A new study published in Nature Water finds that wetland loss across the US has increased residential flood insurance claim payments by more than $10 billion since 1985. The analysis links changes in upstream wetland area to downstream National Flood Insurance Program claims, highlighting the critical role of wetlands in reducing river...
A new study finds that immediate action to reduce methane emissions could preserve Arctic summer sea ice through 2100, with drastic cuts in CO2 also necessary. The chances of saving summer sea ice increase from nearly zero without action to over 80% if net zero CO2 emissions are reached by 2050.
A new study using European satellite data found that Permian oil and gas operations are releasing methane at twice the average rate, with implications for reducing greenhouse gas emissions. The data highlights the importance of satellite technology in tracking methane emissions from large areas.
A new study finds that rice farms emit 45 times more nitrous oxide than continuously flooded farms, which also predominantly emit methane. The authors call for scientists to map flooding regimes and measure emissions, as well as optimize water use to reduce climate impacts.
A new study highlights the urgent need for nations to tackle both climate change and sustainable fisheries management. By adopting effective management practices and limiting global warming to 2 degrees Celsius, significant increases in food, fish, and economic activity are possible.
