Researchers evaluate impact of warming on soil respiration in different ecosystems
Soil respiration is the result of heterotrophic respiration (Rh) and autotrophic respiration (Ra), accounting for about 50%–75% of the total ecosystem respiration on land, which is crucial for the global carbon cycle and plays an indispensable role.....»»
The energy transition requires a lot of minerals and metals—which could impact our lakes
Bringing about the energy transition is essential, but it will require developing a significant amount of minerals and "green" electricity, such as hydroelectricity. These activities often take place on Indigenous lands and will have environmental co.....»»

From stars to oceans: The impact of penetrative turbulence on climate science
Turbulence is an area of fluid dynamics that has been known about and researched for over a century. Most of us are broadly aware of it as a concept from our travels in the air, wherein it can at best be an inconvenience but at worst a frightening an.....»»
Pregnant fish can also get "baby brain," but not the way that mammals do
New research reveals that pregnancy-related brain impairment is present in live-bearing fish, but instead of affecting learning and memory as expected from similar research on mammals, it appears to have a stronger impact on decision-making and senso.....»»
NASA mission flies over Arctic to study sea ice melt causes
It's not just rising air and water temperatures influencing the decades-long decline of Arctic sea ice. Clouds, aerosols, even the bumps and dips on the ice itself can play a role. To explore how these factors interact and impact sea ice melting, NAS.....»»
