Researchers have Discovered Behavioral Adaptations that could Aid Antarctic Fish in Adapting to the Warming Southern Ocean
Antarctica appears inhospitable at first glance. The continent is blanketed by a mile-thick ice sheet, which is known for howling gales and extremely severe temperatures.…
A Holistic Framework can be Used to Evaluate the Strengths and Weaknesses of Fisheries
An international team of fisheries experts has developed a new decision-making framework that can help fisheries improve their ability to adapt to a warmer world.…
Severe Mass Extinction was Caused by Volcanic Fertilization of the Oceans
Two powerful phases of volcanism sparked a period of global cooling and dropping oxygen levels in the oceans, resulting in one of the most devastating…
Scientists have Discovered that Climate-Related Tree Mortality and Fuel Aridity Increase the Availability of Wildfire Fuel
Climate-driven tree mortality and fuel aridity, according to new research from the University of New Mexico, are boosting fuel availability in forests, resulting in record-breaking…
Increases in Extreme Humid-Heat have a Disproportionately Negative Impact on Densely Populated Areas
Heat is the most harmful type of extreme weather, and it’s even more dangerous when combined with excessive humidity. The effects of not being able…
One of the World’s Most Powerful Currents is Becoming Faster as a Result of Climate Change
The only ocean stream that circumnavigates the globe, the Antarctic Circumpolar Current (ACC), is speeding up. Using a decades-long set of observational records, scientists are…
Arctic Warming Caused by Black Carbon Aerosols: A Major Contribution from Mid-Latitude Biomass Burning
The yearly average temperature in the Arctic has risen about twice as rapidly as it has everywhere in the world during the last few decades.…
Scientists Have Revealed that Extensive Chains of Volcanoes Acted as a Long-Term Climate Safety Valve
Over geological time, scientists at the University of Southampton revealed that huge chains of volcanoes were responsible for both producing and absorbing atmospheric carbon dioxide…
Different Types of Marine Phytoplankton React to Rising Ocean Temperatures in Different Ways
