An article in Geophysical Research Letters outlines that a positive trend in the Southern Annular Mode is unlikely to have caused observed cooling in Southern Ocean sea surface temperatures.
An article in Marine Policy assessed the abundance and causes of discarded fishing gear in Kerala, India, to help inform fishing debris management practices.
An article in Space Weather estimates that an event like the Halloween solar storm of 2003 could cause large economic losses in the aviation sector if it occurred in the present day.
An article in Atmos. Chem. Phys. found that reductions in maritime sulfur emissions led to less reflective clouds above a major shipping corridor, with potential implications for regional warming.
An article in Science Advances models the noise reduction potential of slowing down marine vessels and how this can mitigate impacts on marine mammals.
An article in Science Advances uses Si and O isotopes of Earth’s oldest rocks to identify the onset of crustal recycling, with potential implications for the onset of subduction-like tectonics.
An article in Sustainable Cities and Society finds that urban tree cover tends to lower surface temperatures across 44 cities in the USA, with an even larger magnitude of cooling in socioeconomically disadvantaged neighbourhoods.
An article in Renewable and Sustainable Energy Reviews highlights improvements in air quality and resulting reduced mortality across 30 metropolitan areas in the USA with widescale adoption of electric vehicles.
An article in Nature Sustainability shows where air pollution, and its associated health impacts, will be highest in year 2100 under a range of global change scenarios.
An article in Environmental Research finds that wildfire events in Brazil increased the ambient concentration of air pollutants between 2003–2018, which contributed to air-pollution related deaths.
An article in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences explores whether changes in the contrast and intensity of artwork could reflect air pollution trends throughout the Industrial Revolution.
An article in Nature Communications reveals that protected areas will continue to include suitable habitat for more than 90% of analysed herpetofauna under climate change scenarios.
