A recent study at the University of São Paulo uncovers the underestimated value of sustainable agriculture systems regarding GHG emissions in Brazil. Novel research, done by scientists from the Center for Nuclear Energy in Agriculture – CENA-USP and Luiz de Queiroz College of Agriculture – ESALQ-USP, has explored the contribution [...]
In a society that is becoming more aware of the influence of greenhouse gases on climate change, creative methods to manage and reduce carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions are required. Researchers at the FAMU-FSU College of Engineering have created a novel biomass-based polymer capable of repeatedly capturing and releasing CO2, suggesting [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
A dedicated group of researchers led by the University of McGill has released new technology capable of real-time detection and analysis of nanoplastic in water, marking a watershed moment in environmental science. This breakthrough advancement has the potential to transform how we handle the worldwide issue of plastic pollution by [...]
As temperatures in cities rise due to climate change, city developers and designers must develop effective ways to reduce urban heat. A recent study headed by UCL (University College London) academics, released in the journal Geophysical Research Letters, sheds fresh light on how various urban heat management systems affect city [...]
A novel discovery in concrete manufacture by the University of Northwestern’s team of engineers provides dual benefits, absorbing carbon dioxide (CO2) from the environment while maintaining if not increasing, concrete strength. This new technique, which employs a carbonated water-based solution throughout manufacture, has the potential to greatly impact worldwide efforts to mitigate climate [...]
Farmers in the United States are dealing with the catastrophic consequences of climate change, including severe temperatures, drought, prolonged rainfall, floods, and erosion. These difficulties considerably impact crop productivity, resulting in a growing curiosity about regenerative agriculture. This agricultural method tries to improve soil health through a variety of techniques. It [...]
Nature reserves and other protected places are crucial to biodiversity conservation. These zones are intended to preserve ecosystems, conserve endangered species, and sustain ecological equilibrium. However, there is persistent disagreement over whether these conservation initiatives are at the cost of local economic development. A new study, published on June 20 [...]
