Thu, 07 Sep 2023 13:03:21 EDT //www.koonmotors.com/releases/2023/09/230907130321.htm Stability inspection for West Antarctica shows: marine ice sheet is not destabilized yet, but possibly on a path to tipping //www.koonmotors.com/releases/2023/09/230907105813.htm Antarctica's vast ice masses seem far away, yet they store enough water to raise global sea levels by several meters. A team of experts has now provided the first systematic stability inspection of the ice sheet's current state. Their diagnosis: While they found no indication of irreversible, self-reinforcing retreat of the ice sheet in West Antarctica yet, global warming to date could already be enough to trigger the slow but certain loss of ice over the next hundreds to thousands of years. Thu, 07 Sep 2023 10:58:13 EDT //www.koonmotors.com/releases/2023/09/230907105813.htm Ag tech can cut billions of tons of greenhouse gas emissions //www.koonmotors.com/releases/2023/09/230906143446.htm As the Earth's human population grows, greenhouse gas emissions from the world's food system are on track to expand. A new study demonstrates that state-of-the-art agricultural technology and management can not only reduce that growth, but eliminate it altogether by generating net negative emissions -- reducing more greenhouse gas than food systems add. Wed, 06 Sep 2023 14:34:46 EDT //www.koonmotors.com/releases/2023/09/230906143446.htm Fossil spines reveal deep sea's past //www.koonmotors.com/releases/2023/09/230905202507.htm Right at the bottom of the deep sea, the first very simple forms of life on earth probably emerged a long time ago. Today, the deep sea is known for its bizarre fauna. Intensive research is being conducted into how the number of species living on the sea floor have changed in the meantime. Some theories say that the ecosystems of the deep sea have emerged again and again after multiple mass extinctions and oceanic upheavals. Today's life in the deep sea would thus be comparatively young in the history of the Earth. But there is increasing evidence that parts of this world are much older than previously thought. Tue, 05 Sep 2023 20:25:07 EDT //www.koonmotors.com/releases/2023/09/230905202507.htm Bit by bit, microplastics from tires are polluting our waterways //www.koonmotors.com/releases/2023/09/230905124943.htm Urban stormwater particles from tire wear were the most prevalent microplastic a new study has found. The study showed that in stormwater runoff during rain approximately 19 out of every 20 microplastics collected were tire wear particles with anywhere from 2 to 59 particles per liter of water. Tire rubber contains up to 2500 chemicals with the contaminants that leach from tires considered more toxic to bacteria and microalgae than other plastic polymers.

Mon, 04 Sep 2023 13:31:43 EDT //www.koonmotors.com/releases/2023/09/230904133143.htm Extreme El Niño weather saw South America's forest carbon sink switch off //www.koonmotors.com/releases/2023/09/230904133132.htm Tropical forests in South America lose their ability to absorb carbon from the atmosphere when conditions become exceptionally hot and dry, according to new research. For a long time, tropical forests have acted as a carbon sink, taking more carbon out of the air than they release into it, a process that has moderated the impact of climate change. But new research found that in 2015 -- 2016, when an El Niño climate event resulted in drought and the hottest temperatures ever recorded, South American forests were unable to function as a carbon sink. Mon, 04 Sep 2023 13:31:32 EDT //www.koonmotors.com/releases/2023/09/230904133132.htm Groundwater depletion rates in India could triple in coming decades as climate warms, study shows //www.koonmotors.com/releases/2023/09/230901143623.htm A new study finds that farmers in India have adapted to warming temperatures by intensifying the withdrawal of groundwater used for irrigation. If the trend continues, the rate of groundwater loss could triple by 2080, further threatening India's food and water security. Reduced water availability in India due to groundwater depletion and climate change could threaten the livelihoods of more than one-third of the country's 1.4 billion residents and has global implications. Fri, 01 Sep 2023 14:36:23 EDT //www.koonmotors.com/releases/2023/09/230901143623.htm New research explains 'Atlantification' of the Arctic Ocean //www.koonmotors.com/releases/2023/09/230901143618.htm New research by an international team of scientists explains what's behind a stalled trend in Arctic Ocean sea ice loss since 2007. The findings indicate that stronger declines in sea ice will occur when an atmospheric feature known as the Arctic dipole reverses itself in its recurring cycle. The many environmental responses to the Arctic dipole are described in a recent article. This analysis helps explain how North Atlantic water influences Arctic Ocean climate. Scientists call it Atlantification.

