Researchers discover a cause of rapid ice melting in Greenland
While conducting a study of Petermann Glacier in northwest Greenland, researchers at the University of California, Irvine and NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory uncovered a previously unseen way in which the ice and ocean interact. The glaciologists sa.....»»
Bizarre exoplanet breaks all the orbital rules
In our solar system, the planetary orbits all have a similar orientation. Their orbital planes vary by a few degrees, but roughly the planets all orbit in the same direction. This invariable plane as it's known also has an orientation within a few de.....»»
How do animals and plants survive and thrive in cities?
Urban ecology is a growing research field. To find orientation in the information jungle on this topic, a team led by IGB and Freie Universität Berlin (FU Berlin) has created a map of 62 important research hypotheses in urban ecology. Among them are.....»»
Evaluating climate reasoning, prior beliefs and partisanship
A popular explanation for climate denialism is that humans will adopt beliefs that accord with their political orientation, using their cognitive abilities to explain away identity-inconsistent information in a process called "motivated reasoning.".....»»
