Environmental research in the tropics is heavily skewed, according to a comprehensive study led from Umeå University. Humid lowland forest ecosystems receive a disproportionate amount of attention, while colder and drier regions that are more affected by climate change are severely underrepresented.
Soils store more carbon than the atmosphere and vegetation combined, with soil microorganisms playing the main role. As a result, the global soil carbon cycle—by which carbon enters, moves through, and leaves soils worldwide—exerts a significant impact on climate change feedback. Now an important study led by researchers from the Institute of Earth Environment of the Chinese Academy of Sciences sheds new light on this cycle by overturning assumptions about the relationship between microbial respiration and carbon storage.
An international body of research led by UNSW academics warns progress towards gender equality at work is stalling – and in some cases going backwards – as climate change, artificial intelligence, violence and politics reshape working conditions.
New research involving the University of East Anglia (UEA) reveals how fast the world’s river deltas are sinking and the human-driven causes.
Home to hundreds of millions of people, until now it was unclear what the rate of delta elevation loss is, or what is driving delta subsidence.
In a new study published today in Nature, scientists report that land subsidence caused by humans - through the extraction of groundwater - is the main culprit.
A six-year study, led by PhD researcher Sarah Watts of the University’s Faculty of Natural Sciences, looked at the impact of deer management on mountain woodland.
Curtin University researchers have demonstrated a new way to uncover the ancient history of Australia’s landscapes, which could offer crucial insights into how our environment responds to geological processes and climate change and even where deposits of valuable minerals may be found.
Concordia research shows that in today’s crises—like climate change and social unrest—mothers face growing societal pressure to soothe anxiety and address structural problems through parenting. This “maternal responsibilization” adds burdens as governments retreat from collective solutions.
