Rapidly warming Arctic could cause spread of nuclear waste, undiscovered viruses and dangerous chemicals, new report finds
Rapidly thawing Arctic permafrost has the potential to release radioactive waste from cold war nuclear submarines and reactors, antibiotic resistant bacteria and potentially undiscovered viruses, an Aberystwyth University researcher has jointly found. Writing in Nature Climate Change, Dr Arwyn Edwards, from the Institute of Biological, Environmental & Rural Sciences, co-authored the newly published research paper with academics… Continue reading Rapidly warming Arctic could cause spread of nuclear waste, undiscovered viruses and dangerous chemicals, new report finds
Gallai cynhesu cyflym yn yr Arctig ledaenu gwastraff niwclear, feirysau heb eu darganfod a chemegau peryglus, yn ôl adroddiad newydd
Mae gan rew parhaol yr Arctig sy’n dadmer yn gyflym, y potensial i ryddhau gwastraff ymbelydrol o longau tanfor ac adweithyddion niwclear rhyfel oer, bacteria sy’n gwrthsefyll gwrthfiotigau a feirysau a allai fod heb eu darganfod, yn ôl ymchwilydd o Brifysgol Aberystwyth a’i waith ar y cyd â thîm o’r Unol Daleithiau. Wrth ysgrifennu yn Nature Climate… Continue reading Gallai cynhesu cyflym yn yr Arctig ledaenu gwastraff niwclear, feirysau heb eu darganfod a chemegau peryglus, yn ôl adroddiad newydd
Cyflymu bridio Miscanthus er mwyn mynd i’r afael â newid hinsawdd
Bydd gwyddonwyr Prifysgol Aberystwyth yn ymchwilio i fabwysiadu techneg i gyflymu bridio Miscanthus mewn ymdrech i gwrdd â thargedau newid hinsawdd fel rhan o becyn gwerth £4 miliwn Llywodraeth y Deyrnas Gyfunol i hybu cynhyrchu biomas. Diolch i fuddsoddiad gan Raglen Arloesi Porthiant Biomas Llywodraeth y Deyrnas Gyfunol, bydd ymchwilwyr yn paratoi’r achos dros integreiddio… Continue reading Cyflymu bridio Miscanthus er mwyn mynd i’r afael â newid hinsawdd
Speeding up Miscanthus breeding to combat climate change
Aberystwyth University scientists will investigate adopting a technique to speed up Miscanthus breeding in an effort to meet climate change targets as part of a £4 million UK government package to boost biomass production. Thanks to investment from the UK Government’s Biomass Feedstocks Innovation Programme, researchers will make the case for integrating a technique called… Continue reading Speeding up Miscanthus breeding to combat climate change
Gallai microbau sy’n cronni ar yr Ynys Las arwain at golli rhagor o iâ medd ymchwil
Fe allai Llen Iâ’r Ynys Las fod dan fygythiad oherwydd bod microbau sydd ar ei arwyneb yn lluosogi’n gynt nag y cant eu golchi i ffwrdd mewn hinsawdd sy’n cynhesu, yn ôl ymchwil newydd gan Brifysgol Aberystwyth. Llen Iâ’r Ynys Las yw’r darn mwyaf o iâ yn hemisffer y gogledd. Mae’n ymestyn dros ardal o… Continue reading Gallai microbau sy’n cronni ar yr Ynys Las arwain at golli rhagor o iâ medd ymchwil
Microbe build-up on Greenland could mean more ice loss says research
The Greenland Ice Sheet could be under threat from microbes on its surface multiplying faster than they are washed away in a warming climate, according to new research from Aberystwyth University. The Greenland Ice Sheet is the largest mass of ice in the northern hemisphere. It covers an area about seven times the size of… Continue reading Microbe build-up on Greenland could mean more ice loss says research
