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
Phytoplankton, a type of tiny marine plant, forms the foundation of most ocean food webs, and their production fuels commercial fishing, carbon sequestration, and healthy…
According to Marine Ecologists, Remoteness does not Improve Coral Reef Resilience
There’s a widely held belief that coral reef resilience is linked to their distance from human activity. Corals are more likely to bounce back from…
Scientists are part of a Team that has Discovered a Strong Link Between Climate Change and Plastic Pollution
When a large hurricane churns up storm surges and heavy, soaking rains, according to University of Rhode Island professors Andrew Davies and Coleen Suckling, the…
The Most Likely Location of Martian Meteorites has been Identified
Meteorites can be found all over the world, but they are most common in hot or cold deserts, where the lack of vegetation and other…
The Southern Ocean’s Contribution to the Global Carbon Cycle Is More Significant Than Expected
Because the biological carbon pump is not “switched off” in winter, the Southern Ocean’s role in driving the global carbon cycle may be larger than…
Our World is affected by Carbon Dissolved in Arctic Rivers – here’s how to Research it
Michael Rawlins, a professor in the University of Massachusetts Amherst’s geosciences department and associate director of the Climate System Research Center, has made significant progress…
As Climate Change Delivers Extended Dry Spells, Tropical Crops may Suffer
Climate change may cause longer, hotter, and drier spells in regions throughout the world, threatening vital global crops over the next 50 years. Climate change,…
Increased Reforestation may be able to save Coral Reefs from Catastrophe
According to a study performed by the University of Queensland, increasing reforestation efforts in coastal areas might significantly reduce the amount of sediment run-off reaching…
Artificial Intelligence (AI) is being Developed by Researchers to Evaluate Climate Change Tipping Points
Artificial intelligence (AI) is being developed by researchers to evaluate climate change tipping points. The deep learning program might serve as an early warning system for…
Ocean Acidification (Causes, Effects)
Ocean acidification is primarily the result of enormous amounts of CO2 being released into the atmosphere by automobiles, industrial, and agricultural operations. Chemical processes occur…
