 fertilisation effect takes place when elevated levels of CO2 in the atmosphere increase...

DOE invests $54m into to small businesses

The US Department of Energy recently announced plans to provide $54m dollars for small businesses, in support of the Biden-Harris Administration commitment.   Small businesses that are eligible   Small businesses are considered the backbone of communities and neighbourhoods, as they make...

Decreasing air pollution linked to significant drop in deaths

Researchers have investigated the link between decreasing vehicle emissions and deaths attributable to air pollution.  The study  Using recent national emissions data, researchers from Harvard Chan School’s Department of Environmental Health, modelled four scenarios for emissions in 2017. This consisted of...

The worrying impact of sea ice decline on polar bear movement patterns

Due to ever-increasing climate change impacts causing sea ice to melt, polar bears are being forced to travel longer and more hazardous distances to obtain food. In recent years, polar bears in the Beaufort Sea have had no choice but...

E-waste Plastics repurposed for stem cell research

Professor Dalton Tay of Nanyang Technological University (NTU) from the School of Materials Science and Engineering and School of Biological Sciences, led research investigating how to repurpose electronic waste (e-waste) as an alternative to the plastics used in laboratory...

Avalanches are occurring at higher altitudes due to climate change

Research highlights that due to continual climate change effects, avalanches are occurring at higher altitudes due to less snow fall further downslope. Avalanches pose a great threat for both people and infrastructures such as buildings, transport and communication networks. We...

Unpredictable ice clouds negate accuracy of climate models

Assistant Professor Kazutoshi Sato from Kitami Institute of Technology, and Associate Professor Jun Inoue from the National Institute of Polar Research, investigate the interference of ice clouds when constructing climate models.   Climate models are digital simulations of the Earth’s climate system....

The carbon benefits of wind power, silviculture and peatlands

Researchers highlight the necessity to collect and map the carbon benefits of wind power, silviculture and peatlands to analyse their environmental impact. While renewable energy is crucial to the newly adopted clean energy transition, wind power turbines cannot be constructed...

Measuring the European bioeconomy for the green energy transition

Why closing the data gaps in the European bioeconomy through good data collection is the key to a greener Europe. Key initiatives such as the European Union’s Green Deal are creating momentum to establish an EU-wide bioeconomy. However, it faces...
