A survey of philosophers finds they broadly agree with economists on the best way of valuing the environment of the future in policy decisions made now – although for different reasons.
A 1987 global deal to protect the ozone layer is delaying the first ice-free Arctic summer by up to 15 years, new research shows.
Current climate policies will leave more than a fifth of humanity exposed to dangerously hot temperatures by 2100, new research suggests.
Small-scale wildlife surveys can reveal the health of entire ecosystems, new research shows.
A 2022 study, conducted by Associate Professor Dr. Kyriaki Noussia, Dr. Catherine Caine and Whitney Richardson, emphasizes the need for "robust" amendments to insurance law and international environmental law to facilitate legal carbon capture, utilization and storage (CCUS) in the fight against global warming.
Taxing corporations and consumers for the amount of carbon emissions they generate can be a great way to deal with climate change –
Faced with COVID-19 travel constraints, Julien Riel-Salvatore got creative.
Fungi, specifically those that are “mycorrhizal,” are natural allies of the forest because they improve tree nutrient acquisition.
There should be greater investment in using a wider group of experts to make decisions about how the landscape is managed if the UK is to reach climate targets such as net zero, a new report warns.
More than 70 million tons of carbon were prevented from being released into the atmosphere under a deforestation emissions reduction scheme in Indonesia – but researchers point out this is only 3 per cent of the total required by Indonesia’s Nationally Defined Contribution (NDC) under the Paris Agreement.
The world’s ocean is steadily losing its year-to-year memory due to global warming, according to a study published in Science Advances co-authored by a University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa atmospheric scientist.
Rainfall map accuracy is vital in climate and hydraulic modeling and supports environmental management decision making, water resource planning and weather forecasting.
As carbon dioxide emissions have increased in the atmosphere, the ocean has absorbed a greater amount of carbon according to a publication co-authored by University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa oceanography Professor Christopher Sabine and selected as a 2021 Outstanding Scientific Paper by NOAA’s Oceanic and Atmospheric Research.
A team of researchers have spent years taming mysterious marine microbes from the open ocean to grow in a lab, to investigate their feeding habits.
An asteroid bigger than the Mānoa campus at the University of Hawaiʻi, discovered by a UH Institute for Astronomy (IfA) telescope atop Haleakalā, Maui, is only the second-known object of its kind ever found.
The coexistence of diverse microbes in the open ocean is made possible by staggering the timing of nutrient uptake, according to a study published in Nature Ecology and Evolution by a group of researchers from 13 institutions, including the University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa.
Everything in our universe moves, but the timescales needed to see motion are often vastly greater than human lifetimes.
Coral reefs are hotspots of biodiversity and are amazingly productive with a vast number of organisms interacting simultaneously.
Native marine macroalgae, also known as limu (seaweed), thrive in environments created by natural groundwater seeps, specifically benefiting from the combined effects of enhanced nutrients despite lowered salinity levels, according to a review published by a team of University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa researchers.
Local fisheries and their associated biodiversity benefit from the transfer of larvae between reefs, with some benefitting more than others, prompting recommendations to protect larval connectivity among coral reefs.
