Georgia Tech researchers have developed a mathematical formula to predict the size of lakes that form on melting ice sheets—discovering their depth and span are linked to the topography of the ice sheet itself.This post […]

An analysis of forest-based projects funded through the sale of carbon credits shows that 10% of them may have a net warming effect on the climate because of the way they alter Earth’s albedo, or […]

An international study led by the University of Portsmouth has revealed reluctance from industry scientists to test chemicals for their effects on human and wildlife behavior, despite growing evidence linking environmental pollutants to neurological disorders […]

Because the hustle and bustle of cities is driven largely by fossil fuels, urban areas have a critical role to play in addressing global greenhouse gas emissions. Currently, cities contribute around 75% of global carbon […]

Scientists are increasingly turning to AI to model future changes in the climate. However, existing approaches often face a trade-off between accuracy, speed, and computational cost.This post was originally published on this site

Earth’s climate has fluctuated between cold and warm periods for millions of years. During the so-called “lukewarm interglacials”—warm phases between 800,000 and 430,000 years ago—atmospheric CO2 concentrations were only around 240 to 260 ppm (parts […]

Coastal communities around the world have long faced challenges related to flood risks. But as sea levels continue to rise and extreme weather events become more frequent, the need for more effective response strategies is […]

The amount a town or city invests in sports-related infrastructure may impact how active the people who live there are, according to new University of Georgia research published in the European Sport Management Quarterly.This post […]
