Genetic discovery could lead to drought-resistant plants
New knowledge of how plants "breathe" may help us breed and select plants that would better survive scorching summers, says a University of Toronto study. view more (2005-07-19)
Technological breakthrough in the fight to cut greenhouse gases
Scientists at Newcastle University have pioneered breakthrough technology in the fight to cut greenhouse gases. view more (2008-04-25)
Cleaning up pollutants with sunlight
A cheap, harmless chemical and sunlight could provide an environmentally friendly way of destroying micro-pollutants in the environment. UK researchers are developing a new type of reactor to destroy persistent contaminants such as pesticides and pharmaceutical residues. The technology, which breaks down the polluting molecules into carbon... view more... (2002-10-23)
Environmental protection - using mine gas
The gigantic system of tunnels created by the extensive mining of coal beneath the Ruhr area in recent centuries not only leads to subsidence (as in the dramatic incident in Wattenscheid early this year). At certain times and in particular locations, up to 1000 cubic meters of mine gas per hour can escape into the atmosphere from the disused mines... view more... (2000-03-09)
Brown Scientists Say Biodiversity Is Crucial to Ecosystem Productivity
In the first experiment involving a natural environment, scientists at Brown University have shown that richer plant diversity significantly enhances an ecosystem's productivity. view more (2008-04-25)
Ecologists, material scientists pursue genetics of diatom's elegant, etched casing
Diatoms - some of which are so tiny that 30 can fit across the width of a human hair - are so numerous that they are among the key organisms taking the greenhouse gas carbon dioxide out of the Earth's atmosphere. view more (2008-01-24)
Bad sign for global warming: Thawing permafrost holds vast carbon pool
Permafrost blanketing the northern hemisphere contains more than twice the amount of carbon in the atmosphere, making it a potentially mammoth contributor to global climate change depending on how quickly it thaws. view more (2008-09-04)
Fantastic plastic could cut CO2 emissions and purify water
A new membrane that mimics pores found in plants has applications in water, energy and climate change mitigation. view more (2007-10-12)
Ceramic tubes could cut greenhouse gas emissions from power stations
Greenhouse gas emissions from power stations could be cut to almost zero by controlling the combustion process with tiny tubes made from an advanced ceramic material. view more (2007-08-03)
Thawing permafrost increases greenhouse gas emission from subarctic mires
The permafrost in the mires of subarctic Sweden is undergoing dramatic changes. The part of the soils that thaws in the summer, the so-called active layer, has become deeper since 1970 and the permafrost has disappeared altogether in some locations. This has lead to significant changes in the vegetation composition and subsequent increase in... view more... (2004-02-24)
Study critiques corn-for-ethanol's carbon footprint
To avoid creating greenhouse gases, it makes more sense using today's technology to leave land unfarmed in conservation reserves than to plow it up for corn to make biofuel, according to a comprehensive Duke University-led study. view more (2009-03-03)
New findings show increased ocean acidification in Alaska waters
The same things that make Alaska's marine waters among the most productive in the world may also make them the most vulnerable to ocean acidification. view more (2009-08-14)
Global atmospheric carbon level may depend primarily on Southern Ocean
Circulation in the waters near the Antarctic coast may be one of the planet's critical means of regulating levels of carbon dioxide in the Earth's atmosphere, according to Princeton researchers. view more (2006-06-23)
Planting carbon deep in the earth -- rather than the greenhouse
Storing carbon dioxide deep below the earth's surface could be a safe, long-term solution to one of the planet's major contributors to climate change. view more (2007-11-27)
Replacing corn with perennial grasses improves carbon footprint of biofuels
Converting forests or fields to biofuel crops can increase or decrease greenhouse gas emissions, depending on where - and which - biofuel crops are used, University of Illinois researchers report this month. view more (2008-12-03)
How the atmospheres of Mars and Venus are affected by carbon monoxide
Modelling of the Earth's atmosphere has acquired economic importance due to its use in the prediction of ozone depletion and in measuring the impact of global warming. view more (2008-02-26)
Carbon sinks losing the battle with rising emissions
The stabilising influence that land and ocean carbon sinks have on rising carbon emissions is gradually weakening, say scientists attending this week's international Copenhagen Climate Change Conference. view more (2009-03-17)
Oceans' uptake of manmade carbon may be slowing
The oceans play a key role in regulating climate, absorbing more than a quarter of the carbon dioxide that humans put into the air. view more (2009-11-19)
Hold your breath; Plants may absorb less carbon dioxide than we thought
The world's land plants will probably not be able to absorb as great a share of the rising atmospheric carbon dioxide as some models have predicted. view more (2006-04-13)
Climate Change Affecting Earth's Outermost Atmosphere
Carbon dioxide emissions from the burning of fossil fuels will produce a 3 percent reduction in the density of Earth's outermost atmosphere by 2017 view more (2006-12-12)
