Comprehensive study on the seventh biggest country of the world, India, shows how ambient air pollution is majorly affecting health outcomes According to WHO, ambient air pollution is responsible for almost 7 million annual deaths worldwide due to exposure to...
Underwater robots in the form of gliders will navigate through the North Sea taking measurements, such as salinity and temperature under a collaboration between National Oceanography Centre (NOC) and the Met Office for improvement in collection and distribution of...
A recent study on plastic pollution beyond the micron level has unambiguously detected and identified nanoplastics in real-life samples of bottled water. It was found that the exposure to the micro-nano plastics from regular bottled water is in the...
Researchers have identified and engineered an enzyme which can digest and consume some of our most commonly polluting plastics providing a hope for recycling and fighting pollution Polluting plastics is the biggest environmental challenge worldwide in the form of plastic...
Hidden, oceanic internal waves have been found to play a role in deep-sea biodiversity. In contrast to the surface waves, the internal waves are formed as a result of thermal contraction in layers of the water column and help...
Sea level along USA coastlines will rise about 25 to 30 cm on average above current levels over the next 30 years. Consequently, tide and storm surge heights will increase and reach further inland worsening coastal flooding pattern. The additional...
The United Nations Climate Change Conference (COP28) has concluded with an agreement named The UAE Consensus, that sets out an ambitious climate agenda to keep 1.5°C within reach. This calls on Parties to transition away from fossil fuels to reach...
Forest restoration and tree plantation is a well-established strategy for mitigation of climate change.  However, use of this approach in arctic worsens warming and  is counterproductive to climate change mitigation. This is because tree coverage reduces albedo (or reflection...
Plastic pollution poses a major threat to ecosystems worldwide especially marine environment as most of the plastics used and discarded reach finally in rivers and oceans. This is responsible for the imbalance of marine ecosystems causing harm to oceanic...
The three companies SecurEnergy GmbH from Berlin, Photon Energy Solar GmbH, and IWE group from Denmark have combined their common skills and expertise to become Securenergy solutions AG. The three companies SecurEnergy GmbH from Berlin, Photon Energy Solar GmbH, and...
A new study examined interactions between biomolecules and clay minerals in the soil and shed light on factors that influence trapping of plant-based carbon in the soil. It was found that charge on biomolecules and clay minerals, structure of...
UK Space Agency will support two new projects. The first envisages using satellite to monitor and map heat in locations at greatest risk from climate change. Development of a prototype Climate Risk Index tool (CRISP) is the second project...
Evolution and extinction of new species have gone hand in hand since life began on Earth. However, there have been at least five episodes of large-scale extinctions of life-forms in the past 500 million years. In these episodes, more...
