Recent research carried out by an international group of researchers reveals that irreversible loss of the West Antarctic and Greenland ice sheets, as well as a related rapid acceleration of sea level rise, could be inevitable if the global temperature change is not stabilized below 1.8 °C relative to preindustrial levels.
In an important step towards a commercially viable green hydrogen industry, researchers have created a less expensive and more energy-efficient method of producing hydrogen straight from saltwater.
Scientists from Harvard have revealed an out-of-this-world geoengineering approach that has the potential to slow the effects of global warming using space dust. While something of a moonshot, the researchers claim dust mined and launched from the moon could have an impact on the flow of solar radiation, slowing down the effects of climate change.
Scientists discovered that glacier movement in Greenland is more complicated than it sounds, with deformation in warmer ice comprising small amounts of water accounting for motion earlier thought to be caused by sliding where the ice meets the bedrock beneath.
More than 44 million individuals in the United States rely on unregulated private drinking water wells. Scientists from the University of New Hampshire and other institutions discovered that current monitoring practices do not truly capture groundwater pollution risks.
