Crab-dug tunnels boost methane-eating microbes in coastal wetlands, study finds
Wetlands are a significant producer of methane, a greenhouse gas more potent than carbon dioxide. Yet not all of it escapes into the atmosphere. One reason is crabs. A study published in the journal Environmental Science & Technology has shown that crab burrows can substantially increase natural processes that consume methane before it reaches the atmosphere.

Deforestation decline is not driven by corporate commitments
Tropical forests are essential for biodiversity, climate regulation and carbon storage. Yet they continue to disappear at an alarming rate. Many companies have adopted zero-deforestation commitments to reduce this trend. But it is crucial to determine how effective these commitments are.

As snowpack shrinks, Sierra Nevada mountain ponds undergo dramatic change
On a summer afternoon in the Sierra Nevada, a mountain pond can look calm and still, reflecting granite peaks and alpine sky. But beneath the surface, these small, shallow waters are anything but stable. In fact, they are among the most thermally variable aquatic ecosystems on Earth, with water temperatures sometimes swinging more than 20°C (36°F) in a single day. According to new research publ…

Does teleworking reduce carbon emissions? It depends on how you do it
Teleworking—including working from home, coworking or working from other third places—can reduce carbon emissions by eliminating commutes. But if you're not careful, this benefit will be offset by the carbon cost of work-related housing space, according to a study published in PLOS Climate by Jana Z'Rotz of Lucerne University of Applied Sciences and Arts, Switzerland, and colleagues.

Climate impact research needs more real-world data, study suggests
European cities are experimenting with hundreds of climate solutions, from green roofs to electric vehicles, in hopes of adapting to the warmer world around us. But despite a growing body of research on these solutions, we still have only a limited idea of what actually works in practice. That's according to a study published today in Environmental Research Letters, coauthored by researchers at…

NASA's Perseverance rover reads record of ancient Mars impacts
NASA's Perseverance Mars rover has uncovered evidence that a 245-foot-thick (75-meter-thick) stack of ancient rock on the rim of Jezero Crater was built by repeated asteroid impacts. Referred to as the "Broom Point member" by the rover's science team, this sequence of layered bedrock is likely more than 3.9 billion years old, making it among the oldest terrain ever examined by a Mars rover.

Loneliness is making people sick. Doctors can’t cure it alone
While loneliness has been shown to harm one's health, framing it as a health issue shifts responsibility from society to healthcare, even though healthcare alone cannot rebuild social ties, a new University of Michigan study warns.
