How Bronze Age Technology Could Help Solve Climate Crisis
TEHRAN (ANA)- Stanford research reveals that the cost-effective thermal properties of “firebricks” make them an ideal solution for energy storage, potentially accelerating the global transition to renewable energy at a low cost.
Billions of Crabs Suddenly Vanish in U.S. Alaska Likely Due to Climate Change
TEHRAN (ANA)- Alaska's snow crab fishing industry came to a standstill in 2022 after an alarming disappearance of the animals, and now scientists are increasingly confident that man-made climate change is to blame for an ecological shift that killed them off, according to a new study from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.
Research Offers Insights into Birds' Response to Global Environmental Changes
TEHRAN (ANA)- Birds living in stressful environments will push their fruit-eating abilities to the limit and up their calorie intake by eating the largest possible fruits that can easily fit in their beaks, new international research said.
Global Warming Changing Plants’ Pollination Patterns with Disastrous Consequences for Food Stability
TEHRAN (ANA)- A new study by researchers at the University of Texas at Arlington, the University of Nevada, Reno, and Virginia Tech reveals that climate change has led to reduced pollen production in plants and less pollen diversity, potentially threatening food production.
2023’s Record-Breaking Cold Contrasts Global Warming
TEHRAN (ANA)- A 2023 study documented unprecedented cold spells in Antarctica, contrasting sharply with global heat records and underscoring the complexity of climate patterns.
Global Temperature Surpasses 1.5 Degrees Celsius above Pre-Industrial Level for 12 Months
TEHRAN (ANA)- June 2024 marks the 12th consecutive month of global temperatures reaching 1.5 degrees Celsius above the pre-industrial (1850-1900) level, according to the European Union's Copernicus Climate Change Service.
Cosmic Event Rewrote Earth’s Climate History
TEHRAN (ANA)- New astrophysical research highlights a significant cosmic event two million years ago when the solar system passed through a dense interstellar cloud and this possibly altered Earth’s climate by exposing it to enhanced cosmic radiation, supported by increased isotopes found in geological records.
Iranian Scientists Make 1st Directional Wave Recorder
TEHRAN (ANA)- The first directional wave recorder was built in the National Research Institute of Oceanography and Atmospheric Sciences of Iran.
How Climate Change Is Bringing Pests to Your Doorstep
TEHRAN (ANA)- Rising global temperatures could lead to more widespread termite infestations, increasing damage costs beyond the current 40 billion USD per year, with researchers from Université libre de Bruxelles calling for immediate action to mitigate this threat.
Brazil's Deforestation Drops 11.6 Percent in 2023
TEHRAN (ANA)- Brazil lost 1,829,597 hectares of native vegetation in 2023, a decrease of 11.6 percent in deforestation compared to 2022, monitoring network MapBiomas said.
