A small forage fish should command greater notice, researchers say
A slender little fish called the sand lance plays a big role as ‘a quintessential forage fish’ for puffins, terns and other seabirds, humpback whales and other marine mammals, and even bigger fish such as Atlantic sturgeon, cod and bluefin tuna in the Gulf of Maine and northwest Atlantic Ocean. But scientists say right now they know far too little about its biology and populations to inform ‘relevant management, climate adaptation and conservation efforts.’

International ozone treaty stops changes in Southern Hemisphere winds
(University of Colorado at Boulder) The Montreal Protocol of 1987 phased out production of ozone-destroying substances such as chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs). Beginning around 2000, concentrations of those chemicals in the stratosphere started to decline and the ozone hole began to recover. In this study, researchers have shown that around the year 2000, the circulation of the Southern Hemisphere also stopped expanding polewards — a pause or slight reversal of the earlier trends.

Antarctic glacier retreated 3 miles in 22 years, threatening global sea-level rise – USA TODAY
It’s getting warmer down at the bottom of the world. As the global climate heats up, some of the great ice sheets and glaciers in Antarctica are melting, a few of them rapidly. One, East Antarctica’s Denman glacier, has retreated nearly 3…
Earth Saved?: How Blocking out the Sun May Help Reduce Global Warming – The National Interest
Solar radiation management is a controversial and theoretical proposal for addressing some of the risks of climate change. The Conversation Africa’s Energy and Environment editor Samantha Spooner asked experts Asfawossen Asrat and Andy Parker about solar radiation management and the…
CLIMATE IMPACTS: NOAA warns of ‘widespread’ flooding in months ahead
As if a global pandemic weren’t enough, riverfront communities along the nation’s major waterways are bracing for what forecasters warn could be another near-record spring flood season for 2020.
