Warming, acidification, dropping oxygen levels threaten Europe’s seas
The EEA briefing ‘How climate change impacts marine life’ summarises how increasing levels of greenhouse gas emissions in the atmosphere are affecting marine ecosystems in Europe. Supporting the review of the EU...
Oceans Losing Oxygen at Breathtaking Speeds
Ocean dead zones quadrupled in size since 1950, while low oxygen sites around the world increased tenfold, threatening large swaths of marine life, scientists warned in a study released on Friday.
"Major extinction...
Urbanization: The Historical Cause of Low Oxygen Conditions in European Lakes
A new study shows that hypoxia, i.e. low oxygen conditions, in European lakes started in 1850, becoming more widespread after 1900, long before the use of chemical fertilizers and climate change. A...
The Earth Is Leaking Oxygen from Its Atmosphere, and We Can’t Figure Out Why
In case your week was going well so far, we’re here to bring you calmly crashing back down to Earth again.
Now we’ve been reassured that this news is nothing to lose sleep...
Humble moss helped create our oxygen-rich atmosphere
The evolution of the first land plants including mosses may explain a long-standing mystery of how Earth's atmosphere became enriched with oxygen, according to an international study led by the University of...
The Role of Hydrogen and Iron in an Innovative Solution for Solar Energy Storage
Although solar energy currently available in many countries could meet a significant portion of electricity needs, certain challenges are associated with this energy source. Solar energy is not consistently available. For example,...
Giant Clams – Master Engineers of Solar Energy and Efficiency
It is well known that answers to many questions can often be found in nature. Have you ever heard that there are natural solar systems that can serve as examples of efficient...
From Grass to Electricity with the Help of Digesters
Over the years, growing dominant crops on land can lead to various environmental consequences, such as loss of biodiversity, soil erosion, and greenhouse gas emissions. Therefore, farmers are advised to revert parts...
Greenpeace Studies Vulnerable Marine Mammals in Targeted Deep Sea Mining Area
As the Norwegian government is moving forward with the opening of Arctic waters to deep sea mining exploration, Greenpeace Nordic and Greenpeace Germany set sail with a group of scientists and campaigners...
The role of development finance institutions in energy transitions
Development finance institutions (DFIs) account for only around 1 percent of total financing for energy sector investment, but their importance goes well beyond this relatively small share. DFIs are specialised financial institutions...
Artificial Womb for the Recovery of Endangered Shark Species
I have always thought of scientists as real-life wizards, making possible what was once only in the realm of science fiction. This belief was reaffirmed by researchers at the Okinawa Churaumi Aquarium,...
Global coal demand is set to remain broadly flat through 2025
Global coal demand is set to remain broadly unchanged in both 2024 and 2025 as surging electricity demand in some major economies offsets the impacts of a gradual recovery in hydropower and...

In the face of increasing threats to coral ecosystems and the recent announcement of a fourth global coral bleaching event, the Global Fund for Coral Reefs (GFCR) Executive Board has announced over...
Algae Offer Great Potential for Energy Production
The idea that algae can be used for the production of green energy is not new, and numerous universities have presented their concepts of facilities that generate electricity using these organisms.
Among them...
Why is Compost Important, and How to Make Compost?
Disseminating environmental awareness has made popular numerous activities and habits that we as a society once might have been ashamed of or thought should not occupy a place in our lives. Although...
Serbian Scientists in the Fight for Cleaner air and Greater Energy Efficiency
In Western Balkan countries, thermal power plants are the leading electricity producers, accounting for about 54 per cent of the total energy production. At the same time, thermal power plants are the...
