Nitrate levels in soil suggest extreme weather events due to climate change are accelerating groundwater contamination
Researchers at the University of California, Davis will insert devices underground that continuously collect water samples, providing real-time data on the movement of nitrate pollutants. Credit: Isaya Kisekka / UC Davis Extreme weather events caused by climate change, such as droughts and heavy rains, can increase the risk of nitrates from fertilizers entering groundwater, according to a recent study by…

Researchers discover that extreme El Niño events cause short-term CO₂ fluctuations
Sensitivity of AGR to tropical MAT (γT) over a 25-year moving window from 1959 to 2020 (see Materials and Methods). Credit: Science Advances (2024). DOI: 10.1126/sciadv.adl6155 Recent research challenges previous assumptions about the relationship between atmospheric carbon dioxide and tropical temperatures. Between 1959 and 2011, atmospheric COâ‚‚ content responded twice as strongly to temperatures in the tropics than before. This…
