Soybean crops can take advantage of climate change to increase productivity
As the climate continues to warm, atmospheric drying—the reduction of the amount of water the air can hold—is becoming a major concern for crop producers around the world. Atmospheric drying is typically associated with crop productivity declines.....»»
New viruses related to both giant viruses and herpesviruses
Metagenomic data from Tara Oceans on marine plankton has enabled the discovery of a major group of DNA viruses found abundantly from the equator to the poles: mirusviruses. These viruses play a role in regulating plankton by infecting a considerable.....»»
An ominous heating event is unfolding in the oceans
Average sea surface temperatures have soared to record highs—and stayed there. To call what’s happening in the oceans right now an anomaly is a bit of an understatement. Since March, average sea surface temperatures have been cli.....»»
An Ominous Heating Event Is Unfolding in the Oceans

A team of oceanographers at the Scripps Institution of Oceanography, working with a colleague from Chungnam National University and another from the University of Hawaii, has mapped 19,000 previously unknown undersea volcanoes in the world's oceans u.....»»
Quantifying climate conditions for the formation of coals and evaporites
Coals were originally formed from plants that require plenty of water or precipitation. Thus, regions with coal were wet and warm. In contrast, evaporites were formed in arid and hot regions where evaporation is strong. Therefore, coals and evaporite.....»»

Arctic"s peak ice cover has shrunk by an area larger than Egypt
Sea ice covered 5.64 million square miles of the Arctic Ocean at the ice's peak extent this year in early March. That's almost 400,000 square miles less than the median coverage level at other March peaks between 1981 and 2010, according to the Natio.....»»
