Sharks use Earth’s magnetic field like GPS, study suggests
A new study published in the journal Current Biology suggests that sharks use the Earth’s magnetic field to find their way in the sea. Researchers led by biologist Bryan Keller reported this after exposing bonnethead sharks to different magnetic conditions. In one test, the bonnetheads were tricked into thinking that they were located south of their home. In response, the […]

Report: China is a bigger air pollution contributor than all developed nations combined
A report shows that China emitted more greenhouse gases in 2019 than all developed nations combined. Led by the American research firm Rhodium Group, the report notes that the Communist nation’s greenhouse gas emissions are more than 30 million metric tons higher than the combined total of all developed nations, including the United States. Researchers arrived at this finding after measuring […]

Groundwater wells worldwide at risk of going dry, study finds
In a new study published in the journal Science, researchers warn that wells in the United States and more than 35 other countries could dry out if groundwater levels drop by only a few feet. Researchers Scott Jasechko and Debra Perrone, both water resources engineers from the University of California, Santa Barbara, arrived at this finding after analyzing nearly […]

From trash to treasure: Scientists to turn food waste into “high-value products” for new markets like cosmetics and packaging
Scientists from the University of Adelaide in Australia are leading an $11 million research consortium aimed at converting food waste into “high-value products” for markets like cosmetics and packaging. The Research Consortium Program for Agricultural Product Development is a joint research effort from the South Australian government, academic institutions and various stakeholders from the agriculture and food […]

Installing solar panels on pastures boosts land productivity, study finds
Raising lambs in the same area where solar panels are installed increases farmland’s ability to support crops and livestock. This is the conclusion of Oregon State University researchers after comparing pastures covered in solar panels with “traditional” open pastures. The researchers detailed their findings in a paper published in the journal Frontiers in Sustainable Food Systems. Exploring agrivoltaics […]

Wind power emits 75 percent less carbon than solar energy, according to new report
Wind turbines’ carbon emissions remain substantially low compared to solar panels and even more so compared to fossil fuels. This is according to a new report from analysis firm Bernstein Research, which shows that wind power emits 75 percent less greenhouse gases than solar energy. Green energy advocates have long espoused expanding the use of wind and […]

Solar-powered desalination device vaporizes seawater to produce safe drinking water
Researchers developed a solar-powered desalination device that vaporizes saltwater to produce potable water. The unit works thanks to a titanium-based material that captures solar energy and powers evaporation. Made of a special type of paper coated with a compound called titanium nitride oxide, the material heats rapidly and vaporizes water when exposed to the sun. The resulting water vapor is then condensed and […]

Explosive eruptions by Caribbean volcano ravage island and fling climate-cooling aerosols into the atmosphere
La Soufriere, an active volcano in the Caribbean, has been ravaging the island of St.Vincent and flinging sulfate aerosols into the atmosphere through a series of explosive eruptions that started April 9. Communities residing near the volcano have been evacuated as fast-moving pyroclastic flows and volcanic ash engulf the island. Authorities are currently monitoring the highly active […]

NASA to co-develop satellites that can identify air pollution sources
The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) joined a project that would develop special satellites that could identify air pollution “super emitters.” NASA said in a statement on April 15 that its Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) in California would be providing an instrument that would be built into the satellites. Carbon Mapper, the nonprofit leading the project, aims to use the satellites to provide […]

Many geoengineering projects are still underway despite experts’ warning against climate modification
Many geoengineering projects are still underway even though experts warn that manipulating the Earth’s natural systems will only harm the environment, disrupt the food supply and create or intensify conflict. Last December, China announced that it was planning to expand its cloud seeding program to cover more than one and a half times the size of India by 2025. For decades, the Communist […]
