The mutual research, conducted by the Professor University of Tasmania from Environmental Change Biology Department – David Bowman and a team of researchers from the University of Idaho […]
A High-Level Whistleblower Alleged NOAA for Manipulating Climate Change Data
Debates regarding climate change have taken a speedy and unexpected twist after the allegation brought up by a high-level Whistleblower against NOAA for manipulating climate change data. The time-honored debate on climate change went nuclear on Sunday over a hotheaded allegation brought up by a Whistleblower stating that the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Association (NOAA) […]
‘Weed-Like’ Venomous Algae Is Butchering Australia’s Iconic Great Barrier Reef Corals
The annihilation of Australia’s iconic Great Barrier Reef has ended up being the biggest concerns for the ecologists across the world. While earlier, excessive bleaching is believed to be the culprit behind the damage of coral reefs, a new study has come up with a surprising revelation. The research conducted by a team of scientists […]
The Oceanic Whitetip Shark Species Is Inching Closer to Extinction
The declining status of Oceanic Whitetip Sharks has forced the US government to declare it as an endangered aquatic species. The falling status of oceanic whitetip shark in the wild has warranted its listing as ‘threatened’ under the Endangered Species Act – an official wing of the US’s federal government.

Earth orbital variations and sea ice formations: Key to ice age periodicity
Using computer simulations, the scientists have discovered a further truth to the cyclic nature of the ice and glacial age on earth. The 100000-year cycle of extended cold periods through the history where the average temperature across the globe drops and in the Polar Regions, the seas ice further declines the ambient conditions required for sustaining […]
