Crafoord Prize Laureate showed that many factors affect the climate

Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences
Grant and Award Announcement

Veerabhadran Ramanathan has laid the foundation for our understanding of how small particles and gases that accumulate in the atmosphere contribute to climate change. This knowledge is vitally important for combatting global warming. The Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences is now awarding him the Crafoord Prize in Geosciences, worth eight million Swedish kronor.

Conveying the concept of blue carbon in Japanese media: A new study provides insights

Doshisha University
Peer-Reviewed Publication

Blue carbon, referring to the carbon captured and stored in marine and coastal ecosystems, is often considered as a crucial factor for environmental conservation strategies. A recent study examined the role of Japanese television programs and newspapers in communicating the concept of blue carbon, along with its risks and potentials. The study highlights the need for effective communication strategies to increase awareness and felicitate the development of informed policies.

Using AI to uncover the secret lives of fungi

Northern Arizona University
Peer-Reviewed Publication

A new study led by Northern Arizona University doctoral student Beatrice M. Bock used a specialized language model called BioBERT to develop an automated workflow that assesses scientific abstracts using AI and accurately identifies whether a fungus has a single lifestyle or a dual, flexible one. Understanding the flexibility of fungi could play a vital role in predicting how forests and farms will react to climate change.

Mineral dust accelerating melting of Greenland ice sheet

University of Waterloo
Peer-Reviewed Publication

Large-scale melting of the Greenland ice sheet is irreversible and happening at a rapid rate, and now a new international study is the first to understand why.

A University of Waterloo scientist and a team of international collaborators found that airborne mineral dust and other aerosols are directly connected to how much algae grows on the ice. The algae interfere with albedo, or the reflection of the sun’s rays, exacerbating melting.

Farm waste could lock away carbon for decades

University of East London
Peer-Reviewed Publication

Agricultural waste that is usually burned or left to rot could play a far bigger role in tackling climate change if it were instead used in long-lasting building materials, according to new research from the University of East London (UEL).
