Changes in oxygen concentrations in our ocean can disrupt fundamental biological cycles
New research led by scientists at the University of Bristol has shown that the feedback mechanisms that were thought to keep the marine nitrogen cycle relatively stable over geological time can break down when oxygen levels in the ocean decline…
A study compares how water is managed in Spain, California and Australia
Turning on the faucet and having water come out has become such a common daily occurrence that nobody stops to think about it. In times of abundance, everything goes smoothly. However, when rain is scarce or almost inexistent and reservoir…
Increase in cannabis cultivation or residential development could impact water resources
Cannabis cultivation could have a significant effect on groundwater and surface water resources when combined with residential use, evidence from a new study suggests. Researchers in Canada and the US investigated potential reductions in streamflow, caused by groundwater pumping for…
Vanishing ice puts reindeer herders at risk
Deep in the Sayan Mountains of northern Mongolia, patches of ice rest year-round in the crooks between hills. Locals in this high tundra call the perennial snowbanks munkh mus, or eternal ice. They’re central to lives of the region’s traditional…
Implementing no-till and cover crops in Texas cotton systems
Healthy soil leads to productive and sustainable agriculture. Farmers who work with, not against, the soil can improve the resiliency of their land. Because of this, practices such as no-till and cover crops and topics such as regenerative agriculture and…

Get over it? When it comes to recycled water, consumers won’t
UC Riverside study shows that, while people can come to appreciate recycled water’s benefits, they still don’t want to use it
Sierra Nevada has oldest underground water recharge system in Europe
Scientists from the University of Granada, the IGME, and the Universities of Cologne and Lisbon have demonstrated that the careo irrigation channels of Sierra Nevada constitute the oldest underground aquifer recharge system on the continent
Lehigh engineers designing a more efficient tidal turbine with NSF grant
Arindam Banerjee’s lab uses innovative active grid turbulence generator to mimic water conditions of Verdant Power’s Roosevelt Island Tidal Energy (RITE) Project
Future rainfall could far outweigh current climate predictions
Homes and communities across the UK have felt the full force of torrential downpours in recent weeks. And the UK’s uplands could in future see significantly more annual rainfall than is currently being predicted in national climate models, according to…

Climate impact of hydropower varies widely
Hydropower is broadly considered to be much more environmentally friendly than electricity generated from fossil fuels, and in many cases this is true. However, a new study reveals that the climate impact of hydropower facilities varies widely throughout the world…

Knowing your neighbors may shape US household yard care practices
Income, climate also considered in assessing yard fertilization, irrigation and pesticide use
Urban development reduces flash flooding chances in arid West
Urban development in the eastern United States results in an increase in flash flooding in nearby streams, but in the arid West, urbanization has just the opposite effect, according to a Penn State researcher, who suggests there may be lessons…
When reporting climate-driven human migration, place matters
University of Arizona researchers have shown that the conversation around migration out of Central American countries should be more nuanced and based on local trends rather than regional expectations

Ancient rain gauge: New evidence links groundwater, climate changes in deep time
Changes in groundwater millions of years ago created alternating layers of vivid yellow and brown in the mineral sphalerite, and those variations align with movements in Earth’s orbit that impacted climate in the deep past, Penn State scientists found. The…
Rocky Mountain not-so high: Oil, gas wells drive down Colorado home values, reveals WVU research
A cornucopia of contradiction is dotting the landscape of Colorado’s Front Range, at the foot of the Rocky Mountains. In the foreground of dramatic peaks and valleys, which are never out-of-season for a stunning snapshot, are — oil and gas…
Half of Piedmont drinking wells may exceed NC’s hexavalent chromium standards
DURHAM, N.C. – A new study which combines measurements from nearly 1,400 drinking water wells across North Carolina estimates that more than half of the wells in the state’s central region contain levels of cancer-causing hexavalent chromium in excess of…

Gold mining critically impairs water quality in rivers across Peruvian biodiversity hotspot
Study examines increased sediment levels in rivers as a result of mining
New catalyst efficiently produces hydrogen from seawater
Holds promise for large-scale hydrogen production, desalination
Scientists study impact of sediments and nutrients from Conowingo Dam on Chesapeake Bay
Major storm events have short-term impact, but Chesapeake Bay remains resilient in the long run, scientists say
