Geoengineering to Reduce Climate Change May Severely Impact Rainfall Patterns

As our climate changes, geoengineering is becoming an option that seems more and more attractive. But is this process really an option? Scientists have discovered that reducing the amount of sunlight reaching the planet's surface through this technique may not undo climate change after all and may i...

Global Land Use Map Reveals New Insights into Environmental Degradation

Humans use land in different ways. Some land is used for buildings while other land is used for farming. Still other locations are preserved as National parks. Now, though, scientists have created a global map the reveals the impacts of land use. This, in turn, could inform future decisions as to wh...
