CAMBRIDGE, MD (April 16, 2021) The National Science Foundation has awarded $1 million to a team of researchers at the University of Maryland Center for Environmental Science to study how the nutrient plume of the nation s largest estuary, the Chesapeake Bay, changes over the course of the year and what those changes mean for food webs and nutrient cycles in the coastal Atlantic Ocean. This knowledge is pressing to accurately update estuary-ocean food web models for long-term shifts in regional climate and the changing frequency and severity of extreme weather events in many regions. We ll be going out to the inner continental shelf over the next several years with the ultimate goals of developing a hydrodynamic model of the Chesapeake Bay plume and gathering empirical and experimental data focused on understanding how the plume drives productivity at the base of the coastal food web, said UMCES ecologist and Assistant Professor Ryan Woodland, who is leading the three-ye

As China awaits a reckoning over climate change targets, environmental groups are turning up the heat over the country s construction of coal-fired power plants.
China s continuing construction of coal plants has become a make-or-break issue for climate researchers and advocates as the government prepares plans to meet President Xi Jinping s goals for peaking carbon emissions before 2030 and achieving carbon neutrality before 2060. How China addresses the apparent contradiction between its massive coal-fired build-out plans and its net-zero emissions plan may become one of the biggest challenges in efforts to limit the rise in global temperatures and meet climate targets, Reuters said.
