Ymchwil i ffermio cymysg yn mynd i’r afael â heriau newid hinsawdd
Mae ymchwilwyr ym Mhrifysgol Aberystwyth yn cydweithio ar brosiect rhyngwladol gwerth €7m i helpu ffermwyr i fabwysiadu dulliau amaethyddol mwy arloesol i sicrhau bod eu busnesau yn gallu gwrthsefyll ac addasu i heriau allanol. Trwy’r prosiect pedair blynedd hwn, bydd ymchwilwyr yn cydweithio â ffermwyr yn Ewrop i’w helpu i weithredu dulliau ffermio cymysg, sy’n… Continue reading Ymchwil i ffermio cymysg yn mynd i’r afael â heriau newid hinsawdd
Gallai 92% o rewlifoedd yr Alpau ddiflannu erbyn diwedd y ganrif, medd ymchwilwyr
Gallai newid hinsawdd arwain at golli hyd at 92% o rewlifoedd yr Alpau erbyn diwedd y ganrif hon yn ôl canfyddiadau ymchwil newydd. O dan arweinyddiaeth ymchwilwyr ym Mhrifysgol Aberystwyth, mae’r prosiect CHANGE wedi modelu Uchderau Llinell Cyfantoledd Amgylcheddol rhewlifoedd dyffrynnoedd ar draws yr Alpau Ewropeaidd er mwyn darogan yn fwy cywir eu hymateb tebygol… Continue reading Gallai 92% o rewlifoedd yr Alpau ddiflannu erbyn diwedd y ganrif, medd ymchwilwyr
92% of Alpine glaciers could disappear by the end of this century, researchers say
Climate change could result in the loss of up to 92% of glaciers in the Alps by the end of this century according to new research findings. Led by researchers at Aberystwyth University, the European Union-funded ‘CHANGE’ project has modelled the Environmental Equilibrium Line Altitude of valley glaciers across the European Alps in order to… Continue reading 92% of Alpine glaciers could disappear by the end of this century, researchers say
