In recent decades temperature elevation has been the focus of many studies on climate change, including effects on planktonic communities, but few studies have examined the effects of increased water color ("brownification"). Since these changes are likely to occur simultaneously, it is important to investigate their potential interactive effects. Accordingly, we performed a mesocosm experiment where we combined a 3°C increase in temperature with a doubling in water color to study how these factors affect zooplankton.

High-speed affordable broadband connectivity to the Internet is essential to modern society, offering widely recognized economic and social benefits.

A major steel plant on the east coast of Sweden has recently installed a new rolling mill. In conjunction with this, they've introduced the principle of 100% recycling of both the process water and slag resulting from the cooling process. As part of their effort to implement this, they've installed a DynaSand filtration plant.

Geoengineering efforts to bring oxygen into the deep Baltic should be abandoned, says Daniel J. Conley.

To the world’s military leaders, the debate over climate change is long over. They are preparing for a new kind of Cold War in the Arctic, anticipating that rising temperatures there will open up a treasure trove of resources, long-dreamed-of sea lanes and a slew of potential conflicts.

By Arctic standards, the region is already buzzing with military activity, and experts believe that will increase significantly in the years ahead. Last month, Norway wrapped up one of the largest Arctic manoeuvres ever — Exercise Cold Response — with 16,300 troops from 14 countries training on the ice for everything from high intensity warfare to terror threats.

The US government, through the United States Agency for International Development (USAID), on Monday committed $ 40 million grant over the next five years to support the US$ 7.6 billion health sect
