| Making methane from CO2: Carbon capture grows more affordable Posted: 03 Sep 2021 06:53 AM PDT Researchers can make methane from captured CO2 and renewably sourced hydrogen, offering a path toward cheaper synthetic natural gas. |
| Mountaintop mining causes 40% loss of aquatic biodiversity Posted: 02 Sep 2021 02:47 PM PDT Using environmental DNA scans of Appalachian streams, researchers found that the effects of mountaintop coal mining in West Virginia are even more widespread than previously reported: Streams from heavily mined watersheds harbor 40% fewer species than streams with cleaner water. |
| Indian wolf among world’s most endangered and distinct wolves Posted: 02 Sep 2021 02:46 PM PDT The Indian wolf could be far more endangered than previously recognized, say first scientists to sequence its genome. Indian wolves could also represent the most ancient surviving lineage of wolves. |
| How much energy do we need to achieve a decent life for all? Posted: 02 Sep 2021 09:50 AM PDT For many, an increase in living standards would require an increase in energy provision. At the same time, meeting current climate goals under the Paris Agreement would benefit from lower energy use. Researchers have assessed how much energy is needed to provide the global poor with a decent life and have found that this can be reconciled with efforts to meet climate targets. |
| Grim warning for Aussie species in conservation checklist Posted: 02 Sep 2021 09:49 AM PDT The first comprehensive list of the threats to Australia's most endangered plants and animals reveals blunt news about the future for some of the country's favorite species. The study has compiled a data set, listing the threats to Australian species from habitat loss, fragmentation, and degradation. |
| Coastal grape growers can use less water during drought Posted: 01 Sep 2021 01:11 PM PDT California grape growers in coastal areas can use less water during times of drought and cut irrigation levels without affecting crop yields or quality, according to a new study. |
| Public participation in management of China’s waterways improves water quality Posted: 31 Aug 2021 04:03 PM PDT An estimated 70% of China's rivers and lakes are too polluted for human use, the result of decades of intensifying economic development that have increased the amount of pollution that winds up in the water. Fixing China's water pollution problems is an uphill battle, but citizen monitoring of remediation efforts could lead to consistent improvements in water quality, according to researchers. |
| Breathing humid and salt-enriched air reduces respiratory droplet generation, study finds Posted: 31 Aug 2021 10:14 AM PDT Breathing water and salt suppresses the generation of respiratory droplets, and potentially reduces COVID-19 incidence and symptoms, researchers have found. |
