Only about 10 percent of plastic ever made gets recycled, according to a 2017 study in Science Advances.

With a fluid velocity of about 1 to 2 centimeters per second, the jet was also powerful enough to mix shallow waters with deeper, saltier waters. Without mixing, these waters of different densities would remain isolated in layers.]]> 2018-06-06 15:04:17 UTC https://padlet.com/camrynpennypacker/3zsrxz10wqon/wish/265899961 camrynpennypacker https://padlet.com/camrynpennypacker/3zsrxz10wqon/wish/265900216  A mix of fly species preserved from these times in a rare lake sediment core shows that Greenland was even warmer than previously thought.

Fifty years ago, red spruce was the equivalent of a canary in the coalmine signaling the effects of acid rain on forests. Researchers have identified two factors behind the tree's surprising recovery: reduced inputs of acid rain and warmer fall, winter and spring temperatures.]]> 2018-06-06 15:10:17 UTC https://padlet.com/camrynpennypacker/3zsrxz10wqon/wish/265901431 camrynpennypacker https://padlet.com/camrynpennypacker/3zsrxz10wqon/wish/265901535 Tens of thousands of sea turtles are caught each year by small-scale fishers off South America's Pacific coast, new research shows.]]> 2018-06-06 15:10:39 UTC https://padlet.com/camrynpennypacker/3zsrxz10wqon/wish/265901535 camrynpennypacker https://padlet.com/camrynpennypacker/3zsrxz10wqon/wish/265901979 Half of Antarctica has long thought to be seismically dormant, but a researcher tripled the number of recorded earthquakes by monitoring for just one year.

Much like highways, the jet stream has a capacity, researchers said, and when it's exceeded, blockages form that are remarkably similar to traffic jams -- and climate forecasters can use the same math to model them both.

To slow the evolutionary progression of weeds and insect pests gaining resistance to herbicides and pesticides, policymakers should provide resources for large-scale, landscape-level studies of a number of promising but untested approaches for slowing pest evolution.
