Rising CO2 concentrations and water temperatures this century are likely to have transformative effects on many coastal marine organisms. Here, we compared the responses of two life history stages (larval,
New research from the University of Missouri indicates that Atlantic Ocean temperatures during the greenhouse climate of the Late Cretaceous Epoch were influenced by circulation in the deep ocean. These
The world's governments and relief agencies need to plan now to resettle millions of people expected to be displaced by climate change, an international panel of experts said on Thursday. Resettlement
The effect of ocean acidification conditions has been investigated in cultures of the diatom Thalassiosira pseudonana CCMP1335. Expected end-of-the-century pCO2 (aq) concentrations of 760 µatm (equivalent
The effects of global environmental change, including coastal flooding, reduced rainfall in drylands and water scarcity, will almost certainly alter patterns of human migration. Conventional narratives
Drought is the most pressing problem caused by climate change. It receives too little attention, says Joseph Romm.
It is well demonstrated that the responses of plants to elevated atmospheric CO2 concentration are species-specific and dependent on environmental conditions. We investigated the responses of a subshrub
Talks of Himalayan glaciers melting fast which will adversely affect major rivers like Brahmaptura has come to be true, but this time this has been confirmed in China which is building a mega dam to control flow of the river. Qin Dahe, the former head of the China Meteorological Administration, said that glaciers in the Tibetan Plateau is melting very fast which will affect the climate and major rivers. The Tibetan Plateau contains the world’s third-largest store of ice. Temperatures are rising four times faster than elsewhere in China, and the Tibetan glaciers are retreating at a higher speed than in any other part of the world
Global temperature rise could exceed "safe" levels of two degrees Celsius in some parts of the world in many of our lifetimes if greenhouse gas emissions continue to increase, two research papers published
The Biodiversity of Sikkim faces a number of threats due to biotic as well as abiotic factors. It is essential to identify these factors so that the remedial measures can be taken to strengthen the conservation
