Mashup Score: 2Yellowstone Lake ice cover unchanged despite warming climate - 1 month(s) ago
While most lakes around the world are experiencing shorter durations of ice cover, the length of time that Yellowstone Lake is covered by ice each year has not changed in the past century, possibly due to increased snowfall.

Mashup Score: 2A natural touch for coastal defense - 2 month(s) ago
Common “hard” coastal defenses, like concrete sea walls, might struggle to keep up with increasing climate risks. A new study shows that combining them with nature-based solutions could, in some contexts, create defenses which are better able to adapt. Researchers reviewed 304 academic articles on the performance of coastal defenses around the world, including: natural environments; soft measures (which support or enrich nature); hard measures (such as concrete sea walls); and hybrids of the aforementioned. Soft and hybrid measures turned out to be more cost-effective than hard measures, and hybrid measures provided the highest hazard reduction overall in low-risk areas. Although their comparative performance during extreme events that pose a high risk is not clear due to lack of data, these results still support the careful inclusion of nature-based solutions to help protect, support and enrich coastal communities.

Every year, millions of lesser flamingos flock to a few small soda lakes in East Africa. But the bright pink birds’ numbers are falling sharply, a decline researchers have now linked to a paradoxical effect of #ClimateChange. https://t.co/vcVfEm0yjq
