Global Warming and Coastal Erosion One of the most certain consequences of global warming is an increase of global (eustatic) sea level. The resulting inundation from rising seas will heavily impact low-lying areas; at least 100 million persons live within one meter of mean sea level and are at increased risk in the coming decades. [1] Coastal Erosion and Transgressive Stratigraphy Unconformities of transgressive sequences commonly occur within the basal beds of the sequences, not below them. Such unconformities, called … Continue reading “Latest News on Coastal Erosion : March -2020”

A global boom in hydropower dam construction Human population growth, economic development, climate change, and the need to close the electricity access gap have stimulated the search for new sources of renewable energy. In response to this need, major new initiatives in hydropower development are now under way. At least 3,700 major dams, each with a capacity of more than 1 MW, are either planned or under construction, primarily in countries with emerging economies. These dams are predicted to increase … Continue reading “News Update on Dam Construction Research: Oct – 2019”

Measuring the total economic value of restoring ecosystem services in an impaired river basin: results from a contingent valuation survey Five system services that would be restored  on a 45-mile section of the Platte River were delineated  to respondents employing a building block approach developed by associate degree knowledge domain team. These system services were dilution of waste matter, natural purification of water, erosion management, surroundings for fish and life, and recreation. Households were asked a divided alternative temperament to … Continue reading “Latest Research on River Basin: Oct – 2019”

Enhancing global food security by increasing the productivity of green revolution varieties of cereals risks increasing the collateral environmental damage produced by inorganic nitrogen fertilizers. Improvements in the efficiency of nitrogen use of crops are therefore essential; however, they require an in-depth understanding of the co-regulatory mechanisms that integrate growth, nitrogen assimilation and carbon fixation. Here we show that the balanced opposing activities and physical interactions of the rice GROWTH-REGULATING FACTOR 4 (GRF4) transcription factor and the growth inhibitor DELLA … Continue reading “Modulating plant growth–metabolism coordination for sustainable agriculture”

Global warming could be in reverse by 2050 if we take action now – Chad Frischmann

We could get to the stage where atmospheric greenhouse gases are in decline – a point known as drawdown – and begin to reverse global warming before 2050, but it will require us adopting solutions at an aggressive rate, according to Chad Frischmann, vice-president and research director of Project Drawdown. Project Drawdown is a worldwide research and communications initiative with a plan to reverse global warming based on 100 existing and emerging solutions. An independent European arm, Drawdown Europe, has … Continue reading “Global warming could be in reverse by 2050 if we take action now – Chad Frischmann”

Sea Life Recovered Surprisingly Rapidly at Impact Crater of Dino-Killing Asteroid

The Cretaceous/Paleogene mass extinction ended the reign of the dinosaursand wiped out 76% of species on Earth. It was caused by the impact of an asteroid in the southern Gulf of Mexico approximately 66 million years ago, forming the Chicxulub impact crater. Although the asteroid killed off species, new research has found that the crater it left behind was home to sea life less than a decade after impact, and it contained a thriving ecosystem within 30,000 years. A research team led by University … Continue reading “Sea Life Recovered Surprisingly Rapidly at Impact Crater of Dino-Killing Asteroid”

Scientists wanted to understand how baobab trees live for thousands of years. Then the ancient trees started dying.

Baobabs are an iconic part of the sun-Saharan landscape in Africa. Wielding gnarled branches that can spiral up to nearly 100 feet into the air, and with bloated trunks that boast an average of 65 feet in diameter, the baobab is a vital part of the region’s ecology and a celebrated staple Africa’s culture. And like most celebrated parts of the natural world, the baobab suddenly finds itself threatened in modern times. The oldest African baobabs (between 1,100 and 2,500 years old) are … Continue reading “Scientists wanted to understand how baobab trees live for thousands of years.
