environmental science

Sergey Nizkorodov, UCI professor of Chemistry (left), and atmospheric chemist Christian George of the National Center for Scientific Research at the University of Lyon, France, led a project to derive a new understanding of how hydroxide molecules help clear the atmosphere of human-emitted pollutants and greenhouse gases.

Scientists discover a way Earth’s atmosphere cleans itself

Dartmouth researchers say a spike in home runs since 2010 is partly due to warmer, thinner air caused by global warming. Wrigley Field in Chicago is projected to be the most affected stadium in the future. (Photo by Mike Janes/Four Seam Images via AP)

Spike in major league home runs tied to climate change

Plant being recorded

Stressed plants emit airborne sounds that can be detected from over a meter away

More precise than other methane-sensing satellites, MethaneSAT will allow scientists to track emissions to their sources and provide key data for reduction efforts. It is scheduled to launch early next year. Courtesy of Steven Wofsy

Methane-tracking satellite may be fastest way to slow climate change

Satellite data from 30 years of observations is helping researchers tease apart natural and human-caused drivers of sea level rise. The information will help planners in regions like New Orleans, Louisiana, along the U.S. Gulf Coast to prepare for the future. Credit: NASA

It’s complicated: Scientists warn of many dangerous climate feedback loops

Redwood forests such as this one in California's Humboldt County are key components of the state's climate change mitigation efforts, but UCI researchers suggest that ongoing greenhouse gas emissions may limit the ability of trees to remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere.
