Ancient Maya communities made extensive use of liquid mercury and a red, mercury-containing pigment called cinnabar to decorate buildings, pottery and burial sites. Unsurprisingly, as previous research has shown, this led to mercury contamination of soils and reservoirs at some Maya sites. And that pollution may have…
New high-resolution speleothem records from China and India, together with isotope-enabled climate models, show that abrupt glacial ocean circulation recoveries took centuries, not decades—a finding with important implications for how we assess future Atlantic circulation change. The work is published in the journal…
As sea levels creep higher in the Pacific, salt leaches into the soil and reduces the land available to grow food. Ocean warming is damaging coral reefs, reducing fish stocks, and salinity has tainted freshwater supplies.
A Dutch family doctor named Tibor Poelmann posted a petition on an online forum for general practitioners (GPs) in 2021. He wanted their pension fund to stop investing in oil and gas. It quickly gathered 1,200 signatures.
A monster El Niño is nearing its peak, deepening drought in many parts of the world. Coming as countries slash foreign aid and war chokes supplies of energy and fertilizer, the climate phenomenon could leave millions more people in vulnerable countries without enough to eat. Read more on E360 →
Australia has designated a seabed storage site near its northern coast where a Japanese company plans to store massive amounts of carbon pollution using a technology that has divided climate scientists.
An international study jointly led by researchers from the Department of Geography and the Institute for Climate and Carbon Neutrality at the Faculty of Social Sciences, The University of Hong Kong (HKU), has revealed that vegetation resilience across Northern Hemisphere permafrost regions underwent a widespread…
Mount Kilimanjaro is warming in some places and cooling in others, according to a new study by the University of Portsmouth, published in npj Climate and Atmospheric Science.
Every Bonfire Night, people pay for a box of fireworks so their friends and family can enjoy the colorful display. Within a few minutes, it's all over. But the price on the box doesn't reflect the hidden costs: the smoke inhaled by neighbors, the animals disturbed or the public services called out when things go wrong.
A new study published in Environmental Research Letters has found little evidence that hyperscale data centers cause significant heating of surrounding land. While a previous study suggested data centers heat surrounding land by about 2 °C on average (up to 9 °C), reaching 10 kilometers (6.2 miles) away, 13 years of…
An estimated 6 billion liters (1.6 billion gallons) of untreated sewage is discharged daily into the Ganges River Basin, home to 650 million people. Combined with seasonal monsoon flooding, the sewage and other pollutants, including agricultural runoff and industrial waste, create a major threat to public health.
Researchers from the Aerospace Information Research Institute of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (AIRCAS) used satellite images collected across the growing season to map shrub cover in the grasslands of Inner Mongolia, China. By tracking seasonal differences in growth, they were able to distinguish shrub patches from…
