Three Gorges Dam: Friend or foe of riverine greenhouse gases?
Dams are conventionally regarded as emitters of GHGs in large rivers. A team from Peking University of China, however, has disrupted this perception, based on whole system thinking applied to the Three Gorges Dam (TGD) on the Yangtze River in China......»»
Indirect emissions the key to agricultural emissions reduction, research suggests
Focusing on the direct emissions from the Australian agricultural sector is not the most effective way in dealing with the industry's greenhouse gas emissions, research from Edith Cowan University (ECU) has found......»»
The Quantum Mechanics of the Greenhouse Effect
Carbon dioxide’s powerful heat-trapping effect has been traced to a quirk of its quantum structure. The finding may explain climate change better than any computer model......»»

Research shows reducing future global flooding hinges on cutting greenhouse gas emissions
Pioneering research forecasts that worldwide flooding is likely to be significantly worse in future decades if countries fail to meet official pledges to cut carbon emissions......»»
The overshoot myth: We can"t keep burning fossil fuels and expect scientists of the future to get us back to 1.5°C
Record breaking fossil fuel production, all-time high greenhouse gas emissions and extreme temperatures. Like the proverbial frog in the heating pan of water, we refuse to respond to the climate and ecological crisis with any sense of urgency. Under.....»»
NASA-designed greenhouse-gas-detection instrument launches
Tanager-1, the Carbon Mapper Coalition's first satellite, which carries a state-of-the-art, NASA-designed greenhouse-gas-tracking instrument, is in Earth orbit after lifting off aboard a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket from Space Launch Complex 4E at Vandenbe.....»»
Venting your frustrations can make friends like you better—if you do it right
Venting about your frustrations with one friend to another isn't necessarily cathartic, but it can make the friend you're talking to like and treat you better, UCLA psychologists say. Their experiments show that under certain conditions, it can be an.....»»
Planetary health diet adoption would reduce emissions by 17%, environmental scientists suggest
A report by a multi-institutional team of environmental scientists suggests that if everyone in the world adopted the EAT-Lancet planetary health diet, global dietary greenhouse gas emissions would drop by 17%......»»
Exploring the structures of xenon-containing crystallites
Noble gases have a reputation for being unreactive, inert elements, but more than 60 years ago Neil Bartlett demonstrated the first way to bond xenon. He created XePtF6, an orange-yellow solid. Because it's difficult to grow sufficiently large crysta.....»»
New interactive map provides local and regional climate opinions in India
India is the most populous country in the world and is among the top 10 greenhouse gas emitters, with most emissions stemming from energy production, manufacturing, and agriculture. Yet there has been little information about the diversity of climate.....»»
Dairy nutrition is leading the sustainability charge
Research into reducing greenhouse gas emissions from livestock has increased exponentially as the dairy and agriculture sectors work together toward shared sustainability and efficiency goals. While this progress has been made in all areas of dairy s.....»»
Changing food consumers" choices may help cut greenhouse gases
Planet-warming greenhouse gas emissions associated with the global food supply chains induced by diets could fall by 17% if people change their food choices towards more plant-based diets, a new study reveals......»»
A common parasite could deliver drugs to the brain—how scientists are turning Toxoplasma gondii from foe into friend
Parasites take an enormous toll on human and veterinary health. But researchers may have found a way for patients with brain disorders and a common brain parasite to become frenemies......»»
How Do You Get Drugs to the Brain? Maybe Try a Parasite
A common parasite could one day deliver drugs to the brain. Here's how scientists are turning Toxoplasma gondii from foe into friend......»»
Researchers find unexpectedly large methane source in overlooked landscape
When Katey Walter Anthony heard rumors of methane, a potent greenhouse gas, ballooning under the lawns of fellow Fairbanks residents, she nearly didn't believe it......»»
Detecting climate change using aerosols
Climate change is one of the most significant environmental challenges of present times, leading to extreme weather events, including droughts, forest fires, and floods. The primary driver of climate change is the release of greenhouse gases into the.....»»
