Two �ٺ��Ƶ chemistry professors are part of a new multicampus center aimed at developing basic science for converting carbon dioxide into fuels and chemicals. The Center for Closing the Carbon Cycle, 4C, is lead by Professor Jenny Yang at UC Irvine and involves investigators from 12 universities along with three U.S.

Back-to-the-Future Plants Give Climate Change Insights

Katherine E Kerlin — November 13, 2018 - 4:36pm

If you were to take a seed and zap it into the future to see how it will respond to climate change, how realistic might that prediction be? After all, seeds that actually grow in the future will have gone through generations of genetic changes and adaptations that these “time traveling” seeds don’t experience.

Coping With Climate Stress in Antarctica

Some Antarctic fish living in the planet’s coldest waters are able to cope with the stress of rising carbon dioxide levels the ocean. They can even tolerate slightly warmer waters. But they can’t deal with both climate change stressors at the same time, according to a study from the University of California, Davis.

Tiny Shells Indicate Big Changes to Global Carbon Cycle

Katherine E Kerlin — May 25, 2017 - 4:31pm

Experiments with tiny, shelled organisms in the ocean suggest big changes to the global carbon cycle are underway, according to a study from the University of California, Davis.

For the study, published in the journal Scientific Reports, scientists raised foraminifera — single-celled organisms about the size of a grain of sand — at the �ٺ��Ƶ Bodega Marine Laboratory under future, high CO2 conditions.

You Say You Want a Transportation Revolution? How About Three of Them?

Katherine E Kerlin — May 02, 2017 - 12:40pm

Three transportation revolutions are in sight, and together, they could help reduce traffic, improve livability, save trillions of dollars and reduce urban transportation CO2 emissions by 80 percent or more worldwide by 2050. That’s according to a report released today from the University of California, Davis, and the New York-based nonprofit Institute for Transportation & Development Policy.

But to receive the most benefit from electric, driverless and shared transportation, the three revolutions must happen at the same time.
