Hyperion Water Reclamation Plant in Los Angeles Image © Doc Searls / Flickr Salt is power. It might sound like alchemy, but the energy in places where salty ocean water and freshwater mingle could provide a massive source of renewable power. Stanford researchers have developed an affordable, durable technology that could harness this so-called blue energy. The paper, recently published in American Chemical Society’s ACS Omega, describes the battery and suggests using it to make coastal wastewater treatment plants energy-independent. [ 146 more words ]

Maize crop failure © Uschi Dugulin from Pixabay he El Niño climate cycle has been responsible for widespread simultaneous crop failure in different regions of the world, a study has found, putting pressure on countries to prepare for future weather events. A paper published in ScienceAdvances showed that the El Niño Southern Oscillation, a warm water wave that travels across the Pacific every three to five years, causes a variety of irregular weather patterns, which affect crops worldwide.

Purple sea urchins munch on kelp off the coast of California. photo © Christie Yorke Sea urchins have gotten a bad rap on the USA Pacific coast. The spiky sea creatures can mow down entire swaths of kelp forest, leaving behind rocky urchin barrens. An article in the New York Times went so far as to call them “cockroaches of the ocean.” But new research suggests that urchins play a more complex role in their ecosystems than previously believed.

Photo © giselaatje via Pixabay The record-breaking heatwave that struck France and other European nations in June 2019 was made at least five — and possibly 100 — times more likely by climate change, scientists have calculated. Such heatwaves are also about 4 degrees Celsius hotter than a century ago, the researchers say. Furthermore, the heatwaves hitting Europe are more frequent and more severe than climate models have predicted. [ 108 more words ]

It's important to remember your priorities when purchasing a surf rack. © Grant Ellis/Yakima Racks Surfers often drive trucks because we tend to hoard gear like someone in need of a reality TV intervention, and that gear needs to go places—namely, to the beach. Obviously there are the boards, which we tirelessly collect in pursuit of the perfect craft for every wave size and shape theoretically possible, but there are also the plastic bins filled with wetsuits and booties, the backpacks stuffed with towels and sunscreen and at least one sandy nub of wax, and the coolers loaded with snacks and beer for the dermatologist-not-recommended marathon beach days.

The Greenland ice sheet at sunset © Research team University of Bristol New research led by climate scientists from the University of Bristol suggests that the representation of clouds in climate models is as, or more, important than the amount of greenhouse gas emissions when it comes to projecting future Greenland ice sheet melt. Recent research shows that the whole of the Greenland ice sheet could be gone within the next thousand years, raising global sea level by more than seven metres. [ 118 more words ]

Kennicott Glacier, Wrangell Mountains, Alaska © Regina Hock A new review of glacier research data paints a picture of a future planet with a lot less ice and a lot more water. Glaciers worldwide are projected to lose anywhere from 18% to 36% of their mass by 2100, resulting in almost 10 inches of sea level rise. The review is the most comprehensive global comparison of glacier simulations ever compiled. [ 51 more words ]
