Frozen hydrate crystals packed into tiny nanopores on ocean floors may hold the answer

The development of wind energy is expanding worldwide in an effort to limit greenhouse gas emissions and slow climate change.

As the scientific community searches for worlds orbiting nearby stars that could potentially harbor life, new Southwest Research Institute-led research suggests that younger rocky exoplanets are more likely to support temperate, Earth-like climates.

The São Francisco River drainage basin in Brazil’s Northeast region contains a substantial portion of the savanna-like Cerrado biome as well as large areas of Caatinga semi-arid thorn forest and some smaller fragments of Atlantic Rainforest.

The emergence of a new disease among turtles in Hervey Bay waters is also concerning researchers and rescuers.

The new paper, published in Environmental Research Letters, highlighted how storing carbon in forests could tackle climate change.

CU Boulder study: trees outfitted with accelerometers could be the future of arborism, agriculture

Researchers from the IIASA Energy, Climate, and Environment Program found that agricultural efforts in downstream countries in Central Asia, traditionally hampered by a lack of water for irrigation during the summer growing season, would be significantly boosted with a “dual water and energy storage scheme”, which also paves the way for high shares of renewable energy generation in the region.
