(International Institute for Applied Systems Analysis) More than 820 million people in the world don’t have enough to eat, while climate change and increasing competition for land and water are further raising concerns about the future balance between food demand and supply. The results of a new IIASA-led study can be used to benchmark global …

(University of Helsinki) Reduced mobility induced by the COVID-19 restrictions had only minor influence on particulate pollution levels according to atmosphere studies in the Po Valley region of northern Italy. Eventually computer simulations indicated that the change in air quality led to an increase in secondary aerosol formation. (University of Helsinki) Reduced mobility induced by …

(University of Birmingham) New European Union regulations on batteries could offer a huge boost to the global decarbonisation mission – but only if it leverages its political and economic weight to ensure a fairer global marketplace.

(Earth Institute at Columbia University) A just-published study coins a new metric: the “mortality cost of carbon.” That is, how many future lives will be lost–or saved–depending on whether we increase or decrease our current carbon emissions. If the numbers hold up, they are quite high. (Earth Institute at Columbia University) A just-published study coins …
More carbon emissions will kill more people; here’s how many Read More »
(University of East Anglia) Many species within Kenya’s Tana River Basin will be unable to survive if global temperatures continue to rise as they are on track to do – according to new research from the University of East Anglia. A new study published in the journal PLOS ONE outlines how remaining within the goals …

(Institute of Atmospheric Physics, Chinese Academy of Sciences) About six gigatons — roughly 12 times the mass of all living humans — of carbon appears to be emitted over land every year, according to data from the Chinese Global Carbon Dioxide Monitoring Scientific Experimental Satellite (TanSat). (Institute of Atmospheric Physics, Chinese Academy of Sciences) About …

(University of California – San Diego) UC San Diego engineers developed a soft, stretchy ultrasound patch that can be worn on the skin to monitor blood flow through vessels deep inside the body. Such a device can make it easier to detect cardiovascular problems, like blockages in the arteries that could lead to strokes or …
