Carbon markets do a pretty good job of rewarding projects for reducing or storing carbon but typically overlook other benefits, says UC San Diego School of Global Policy and Strategy economist Teevrat Garg.
Following a four-year study, scientists at UC San Diego’s Scripps Institution of Oceanography released a new report to determine if an early warning system could potentially detect a landslide before it happens.
A 2019 Australian bushfire provided a case study enabling researchers to consider whether the geoengineering technique called marine cloud brightening could diminish the destructive effects of major El Niño events in the future.
A comprehensive study of more than 1,100 springs in the American West warns that critical biodiversity hotspots are facing a mounting extinction crisis.
Researchers have observed a cell ejection phenomenon in communities of bacteria (biofilms), similar to how jellyfish eject stingers. Biofilms eject cells to ensure the community survives in new colonies. They leveraged the discovery as a possible new way to eliminate antibiotic-tolerant bacteria.
