Climate change could double the volume of dust in the atmosphere, warn UC San Diego scientists.
The extraordinary effects of dust on global weather
Carbon Flux Explorers
Jim Bishop, senior scientist at Berkeley Lab and professor at UC Berkeley, is leading a project to deploy robotic floats that provide data on how microorganisms sequester carbon in the ocean. He recently led a research team on a 10-day voyage, funded by the National Science Foundation, to put the Carbon Flux Explorers to the test.

Reimagining food waste
Food waste in the United States is at an all-time high. Globally, food waste is a major source of greenhouse gases - in fact, if food waste was a country, it would be the third largest emitter of greenhouse gases in the world. What to do? A panel of experts convened by Kitchens for Good and the Berry Good Food Foundation explores how to reverse this trend by connecting suppliers with those who will benefit most from increased access to healthy foods.
