A Two-way Interaction: Ocean and Climate
The interaction between ocean and climate is changing and the exchange is intensifying. We’re seeing the consequences of this around the world.
Impact of Air Conditioning on Climate and Disease
Air conditioning recirculates indoor air, leaving users more exposed to airborne disease and increasing carbon dioxide levels due to poor ventilation.
Soil Carbon in a Warming World
Climate change’s effects can be reduced by soils storing carbon. But the soil carbon sink is itself vulnerable to climate change.
Microorganisms Boost Levels of Carbon Storage in Soil
Microorganisms increase the level of carbon storage in the soil, making them key players in mitigating the effects of climate change.
Bee Behavior Affected by Pesticides and Temperature
Climate change and pesticides spell double trouble for bee behavior, but pesticide risk to bees varies depending on the temperature.
Bioenergy Sorghum: The Green Crop of the Future
Bioenergy sorghum hybrids can restore carbon levels in soil, improve soil fertility, provide biomass for biofuel production, and combat climate change.
Emperor Penguins Now a Threatened Species
Emperor penguins officially a threatened species because of projections of population decline from climate change and ineffective conservation.
Can Coral Reefs Escape to the Deep?
Many of the harms done by climate change and overfishing are worst near the surface. Could coral reefs relocate deeper to escape them?
Exploring Antarctica with Photography
At a remote Antarctic outpost, cameras capture time-lapse images of the McMurdo Dry Valleys. Antarctica shows climate change.
