The absence of monsoon rains at the source of the Nile was the cause of migration and the decline of entire settlements in the late Roman province of Egypt. This demographic development was first compared with environmental data by the professor of ancient history, Sabine Hübner from the University of Basel. This led to a […]
Hundreds of coastal airports are at risk of flooding due to climate change – ScienceDaily
Even a modest rise in sea level, triggered by rising global temperatures, would bring 100 airports below mean sea level by 2100, according to a new study. Scientists from Newcastle University modeled the risk of flight routes being disrupted as a result of the increasing risk of flooding caused by rising sea levels. Publication of […]

A one-off 1000 year warming event has already been changed to occur once every 15 years due to previous human activity – ScienceDaily
August 2020 set new record high temperatures (SST) in the northwestern Pacific and on the coasts of Japan. A new study by the National Institute for Environmental Studies (NIES) found that this warming is impossible without human-made climate changes. The northwest Pacific ocean surface gets seasonally warm in August each year. However, it was unprecedentedly […]
Conifers can be green due to a photosynthetic abbreviation – ScienceDaily
How can conifers, which are used as Christmas trees, for example, keep their green needles through the boreal winter when most of the trees shed their leaves? Science hasn't answered this question well, but now an international team of scientists, including researchers from Umeå University, have found that an abbreviation in the photosynthetic machinery enables […]
