Wastewater Sector Emits Nearly Twice as Much Methane as Previously Thought
Municipal wastewater treatment plants emit nearly double the amount of methane into the atmosphere than scientists previously believed, according to new research from Princeton University. And since methane warms the planet over 80 times more powerfully than carbon dioxide over 20 years, that...
The Pacific Ocean’s oxygen-starved ‘OMZ’ is growing, new Princeton research finds
Areas of low-oxygen water stretch for thousands of miles through the world’s oceans. The largest of these “oxygen minimum zones” (OMZs) is found along the Pacific coast of North and South America, centered off the coast of Mexico. Until recently, climate models have been unable to say...

Climate Change and the Ocean: Oxygen-poor Zones Shrank Under Past Warm Periods, Scientists Discover
In the last 50 years, oxygen-deficient zones in the open ocean have increased. Scientists have attributed this development to rising global temperatures: Less oxygen dissolves in warmer water, and the tropical ocean’s layers can become more stratified. But now, contrary to widespread...
