[ad_1] FP trend3 December 2020 14:53:15 IST Scientists claimed that the most habitable region of Mars would be several miles below the planet’s surface and that life was possible due to the subterranean melting of thick sheets of ice from geothermal heat. Speaking on the study, lead author Lujendra Ojha …

[ad_1] While scientists have long believed that higher temperatures will cause a delay in fall, a new study suggests that, by contrast, tree leaves tend to die and fall off earlier. In question: the trees would be “satiated” in CO2 Faster. Bad news questioning the carbon capture capacity of trees. …

[ad_1] Methane, the main component of natural gas, is the cleanest fuel of all fossil fuels, but when it is released into the atmosphere it is a much more potent greenhouse gas than carbon dioxide. According to some estimates, the seafloor methane contained in ice formations along the continental fringes …

[ad_1] Electron microscope image of a densely packed droplet of hydrogen-producing algal cells. Scale bar, 10 micrometers. Prof Xin Huang, Harbin Institute of Technology Scientists have built tiny droplet-based microbial factories that produce hydrogen, instead of oxygen, when exposed to daylight in the air. The results of the international research …

[ad_1] New research has found that water beneath glaciers in Antarctica and Greenland flows into nearby oceans, carrying elements that could affect how life grows and thrives. The study, published today in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, found that subglacial lakes in Antarctica and streams emerging from …

[ad_1] Sowing the atmosphere with aerosols would not prevent high concentrations of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere from destabilizing low clouds, opening the door to extreme warming Pumping aerosols into the atmosphere to reflect sunlight, thereby cooling the Earth, is a next-generation method of dealing with climate change. According to …

[ad_1] Research from Curtin University has shed new light on when one of the largest mass extinction events on Earth occurred, which gives new meaning to what killed Triassic life and allowed for the ecological expansion of dinosaurs in the Jurassic period. The research, published in the prestigious PNAS journal, …

[ad_1] Its mission is to understand the links between a planet’s chemistry and its environment by plotting approximately 1,000 known planets outside our Solar System, providing scientists with a complete picture of what exoplanets are made of, how they formed and how they formed. will evolve. The Atmospheric Remote-sensing Infrared …
