The results show that different climate change signals can potentially alter the flow and concentration of pollution in the European Seas, when compared to the present day. Ultimately, this work identifies the main sources of marine pollution as: (1) rivers and streams near cities and ...
While significant parts of the globe are already facing significant freshwater scarcity, the need for more freshwater is projected to increase in order to sustain the increasing global population and economic growth, and adapt to climate change. Current approaches for addressing this challenge, which h...

Examples include photosynthesis, organic semiconductors, quantum computing, and NMR sensitivity enhancement. In this Collection, we invite original research that deepens the understanding of spin state dynamics and spin effects and harnesses the gained insights to design novel reactions, catalytic processes,...
We live in an age when all scientific knowledge — from the safety of vaccines (疫苗) to the reality of climate change — faces organized and often angry opposition. Doubters have declared war on the consensus (共识) of experts. It seems that people have turned argumentative overnight. In ...
Common examples include osteoporosis and Paget’s disease. These conditions are increasing in incidence with population ageing and present a significant healthcare burden. Bone health is also an important determinant of overall health and quality of life. Therefore, it is of interest to improve our ...
Skeptics may see this as a naive wish, but history is filled with examples of when such bilateral scientific collaboration has taken place in the face of adversity. During the height of the Cold War, the U.S. and the Soviet Union embarked on the 1972Apollo-Soyuz Test Project, ...

Two recent examples suggest that legally binding commitments to match emissions reductions would likely be an improvement on the status quo, even without an explicit enforcement mechanism in place. First, some parties to both the Kyoto Protocol and the Paris Agreement rejected legally binding targets55...
The magnitude and frequency of extreme precipitation events in the early twenty-first century have already proven to be increasing at a rate more quickly than previously anticipated. Currently, the biggest consequence of the change in extreme precipitation is the lack of a climate-adjusted national ...
