By Sönke Dangendorf et al. Abstract Understanding historical and projected coastal sea-level change is limited because the impact of large-scale ocean dynamics is not well constrained. Here, we use a global set of tide-gauge records over nine regions to analyse the relationship between coastal sea-level variability and open-ocean steric height, related to density fluctuations. Interannual-to-decadal
By Francesco D’Adamo et al. Highlights We present a 30+ years continental-scale assessment of African rangeland dynamics. Vegetation was controlled by non-climatic drivers in ca. 26.5% of African rangelands. Most rangelands greened up following a significant increase in woody vegetation. We oppose that greening improves livelihoods as woody plants reduce palatability. Angola and Mozambique showed
By Andrea D. Steffen Synthetic biologists performed a biochemical switcheroo, re-engineering a bacterium that usually consumes a diet of simple sugars into one that constructs its cells by absorbing carbon dioxide (CO2) like plants. The work paves the way for engineered microbes that sequester CO2 out of the air and turn it into medicines and
Have you ever worn a dark T-shirt on a sunny day and felt the fabric warm in the Sun’s rays? Most of us know dark colors absorb sunlight and light colors reflect it – but did you know this doesn’t work the same way in the Sun’s non-visible wavelengths? The Sun is Earth’s power source,
By Jumpei Miura NAGAKUTE, Aichi Prefecture–Toyota Central R&D Labs Inc. said it has gone one better than even plants, improving the efficiency of its artificial photosynthesis technology to a world record level. The Toyota Motor Corp. group research institute, based in Nagakute, Aichi Prefecture, announced on April 21 that the technology now surpasses plants in its
University of Maine researchers are participating in a monthlong research voyage in the North Atlantic Ocean to investigate the degree to which the visual characteristics of the upper ocean captured by satellites reveal information about plankton communities residing there, the amount of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere they fix, and the amount of carbon they
By Tomy Hos and Moti Herskowitz Highlights Production of fuels from CO-rich waste gases is economically viable. “Drop in” renewable fuels can be produced directly by a novel catalytic process. Proposed process improves the energy efficiency and economic value of the gases. CO2 emissions from the steel plant are reduced significantly. Abstract Waste gases generated
Every time severe winter weather strikes the United States or Europe, reporters are fond of saying that global warming may be to blame. The paradox goes like this: As Arctic sea ice melts and the polar atmosphere warms, the swirling winds that confine cold Arctic air weaken, letting it spill farther south. But this idea,
by Alan Longhurst “Never before in 1000 years the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC), also known as the Gulf Stream System, has been as weak as in the last decades“. This announcement from the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research was headlined recently in my morning newspaper in France (and in dozens of others elsewhere) as being
By Guiyan Zang et al. Abstract Captured CO2 is a potential feedstock to produce fuel/chemicals using renewable electricity as the energy source. We explored resource availability and synergies by region in the United States and conducted cost and environmental analysis to identify unique opportunities in each region to inform possible regional and national actions for
The CO2 Coalition was established in 2015 as a 501(c)(3) for the purpose of educating thought leaders, policy makers, and the public about the important contribution made by carbon dioxide to our lives and the economy.
