No one has looked at these numbers before. It has been said that emissions need to be cut by 50 per cent, but no one knows what total we are cutting from, or where we are going.
This massive ice stream is already in a phase of fast retreat (a "collapse" when viewed on geological timescales) leading to widespread concern about exactly how much, or how fast, it may give up its ice to the ocean.
Greenland's rapidly melting ice sheet will eventually raise global sea level by at least 10.6 inches (27 centimeters)—more than twice as much as previously forecast—according to a study published Monday.
These grants will support the design and implementation of projects to enhance the resilience of coastal communities and improve habitat for fish and wildlife
With an estimated 8 million metric tons of plastic waste escaping to our oceans each year, plastic pollution adversely affects the environment, climate, and even our health.
The Arctic has warmed nearly four times faster than the rest of the planet over the last 40 years, according to research that suggests climate models are underestimating the rate of polar heating.
Whilst scientists have a good understanding of how the West Antarctic Ice Sheet is melting and contributing to sea level rise, far less was known about the East, until now.
“Pamela” is an uncrewed surface vehicle (USV) developed as an entrepreneurial idea at NTNU for sampling a variety of surface water particles, from microplastic to plankton to salmon lice.
The results provide insights into the temporal variability of sinking microplastics and thus a first approach to understanding their fate in the ocean.
This is the first time 3D-printed reefs are used in Danish waters, and they will complement existing boulder reefs that Ørsted established when constructing the Anholt Offshore Wind Farm in 2012-13.
The two agreed to support preparation of priority investment projects to reduce pollution in the marine and coastal environments of the three Southern Mediterranean countries, namely Egypt, Lebanon and Tunisia.
