Greenland ice losses set to raise global sea levels by nearly a foot, new research shows | CNN Widespread ice losses from Greenland have locked in nearly a foot of global sea level rise in the near future -- and new research suggests there is no way to stop it, even if the world stopped releasing planet-heating emissions today.

Climate change: Record drought in U.S. West, sea level expected to rise a foot by 2050

Tue, 2022-02-15 17:57 — mike kraft
Western drought fueled by climate change is the worst in 1,200 years, scientists say Researchers estimated that 42% of the drought's severity can be attributed to human-caused climate change. Emma Newburger CNBC

Researchers Make Progress Toward High-Performing Water Desalination Membranes

Sat, 2021-01-02 12:47 — mike kraft

http://www.sci-news.com/othersciences/materials/high-performing-water-desalination-membranes-09209.html

Biological membranes can achieve remarkably high permeabilities while maintaining ideal selectivities by relying on homogeneous internal structures in the form of membrane proteins. In new research, a team of scientists led by Penn State University and the University of Texas at Austin applied such design strategies to desalination polyamide membranes.

Dr. Enrique Gomez, Dr. Manish Kumar and their colleagues from Iowa State University, Penn State University, the University of Texas at Austin, DuPont Water Solutions, and Dow Chemical Co. found that creating a uniform membrane density down to the nanoscale of billionths of a meter is crucial for maximizing the performance of reverse-osmosis, water-filtration membranes.

 ...America and the world are getting more frequent and bigger multibillion dollar tropical catastrophes like Hurricane Laura, which is menacing the U.S. Gulf Coast, because of a combination of increased coastal development, natural climate cycles, reductions in air pollution and man-made climate change, experts say.

Coastal Resilience - Grenada and St. Vincent and the Grenadines

Wed, 2017-03-15 23:59 — Kathy Gilbeaux

coastalresilience.org

Nature holds some of the world’s best and most practical solutions to climate change, solutions that keep nature and people healthy, safe, and secure.

The goal of this project is to work alongside the governments and communities of small island states to enhance their resilience to climate change by protecting, restoring, and managing marine and coastal ecosystems and strengthening local capacity for adaptation.
