Phys.orgWhen we hear that climate change is damaging natural environments, it conjures images of rising seas eroding coastlines, or heat waves bleaching the Great Barrier Reef. But what about deserts?
The VergeA high-stakes California ballot measure pitched as a fast track for "essential" infrastructure could wind up giving data center developers a loophole to evade public scrutiny, environmental advocates warn. Proposition 45 would shorten timelines for state-mandated environmental assessments for eligible projects and make it more difficult for residents to challenge those projects in court. Proponents say...

Phys.orgEnvironmental pollutants containing chlorine or bromine have been widely studied, but compounds containing both elements have remained largely unexplored. Researchers have now detected bromochloropyrene in industrial soils and harbor sediments, investigated its breakdown under simulated sunlight, and measured its activity through a biological receptor linked to toxic effects. The findings reveal distinct environmental and biological properties,...

Phys.orgPolynyas are one of Antarctica's great counterintuitive features: recurring areas of open water surrounded by vast expanses of sea ice. These unusual environments are hot spots for sea-ice production, ocean–atmosphere exchange and biological productivity. They are commonly maintained by powerful winds that push newly formed ice away from the coast, repeatedly exposing the ocean to the...
