“#Climate change will cause more extreme wet and dry seasons, researchers find” This map shows how various precipitation regions — also called regimes— are distributed throughout the world, according to new research involving Clemson University’s Ashok Mishra. Areas in dark orange are most vulnerable to extremes in wet and dry seasons, a trend expected to…
“#By 2025, carbon dioxide levels in Earth’s atmosphere will be higher than at any time in the last 3.3 million years” The composition of fossilised zooplankton shells has enabled the reconstruction of past pH and CO2. Credit: University of Southampton By 2025, atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2) levels will very likely be higher than they were…
“#Sea surface temperature has a big impact on coral outplant survival” A bleached coral in Hawaii. Without rapid intervention, coral reefs will continue to degrade, resulting in what may be the first human-caused loss of an entire biome.
