Scientists call for a tree planting drive to help tackle heatwaves
Adding more natural areas across our towns and cities could cool them by up to 6°C during heatwaves, according to new research from the University of Surrey’s Global Centre for Clean Air Research (GCARE).
Marine heatwaves have devastating impacts on marine life in the tropical western and central Pacific Ocean region
Research published in Global and Planetary Change examines the trends and projected frequency, intensity and duration of marine heatwaves (MHWs).
