Over many years, researchers examining elephants have noted an odd phenomenon: when an elephant speaks to a group, all of the others answer, but sometimes only one individual does. This has given rise to an intriguing hypothesis: may elephants speak to each other using the same kind of names? A [...]
Researchers and artists collaborated to ‘painting with light,’ turning unseen air pollution becomes visible evidence. This innovative project attempts to highlight the health dangers that people who work and live in Ethiopia, India, and the United Kingdom encounter. The team has created dramatic visual evidence of pollution levels in three countries’ [...]
A revolutionary study provides new insights into three major climate technologies that aim to protect or boost the blue carbon naturally collected by marine and coastal environments. These breakthroughs include fast initiatives to safeguard the Great Barrier Reef’s ecosystem, satellite-tracked kelp banks in the deep sea, and seagrass sanctuaries in [...]
A recent perspective paper in Natural Climate Change offers novel Demand-side Strategies to dramatically reduce the consumption of resources and fossil fuel air pollution. This study, led by Felix Creutzig of the Mercator Research Institute on Global Commons and Climate Change (MCC) in Berlin, Germany, involves inputs from IIASA researchers Alessio [...]
To address the mounting dangers to reef ecosystems, researchers at the University of Hawai’i at Manoa Hawai’i Institute of Marine Biology (HIMB) invented a groundbreaking technique for forecasting coral disease. This technique represents a significant leap in marine conservation, allowing conservationists to execute immediate actions that can reduce the effects of [...]
In the field of genetics, the variety and complexity of the ecosystem on Earth are frequently evaluated by the total amount of the DNA molecule, the molecular structure that conveys the genetic codes for the formation, operating improvement, and reproduction across all known creatures. A recent remarkable finding shattered prior [...]
Ships emit a considerable amount of carbon dioxide (CO2), accounting for around 3% of total human-caused CO2 emissions. With few alternatives for reducing their carbon impact, a unique technology suggests that ships could absorb CO2 emissions via a naturally occurring chemical reaction. This process includes bubbling exhaust through saltwater and limestone, converting CO2 to stable [...]
Carbon dioxide (CO2), which contributes significantly to emissions of greenhouse gases and global warming, can converted from a pollution to a beneficial resource. Scientists from the US Department of Energy’s (DOE) Argonne National Laboratory, Northern Illinois University, and Valparaiso University invented an array of tin-based catalysts able to convert CO2 into widely produced chemicals [...]
In the vast and harsh geography of the Rocky Mountains, the revival of grizzly bears demonstrates the potential of corridors for wildlife and habitat reconnection. These vast mountains, which reach from the northwest United States to Canada along the way to Mexico, provide habitat for a variety of wildlife, including grizzly bears, wolverines, and [...]
The idea of sustainability comprises a wide range of viewpoints and beliefs, representing the various ways in which people regard and interact with nature. It is feasible to align different value systems to accomplish common sustainability goals despite these discrepancies. The article examines how many natural values from relational to intrinsic to instrumental can converge toward shared sustainability goals that are backed by interdisciplinary [...]
