Long-term measurements reveal links between climate change and ocean carbon dynamics
Beaver reintroduction key to solving freshwater biodiversity crisis
Reintroducing beavers to their native habitat is an important step towards solving the freshwater biodiversity crisis, according to experts at the University of Stirling. New research from the Faculty of Natural Sciences has provided further support to previous work that…
Understanding nitrogen removal processes from wastewater
The need to process wastewater in high volumes calls for innovative solutions to remove pollutants;
Water availability determines carbon uptake under climate warming: study
Increasing atmospheric CO2 concentration is the leading cause of greenhouse effects and global warming. Notably, rapid climate warming can, in turn, either increase or decrease land carbon uptake, leading to negative or positive carbon cycle-climate change feedback, respectively. Scientists previously…
Are we really protecting rivers from pollution? It’s hard to say, and that’s a problem
More public and private resources than ever are being directed to protecting and preserving aquatic ecosystems and watersheds. Whether mandated for land development, farming or in response to the growing severity and number of natural disasters – scientists from the…

Combination of measurements shows hydrothermal sources under sea in Tanzania — Results could improv
Scientists find a way to quickly determine the purity of water
Scientists from NUST MISIS together with colleagues from Lomonosov Moscow State University have developed a method for quick and effective analysis of the composition of water, which will help to solve the problem of industrial pollution. The methodology is based…
New evidence highlights growing urban water crisis
New research has found that in 15 major cities in the global south, almost half of all households lack access to piped utility water, affecting more than 50 million people. Access is lowest in the cities of sub-Saharan Africa, where…
Warmer winters are changing the makeup of water in Black Sea
WASHINGTON – Warmer winters are starting to alter the structure of the Black Sea, which could foreshadow how ocean compositions might shift from future climate change, according to new research. A new study published in AGU’s Journal of Geophysical Research:…
