Peatlogy in tropical peatland: A new transdisciplinary science

Written by

an innovative transdisciplinary peatland science – Peatlogy

The Earth Anomaly – climate change, global warming, and ecological and environmental (E&E) degradation of land – presents a complex existential crisis for mankind. Based on field studies in tropical peatlands, Professor Mitsuru Osaki and his collaborators have developed an innovative transdisciplinary peatland science – Peatlogy – to address this complexity. Peatlogy in tropical peatland offers a holistic approach that […]

Global warming will not only interfere with the earth’s environmental systems but will also cause economic disruption. One recent study suggested the cost of global warming will be dramatically higher than original estimates. Dr Patrick Brown, of San José State University, undertook a net cost analysis to find out when the benefits of meeting the Paris Agreement targets will begin […]

Cow genetics could reduce the environmental impact of pastoral livestock production

Written by

Dairy farming can have negative effects on the environment, polluting waterways with an excess of nitrogen that can have long-term impacts. Research to date has addressed this problem by looking at ways to reduce the cow’s urinary urea nitrogen concentration, but this has involved mitigation techniques that paint the cow as the problem rather than the solution. Cameron Marshall, a […]
