Researchers trace the origin of a 2015 iceberg to a crack that formed deep beneath the ice

Cement-based materials eventually reabsorb much of the CO2 released during creation

Powerful new model indicates that current pollution standards may be inadequate to ward off worsening algae blooms

Wiping out an entire forest can have significant effects on global climate patterns and alter vegetation on the other side of the world, according to a study led by the University of Washington

Both institutions were looking for ways to reduce their solid waste streams and enhance their sustainability efforts

A global research team discovered that more than 80 percent of ecological processes that form the foundation for healthy marine, freshwater, and terrestrial ecosystems already show signs of responses to climate change

New research "highlights the need to identify and protect ecosystems where the carbon sink is growing rapidly"

Measurements reveal the relationship between individual CO2 emissions and the Arctic's shrinking summer sea ice

Understanding the importance of these indirect effects, in comparison to the direct effects, will improve our understanding of how ecosystems respond to climate change

The researchers propose using a “bioenergy-biochar system” that removes carbon dioxide from the atmosphere in an environmental pinch, until other removal methods become economically feasible and in regions where other methods are impractical

Invention could dramatically reduce the number of chemicals in cleaning products and their impact on the environment

 “Our focus is on targeted conservation,” says David Watkins, a professor of civil and environmental engineering at Michigan Tech and a lead researcher on the grant
