Yes, blood—specifically the part of hemoglobin that transports oxygen—significantly improves lithium-oxygen battery efficiency.
How Much Do Wetlands Reduce Property Damage During Hurricanes?
A Collaborative Study with the Insurance Industry Four years ago this month, Hurricane Sandy devastated much of the US Atlantic […]
Pika Quest
Meet the American pika; an adorable relative of the rabbit that hides high in the “sky islands” of mountain slopes. Adapted to a cold environment, these furry mammals are at risk in a warming world.
Energy Sprawl is the Largest Driver of Land Use Change in the U.S.
The development of new land area required for energy production is, and will likely continue to be, the largest driver of land use change in the U.S. for the foreseeable future.
Migration in Motion: Visualizing Species Movements Due to Climate Change
Climate change is already forcing species to migrate to cooler climates, and Conservancy scientists are mapping these predicted migrations.
Progress in the Search for Better Battery Tech
A new paper by Conservancy NatureNet Science Fellow Won-Hee Ryu may ultimately help scientists overcome one of the most intractable technological obstacles to wholesale adoption of clean energy.
Technology to the Rescue for Foresters in the Thick of It
Managing forests to remain resilient through wildfire, drought, and forest pests in a changing climate is complicated. New technology is helping forest managers to restore forests to a healthy mix of spatial diversity.
Maintaining Healthy Forests Takes More than Planting Trees
Conservationists should plant more trees, but that’s not the whole story. America’s forests must be resilient to survive wildfires and invading forest pests in a changing climate.
A Dirty Solution to Cleaning the Atmosphere
Soils have twice as much carbon as the atmosphere. Which means there’s a lot of interest in figuring out if soil can hold even more carbon—to help fight climate change.
R&D for a Future Powered by Clean Energy
Building a Better Battery: NatureNet Science Fellow makes a breakthrough in the effort to build cost-effective and energy-efficient ways to store clean energy on the world's power grids.
