Advancing Low Carbon Cities in Malaysia

Global commercial fish stocks could provide more food and profits in the future, despite warming seas, if adaptive management practices are implemented. Even so, yields for nearly half of the species analyzed are projected to fall below today’s levels.

A study by researchers at Nagoya University and other universities has indicated that feeding rats a high-sucrose diet only at night, when they are active, ameliorates high levels of fat accumulation in the blood and liver, avoiding the associated adverse effects of metabolic syndrome.

Climate change and other external forces are causing rapid marine community shifts in Japan’s coastal ecosystems. Better understanding of species distribution dynamics, as driven by these factors, can improve conservation efforts and climate change management.

Farmers will need to know how rising temperatures in Thailand will affect their rice crops.

Joint press release by Forestry and Forest Products Research Institute and Hokkaido University. Abandoned farmlands hold potential for the preservation of wetland and grassland birds as rehabilitation zones.

The Blue Communities project aims to exchange knowledge and experience between UK and Asia on integrated marine management and sustainable use of resources to improve health, well-being and livelihoods of coastal communities in the study areas. University of Malaya hosted the first meeting attended by participants from partnering countries.

An international group of researchers has demonstrated that branching complexity of rivers affects regional population stability and persistence in nature, contrary to current theories which suggest the importance of an ecosystem’s size.

A low-cost method for collecting water from the atmosphere could be used to provide potable water to dry, inland regions.

Maintaining a balance between rising sea levels and soil accumulation will rely on careful management of coastal regions.

The first quantification of wind energy in Saudi Arabia points to high wind power potential for many decades to come.

A new study, affiliated with South Korea's Ulsan National Institute of Science and Technology (UNIST) offers decisive proof that South Korea’s Ulsan city is affected by toxic substances contained in fine dust particles, regardless of the season.

Research reveals the genetic response to heat stress and highlights symbiotic algae’s role.

With the help of citizen science, researchers have unraveled the close correlation between weather conditions and the appearances of a giant slug species, enabling them to predict the slug’s activity on the following day.

University of Malaya researchers organized a climate change awareness program for secondary school children through fun science activities ‘ExploRace’. The awareness program is hoped to empower and engage active participation from school children to help tackle the climate change issues locally.

A professor, affiliated with South Korea's Ulsan National Institute of Science and Technology (UNIST) has been appointed to the new panel of the Climate Dynamics Panel (CDP).

South Korea's Ulsan National Institute of Science and Technology (UNIST) celebrated the opening ceremony of the Jülich-UNIST Joint Leading Institute in Advanced Energy Research.

Rainfall simulations in statistical models could allow accurate prediction of dangerous landslides.

Color changes in the northern Red Sea indicate rising sea temperatures could significantly impact tropical marine ecosystems.

An electronic tag that stretches and flexes while it records location and environmental data can monitor marine animals in their natural habitat.

In the longest running study of its kind, researchers found sea urchin populations were strongly affected by human-driven environmental changes.

A new method could help scientists understand how wildlife populations are affected by major natural events, such as hurricanes, severe winters, and tsunamis.

The College of Arts and Sciences at Qatar University (QU-CAS) held on March 26-27 its first Sustainable Development Conference aimed to highlight the efforts of the State of Qatar towards the achievement of a holistic sustainable development vision in line with the goals of Qatar National Vision 2030.
