Glaciers are important indicators of climate change. A recent study published in the leading journal Science shows that glaciers in the tropical Andes have now retreated further than at any other time in the entire Holocene – which covers the whole history of human civilisation since the invention of agriculture. These findings are likely to resonate beyond the scientific community, as they strongly support the lawsuit filed by a Peruvian farmer against the energy company RWE, which has re
Climate models are the main tool climate scientists use to predict how Earth will respond to more heat-trapping pollutants in the atmosphere. But what exactly is a climate model? Lets start off easy by breaking down the phrase climate model.” The climate is simply the weather averaged over a long period of time. A model in this case is a physical approximation of a complex system.
On March 19, the PennEnvironment Research & Policy Center released its newest report, Wildlife Corridors: How Reconnecting Habitat Is Protecting Pennsylvanias Native Species , on the successes so far with wildlife corridors. The report details how state agencies and conservation groups are preserving and reconnecting wildlife habitats in Pennsylvania using a wide variety of innovative strategies including engineered crossings, travel corridors and habitat stepping stones.

As the impacts of climate change and other threats mount, conservationists are racing to preserve endangered plant species in botanical garden metacollections in the hope of eventually returning them to the wild. But what happens when there is no suitable habitat to return them to?
An analysis of peat layers at the bottom of the North Sea shows how fast sea level rose during the end of the last ice age, when Earth was warming at a similar rate as today. By Bob Berwyn A new analysis of ancient layers of peat at the bottom of the North Sea will help scientists more accurately project how much sea level will rise in the coming decades and centuries.
On March 19, Natural Lands announced the preservation of two wooded properties that were transferred to state agencies. They provide critical habitat for migratory songbirds and other wildlife. The acreage will now be open to the public for visitation and recreation and will never be developed. The first property is a nearly 139-acre forested tract in both Heidelberg Township, Lebanon County, and Elizabeth Township, Lancaster County.

Bioclimatic envelope models have been used as a tool to map the climate conditions under which specific habitats occur.
By Matthew Carroll, Penn State News Moving from fossil fuels to renewable energy sources like wind and solar will require better ways to store energy for use when the sun is not shining or the wind is not blowing. A new study by researchers at Penn State found that taking advantage of natural geothermal heat in depleted oil and gas wells can improve the efficiency of one proposed energy storage solution: compressed-air energy storage (CAES).
By Natalie Marioni, Master Watershed Stewards Coordinator, Cumberland, Franklin Counties The Master Watershed Steward Program was established to strengthen local capacity for managing and protecting watersheds, streams, and rivers by educating and empowering volunteers across Pennsylvania.