Wed, 30 Aug 2023 13:19:32 EDT //www.koonmotors.com/releases/2023/08/230830131932.htm Rare 14-ft smalltooth sand tiger shark washes up on Irish coast //www.koonmotors.com/releases/2023/08/230830131729.htm Scientists believe a huge 14ft smalltooth sand tiger shark, which washed up at Kilmore Quay, Co. Wexford, earlier this year, represents the first of its species to have been found in Ireland's waters. Two other individuals of the same species also washed up on the UK coastline, suggesting this species' geographic range has shifted. The scientists believe these rare finds may offer a window into the future, with more and more species traditionally confined to more tropical waters expected to visit Irish and British waters.

Tue, 29 Aug 2023 12:58:15 EDT //www.koonmotors.com/releases/2023/08/230829125815.htm Historic red tide event of 2020 fueled by plankton super swimmers //www.koonmotors.com/releases/2023/08/230828162410.htm A major red tide event occurred in waters off Southern California in the spring of 2020, resulting in dazzling displays of bioluminescence along the coast. Now, for the first time, a study has pinpointed how the plankton species Lingulodinium polyedra -- a dinoflagellate -- was able to create such an exceptionally dense bloom. The answer lies in dinoflagellates' remarkable ability to swim, which lends them a competitive advantage over other species of phytoplankton. Mon, 28 Aug 2023 16:24:10 EDT //www.koonmotors.com/releases/2023/08/230828162410.htm Past abrupt changes in North Atlantic Overturning have impacted the climate system across the globe //www.koonmotors.com/releases/2023/08/230828162328.htm 突然的气候变化影响降雨型erns worldwide in the past, especially in the tropical monsoon region, a new study shows. An international team of scientists used dripstones from globally distributed caves together with model simulations to analyze the global impacts of rapid Northern-Hemisphere temperature increases, the widely studied Dansgaard-Oeschger events, that repeatedly occurred during the last ice age. The comparison of stalagmite and model data shows in unprecedented detail how these abrupt changes and the associated modifications of the Atlantic overturning circulation, AMOC for short, have affected global atmospheric circulation. Mon, 28 Aug 2023 16:23:28 EDT //www.koonmotors.com/releases/2023/08/230828162328.htm Due to sea-ice retreat, zooplankton could remain in the deep longer //www.koonmotors.com/releases/2023/08/230828130358.htm Due to intensifying sea-ice melting in the Arctic, sunlight is now penetrating deeper and deeper into the ocean. Since marine zooplankton respond to the available light, this is also changing their behavior -- especially how the tiny organisms rise and fall within the water column. As an international team of researchers has now shown, in the future this could lead to more frequent food shortages for the zooplankton, and to negative effects for larger species including seals and whales.

Researchers produced new genetic data from 56 Central and Eastern European individuals from the Stone Age. 结婚,09年2023年8月13:06:54 EDT //www.koonmotors.com/releases/2023/08/230809130654.htm Measuring the extent of global droughts in unprecedented detail //www.koonmotors.com/releases/2023/08/230809130645.htm While some parts of the world suffer extreme heat and persistent drought, others are being flooded. Overall, continental water volumes vary so much over time that global sea levels fluctuate significantly too. By combining the hydrological model WaterGAP with GRACE satellite data, a team of geodesists have come up with a new set of data that shows how the total distribution of water over the Earth's land surfaces has changed over the past 20 years more accurately than ever before. 结婚,09年2023年8月13:06:45 EDT //www.koonmotors.com/releases/2023/08/230809130645.htm Land-sea relationship is major driver of coral reef health outcomes //www.koonmotors.com/releases/2023/08/230809130608.htm New research indicates that mitigating both local land and sea-based human impacts, especially in terms of pollutants and over-fishing, provides coral reef ecosystems with the best opportunity to persist under climate change. Along some highly populated areas on the shorelines of Hawai'i, wastewater pollution and urban runoff combine with fishing pressures to put immense stress on coral reefs. 结婚,09年2023年8月13:06:08 EDT //www.koonmotors.com/releases/2023/08/230809130608.htm Telecommunications cable used to track sea ice extent in the Arctic //www.koonmotors.com/releases/2023/08/230809130548.htm A telecommunications fiber optic cable deployed offshore of Oliktok Point, Alaska recorded ambient seismic noise that can be used to finely track the formation and retreat of sea ice in the area, researchers report. 结婚,09年2023年8月13:05:48 EDT //www.koonmotors.com/releases/2023/08/230809130548.htm An early warning system for joint heat and ozone extremes in China //www.koonmotors.com/releases/2023/08/230809125816.htm Scientists have identified large-scale climate patterns that could be used to predict the co-occurrence of extreme heat and ozone days in China months before they occur.
