Ecology, The Environment and Conservation

This complex theme deals primarily with interactions between organisms and the environmental factors that impact them, but to a greater extent between individual inanimate environmental factors.

innovations-report offers informative reports and articles on topics such as climate protection, landscape conservation, ecological systems, wildlife and nature parks and ecosystem efficiency and balance.

Warmer climate causing acidification of the Arctic Ocean

Climate change is causing the Arctic Ocean’s sea ice to melt away. When the polar ocean loses its cover of sea ice, carbon dioxide uptake increases disrupting the food web…

Future emissions from ‘country of permafrost’ significant

… must be factored into global climate targets. By the end of this century, permafrost in the rapidly warming Arctic will likely emit as much carbon dioxide and methane into…

New dataset reveals biological “treasure trove” of Arctic Ocean

A major new project will help benchmark biodiversity change in the Arctic Ocean and guide conservation efforts by identifying unique species and assessing their extinction risk. Developed by an international…

An ultrafine network for rivers

How are species richness and the characteristics of running waters related worldwide? This question is being addressed by a team led by IGB scientist Sami Domisch. The researchers have developed…

The future of marine biodiversity under global warming

Human-induced climate change has already had a major impact on Earth’s biodiversity. The habitat of many species – including those in the oceans – Is disappearing, and invasive species are…

On-site reactors could affordably turn CO2 into valuable chemicals

New technology developed at the University of Waterloo could make a significant difference in the fight against climate change by affordably converting harmful carbon dioxide (CO2) into fuels and other…
