Research & science An assessment of the alignment of the COP28 energy pledges with the Paris Agreement goals COP28 marked the first time that climate negotiations at the highest level, i.e. an official conference of the parties’ (COPs) decision, indicated clear energy-related milestones for urgent climate action by adopting specific renewable energy and energy efficiency targets for 2030, and phasing down fossil fuels by 2050. These milestones are meant to serve as yardsticks to guide the path towards… Environmental Research Letters (IOP) · 22 Jul 2026 Research & science Asymmetry of El Niño and La Niña precipitation diversity El Niño–Southern Oscillation (ENSO) precipitation diversity exhibits pronounced phase-dependent asymmetry over the tropical Pacific. Observations indicate enhanced precipitation diversity over the western North Pacific during La Niña and over the equatorial central Pacific during El Niño. This asymmetry is associated with the positively skewed distribution and intensified extremes of tropical p… Environmental Research Letters (IOP) · 22 Jul 2026 Research & science Expansion versus intensification: oxygen-volume distribution shapes contrasting OMZ responses to deoxygenation Ocean deoxygenation is driving widespread changes in major oxygen minimum zones (OMZs), yet the mechanisms underlying their contrasting responses to similar forcing remain poorly understood. Here, we examine observed changes from 1965 to 2022 across six major OMZs using a water-mass transformation framework that quantifies the redistribution of ocean volume in oxygen space. We find that intense… Environmental Research Letters (IOP) · 22 Jul 2026 Research & science Long-term energy security strategy in an era of new and compounding risk Environmental Research Letters (IOP) · 22 Jul 2026 Research & science Large-scale circulation-conditioned attribution of the historic 2024 Spanish extreme precipitation On 29 October 2024, Turís, Spain, recorded an unprecedented 24 h precipitation total of 771 mm, triggering one of the deadliest floods in Europe since 1900. Although recent attribution studies demonstrated that anthropogenic warming may have contributed to the event, the extent to which atmospheric circulation variability shaped its exceptional magnitude remains unclear. Using multi-source high… Environmental Research Letters (IOP) · 22 Jul 2026 Research & science Small-scale farmers critical to curbing deforestation linked to forest-risk commodities Deforestation remains a critical challenge despite increasing global attention. Voluntary and market-based initiatives have proven insufficient to reverse this trend. In response, the European Union introduced the Deforestation Regulation (EUDR), requiring information for several forest-risk commodities (e.g. palm oil, soy, rubber, cocoa, and coffee) to enforce deforestation-free standards acro… Environmental Research Letters (IOP) · 22 Jul 2026 Research & science Alarm over hospital lung admissions for children in England’s poorest postcodes - UCL | University College London UCL News · 22 Jul 2026 Research & science The impact of infrequent smoking after quitting - UCL | University College London UCL News · 22 Jul 2026 Research & science Patchy warnings and outdated plans left Spanish wildfire victims to fend for themselves - UCL | University College London UCL News · 22 Jul 2026 Research & science CRISPR–Cas regulates expression of embedded anti-phage defence systems - Nature Nature subject feed — Environmental Sciences · 22 Jul 2026 Research & science Precise DNA base editing using AlphaFold3-based contact modelling - Nature Nature subject feed — Environmental Sciences · 22 Jul 2026 Research & science New Stanford lab asks, what could catch us off guard? - Stanford Report Stanford Report · 22 Jul 2026 Council news Solina, 27 Westgate Street, Cardiff, CF10 1DD licensing application - Cardiff Council Cardiff Council · 22 Jul 2026 Council news Local Growth Fund - Cardiff Council Cardiff Council · 22 Jul 2026 Policy & government Making Time for Science & Social Studies - State of Michigan (.gov) Michigan EGLE · 22 Jul 2026 Council news Job alerts criteria - Peterborough City Council Peterborough Council · 22 Jul 2026 Research & science NC State To Lead National Effort To Accelerate Chemistry, Materials Research North Carolina State University has been awarded a four-year, $20 million award from the National Science Foundation to leverage advances in artificial intelligence, robotics and autonomous labs to accelerate the pace of scientific discovery in chemistry and materials science.
