Climate Change is Reducing the Number of Fish
According to a new study from the University of Tokyo, fish weight in the western North Pacific Ocean fell in the 2010s as temperatures rose,…
Reforestation Schemes are insufficient to recoup the Carbon generated by Harvesting Wood
Forests play an important role in trapping and storing carbon from the Earth’s atmosphere, but some models overestimate their carbon removal capacity by nearly threefold,…
Cloud Clustering Leads to more Intense Rain
Understanding cloud patterns in our changing climate is critical for developing accurate predictions about the impact on society and wildlife. Scientists from the Institute of…
