Crop Tolerance to Herbicides through Artificial Evolution
The domestication of crops is a directed evolutionary process that has lasted for most of human history. It has allocated naturally occurring mutations that encode traits for higher production, better taste, and convenient cultivation. These traits can better manage...
Electrochemical Carbon Dioxide Reduction in Supercritical Carbon Dioxide is Cool
At standard temperature and pressure, CO2 exists as a gas. On cooling to -78.5°C, it becomes a solid called dry ice, which is a common refrigerant. At a critical temperature and pressure of 31.1°C and 72.9 atmospheres, respectively, CO2 becomes a supercritical fluid...
Assessing the Impact of Global Emission Reduction Commitments
Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs) outline national goals for greenhouse gas emission reductions.
Planning for Ecological Drought: Integrating Ecosystem Services and Vulnerability Assessment
As research recognizes the importance of ecological impacts of drought to natural and human communities, drought planning processes need to better incorporate ecological impacts.

Atmospheric Moisture Transport and Arctic Sea Ice Decline
Global transport of moisture its effect on Arctic Sea Ice Extent (SIE).
Global Carbon Dioxide Cooling
Carbon dioxide has been labelled as the main culprit driving global warming, but is now improving its reputation as an environmentally friendly refrigerant.
What Happens to Water When Forests are Thinned in Dry Regions?
Extended droughts, or droughts that are warmer or more frequent than they have been in the past, can have large consequences on water availability, forest productivity, and forest mortality.
Crowd Oil: Generating Fuel from Air-Conditioning
Researchers propose using air-conditioning and ventilation systems for decentralized production of carbon-neutral synthetic fuels.
