‘Seed bags’ to be planted to restore seagrass meadows in UK

England’s largest seagrass meadows planting project, led by Natural England, will begin planting in the Solent this week. It is part of the 4-year (LIFE Recreation ReMEDIES) project being led by Natural England (NE) to help protect and restore the...

Greenland ice sheet may halve in volume by year 3000

Scientists create numerous models to estimate the impact of global warming on the Greenland ice sheet up to the year 3000. As a result of global warming in the 21st century, the Greenland ice sheet may contribute several metres to...

Tracking the effects of salt pollution in freshwater streams

Scientists at the University of Maryland have conducted a five-stage system to track the unhealthy progression of salt pollution in freshwater streams. The salt used to grit the roads when it is icy could be damaging the water quality due...

Scientists develop novel model to predict tropical fish migration patterns

A research team from Hokkaido University has developed a model that can predict the tropical fish migration patterns of six different species, as sea temperatures rise. A new study forecasts how global climate change will impact the migration patterns of...

Protecting biodiversity in rainforests with global competition

BarcelonaTech (UPC) participates in the XPRIZE Rainforest international competition to help to protect the biodiversity in rainforests. BarcelonaTech (UCP), in collaboration with scientists from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in the US, the Instituto de Desenvolvimento Sustentável Mamirauá in Brazil,...

Endangered mountain gorillas impacted by climate crisis

A new study published in Frontiers in Conservation Science has revealed that endangered mountain gorillas’ drinking frequency has increased as temperatures rise. The endangered mountain gorilla is a subspecies of the eastern gorilla. There are only two populations, one in...

Catchment restoration can reduce human-driven climate change impacts

A new research study highlights that catchment restoration can reduce the impact of human-driven climate change in mountainous regions. New research, led by Dr Petra Holden from the African Climate and Development Initiative (ACDI) at the University of Cape Town...

Relocation of agricultural land could greatly reduce carbon emissions

Scientists design a map to display the potential relocation of agricultural land to maximise long-term environmental benefits without compromising food security. Scientists have constructed a map demonstrating where the world’s major food crops should be grown to maximise yield and...

Study proves that Antarctic fish have fundamental growth limitations

Scientists have conducted a study that highlights how Antarctic fish have a much lower growth rate than warmer water fish. Antarctic fish have adapted over millennia to survive in the freezing temperatures of the Southern Ocean. However, in doing so,...

Human actions accelerate climate-driven flooding and droughts

A study of more than 2,000 streams and rivers around North America has uncovered that those altered by human activity are at greater risk of flooding. A study conducted from the University of Waterloo analysed the seasonal flow patterns of...
