Росприроднадзор актуализировал форму 2-ТП (воздух): что изменилось, и кто должен сдавать отчетность

Росприроднадзор: главное за неделю — изменения в расчете платы за НВОС, новые профессиональные стандарты в сфере экологии, развитие цифровых сервисов для природопользователей, возмещение вреда окружающей среде и проекты юных экологов

Как сегодня работает геологический надзор и какие нарушения чаще всего выявляет Росприроднадзор? О риск-ориентированном подходе, контроле золотодобычи, отходах недропользования и профилактике нарушений рассказывает заместитель руководителя Росприроднадзора Светлана Жулина

Extreme heat putting pregnant women, newborns at risk: UN climate chief

Extreme heat is putting pregnant mothers and their newborns at increasing risk, United Nations climate chief Simon Stiell will warn on Monday.

Почему экосистемам и видам нашей планеты необходим генетический ремонт

Климат нашей планеты стремительно меняется, а многим видам животных и растений угрожает вымирание. Чтобы не допустить сокращения биоразнообразия и даже «воскресить» вымершие виды, ученые предлагают использовать методы генной инженерии и синтетической биологии. Какая работа уже ведется и с какими рисками может…

A climate threat may lurk beneath Antarctica's last great unknown

A region of Antarctica with some of the greatest potential to reshape the natural world and human society is also the least scientifically understood and explored.

Heat-trapping gas once frozen in Arctic ground is slowly leaking and warming the planet

As Ted Schuur stepped along the edges of Smith Lake, a bubble surfaced from the muck underfoot. And then another. They're bubbles of methane, a potent heat-trapping gas made from decomposing plants and animals that had once been stuck in Alaska's frigid permafrost.

Scientists just found a new way to make hydrogen from water

A new light-activated material can efficiently produce hydrogen from water without requiring an additional expensive metal catalyst. Researchers say its unusual sulfur-based chemistry could point toward cheaper and more practical ways to turn sunlight into clean fuel.

Cry for help as French-Swiss lake dries up

The picturesque Lac des Brenets between France and Switzerland has dried up after a record-breaking hot summer, leaving locals crying out for help to save the lake.

How can the same El Niño cause drought in one part of the world and floods in another?

The Pacific Ocean is warming unusually quickly, and this year's El Niño has already surpassed previous records. Forecasters expect it to strengthen even further before approaching its usual peak around December.

Today's emissions choices could limit Antarctic ice loss and sea-level rise for coastal communities

Cutting greenhouse gas emissions now may limit how much ice Antarctica loses this century and reduce the sea-level rise facing coastal communities, according to findings from a new study.
