Unsere Erde bildet ein empfindliches Biotop, dessen Gleichgewicht zu bewahren zur wichtigsten Aufgabe der heutigen Menschheit geworden ist – das ist durch die katastrophalen Folgen des Klimawandels unabweisbar geworden. Unser Heimatplanet selbst muss als ein lebendiger Organismus verstanden werden.
Improved latitudinal carbon budgets from global airborne surveys
We show that large scale CO2patterns measured by global airborne surveys are able to discriminate among a collection of diverse atmospheric models that estimate...
NASA spots giant ocean swell that could signal El Niño’s return
NASA satellites have detected a vast pulse of warm water reaching the coast of South America, signaling that El Niño is likely developing. The...
Where do migrants live, and where were they born?
An interactive tool that helps us see where migrants were born, and where they live now. In 2024, around 280 million people lived in...
Large CO2 seeps and hydrate field on the seafloor offshore Mayotte Island
Carbon dioxide hydrates on the seafloor are sustained by the venting of liquid CO2 associated with volcanic activity near Mayotte Island, according to observations...
Misattributed biospheric carbon sink to the Three-North Program in the Taklamakan Desert may lead to an impractical policy: A commentary
Afforestation is a widely accepted practice to build terrestrial carbon sinks, but its applications are limited by climatic conditions. Recently, Noor et al. (2026)...
Deep mantle plume origin of oceanic intraplate volcanism
Most oceanic intraplate volcanism, including seamounts far from mantle hotspots, originates from deep-rooted mantle plumes, according to a data-constrained numerical simulation of the thermal...
Dinosaur-killing asteroid impact site stayed hot for millions of years
Drill cores at the impact site of the Chicxulub asteroid show evidence that, alongside widespread destruction, the collision created a vast underground ecosystem filled...
Staaten sagen 3,4 Mrd. € für Klimaanpassung, Biodiversität und Wassersicherheit zu
EUROnews -
Vertreter aus 186 Staaten haben sich auf den Global Environment Facility-Fonds geeinigt, der künftig Umweltprojekte in 144 Ländern unterstützt - Die Global Environment Facility...
From flooding to ‘greening’ – how ocean waves contribute to the seasonal melting of Antarctic sea ice
A possible “missing link” in the drivers of Antarctic sea-ice melt has been identified. Australian Antarctic Program scientists hypothesise that ocean waves cause surface...
Amazon deforestation reduces precipitation and soybean yields across Southern Brazil
Agricultural expansion typically involves clearing forests to create new croplands, but this approach may be self-defeating. We demonstrate that Amazon deforestation substantially reduces crop...
