هل يمكن لغمر الأعشاب البحرية أن يبرّد المناخ؟.
يمكن للأعشاب البحرية المغمورة أن تخزّن الكربون في قاع المحيط، ولكن يظل من غير الواضح مدى فاعلية هذه الاستراتيجية، وكيف ستؤثر على صحة المحيط.
ارتفاع درجة حرارة المحيطات يمهد الطريق لحدوث موجات جفاف خطيرة، ولكن يمكن التنبؤ بها، في شرق أفريقيا
اكتشف العلماء رابطة بين التدرجات الحرارية في المحيط الهادئ وبين موجات الجفاف الفتاكة والتي يمكن التنبؤ بها في شرق أفريقيا.
Inland Waters Are a Blind Spot in Greenhouse Gas Emissions
Researchers call for an extensive monitoring network to quantify carbon dioxide and methane released by China’s rivers, lakes, reservoirs, and ponds.
The Escalating Impact of Global Warming on Atmospheric Rivers
Climate change is set to intensify atmospheric rivers and exacerbate extreme rainfall worldwide.
Comparing Carbon-Trapping Capacities of Anoxic Basins
Low-oxygen regions in the ocean could be prime spots for sequestering biomass—a potential strategy for fighting climate change. But each site has its pros and cons.
Can Submerging Seaweed Cool the Climate?
Submerged seaweed can store carbon at the bottom of the ocean, but how effective the strategy will be—and how it will affect ocean health—remains unclear.
Glaciers Rise and Fall—and Melt—with Tides
The effect of ocean water creeping beneath Greenland ice is stronger than scientists realized.
Ocean Warming Sets the Stage for Dangerous but Predictable East Africa Droughts
Scientists have uncovered a connection between temperature gradients in the Pacific Ocean and deadly but predictable consecutive dry spells in East Africa.
Diverse Forests Store More Carbon Than Monocultures
Adding even just one more tree species can increase forest productivity, a new meta-analysis shows.
