Hurricanes’ Deep Water Impact: Climate Effects Reaching Far and Wide

Credit: Unsplash.Scientists from the Scripps Institution of Oceanography at the University of California, along with a colleague from Brandeis University and two from Oregon State University, have discovered proof that typhoons/hurricanes can force warm water into the depths of the ocean, transporting it to distant locations.Their findings, posted in the Proceedings of the National Academy...

Research Suggests Cleaner Air May Be Possible with a Cold Catalytic Converter

Credit: PexelsThe exhaust system of a car includes a component known as a three-way catalytic converter, which is comprised of costly materials and functions optimally within a specific temperature range of several hundred degrees Celsius.As described in a journal article in Science, a team of scientists led by Emiel Hensen has demonstrated that modifying...

Measuring Greenhouse Gas Emissions From Ponds Enhances Climate Forecasting

Credit: Earth.Emissions of greenhouse gases from shallow lakes and ponds are significant, but the variations in emissions from these systems are not well understood. To address this knowledge gap, a recent study led by Cornell University examined methane and carbon dioxide emissions from 30 small lakes and ponds in temperate regions of Europe and...

Solar Dish Produces Hydrogen and Oxygen and Heat

The pivotal component in EPFL's innovative solar hydrogen reactor is the parabolic dish.EPFL engineers have successfully constructed and examined a solar reactor capable of harnessing sunlight and water to produce hydrogen gas. This system not only exhibits exceptional efficiency in hydrogen generation but also effectively utilizes the byproducts of oxygen and heat.Hydrogen has a...

Ocean Cleanup Stops The Flow of the Indonesian River Rubbish

By the conclusion of 2023, a counterpart of the Interceptor Original, as demonstrated in its operational state at Ballona Creek in California, will be dispatched to the Cisadane River in Indonesia.While the Ocean Cleanup is primarily recognized for its use of large garbage collectors in the Great Pacific Garbage Patch, it has also taken...

A Green Living Environment Does Not Protect Children Against Eczema

The title "Early-life environment and the risk of eczema at 2 years—Meta-analyses of six Finnish birth cohorts" refers to a study that used data from six Finnish birth cohorts to investigate the relationship between early-life environmental factors and the development of eczema in children by the age of two years. The study conducted meta-analyses of...

The Green Hydrogen Time, as a Renewable Energy Sources

All we are longing for is a less polluted environment. Credit Pexels.Green hydrogen is a form of hydrogen produced using renewable energy sources, such as wind or solar power, rather than fossil fuels. It is considered a promising solution for reducing greenhouse gas emissions and achieving a more sustainable energy future.Green hydrogen is...

Bangladesh Develops Innovations to Fight Climate Change
