In an era of increased urbanization, the value of green spaces in urban areas is becoming more apparent. A recent study has identified a wide range of benefits connected with green neighborhoods, including mental and physical health. The Barcelona Institute for Global Health (ISGlobal) undertook a large-scale study highlighting greenery’s value in [...]
In groundbreaking meteorological research, a worldwide team of researchers from the University of Miami Rosenstiel School of Marine, Atmospheric, and Earth Science, the European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts (ECMWF) in Reading, UK, and the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR) in Boulder, CO, made significant strides in understanding tropical atmospheric [...]
Plant cold specialists, such as spoonworts, have adjusted exceptionally well to the cold conditions of the Ice Ages. The changing cold and warm eras resulted in the emergence of diverse species and a large expansion of their genome. This study investigates how these plants have adjusted to their habitats, the [...]
Urban areas are especially vulnerable to the consequences of climate change, such as floods, heat waves, and storms. This presents critical considerations for city developers: which parts of the city suffer the most and in what ways can they respond effectively? The I4C project for Cities initiative, led by the [...]
Significant sections of the great fabric of fungal diversity remain unexplored, particularly among insects and fungi. These organisms, which include millions of species that have yet to be cataloged by science, constitute a new frontier for investigation and conservation in the face of accelerating global biodiversity loss. Academy Research Fellow [...]
PFAS, or ‘forever chemicals,’ are potentially cancer-causing compounds that have become a growing concern in household drinking water. Solutions to decrease exposure range from compulsory municipal-level water purification to under-the-sink private water treatment systems. But are consumers prepared to foot the money for a further purification system to help localities [...]
A recent study has revealed a hopeful development in the struggle against global warming and ozone layer degradation. According to the study, cutting agricultural nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions is conceivable without interfering with the ozone layer’s recovery. This discovery is essential because N2O, a highly potent greenhouse gas, is in the environment at [...]
A revolutionary study by the Institut de Ciències del Mar (ICM-CSIC) and the University of Cadiz has made it possible to detect marine trash from space. This study, published lately in the journal Nature Communications, shows how satellites can estimate the amount of litter, primarily plastic, on the sea surface a [...]
Effective water quality management can greatly reduce future water scarcity. Global water scarcity, caused by both quantity and quality changes, is a significant barrier to meeting the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). A multinational team of researchers has created a revolutionary modeling approach that finds cost-effective mixtures of water management tactics, [...]
A landmark research effort from the University of Leeds revealed the full scale of the environmental impact of long-distance travel. Despite accounting for fewer than 3% of all trips taken by UK residents, travels of more than 50 miles (one way) account for a startling 70% of all passenger travel-related [...]
