Study helps clarify role of soil microbes in global warming
Maximizing Research Opportunities
Current models of global climate change predict warmer temperatures will increase the rate that bacteria and other microbes decompose soil organic matter, a scenario that pumps even more heat-trapping carbon into the atmosphere.
Georgia’s Fragile Coast: Will Building Green Pay Off?
Maximizing Research Opportunities
The roads at Barbour Pointe—a marsh-side Savannah development of 36 homesites—are literally paved with good intentions, brick pavers laid down in a pattern that allows water to seep through and move into the soil in a benign and natural way.
Shallow-water corals more resistant to bleaching
Maximizing Research Opportunities
Stressed corals lose the symbiotic algae that help them survive in a process known as bleaching, but UGA researchers have discovered that one subtype of the symbiotic algae that live mostly in shallow-water corals of the Caribbean provide resistance to environmental stress.
‘Bumpy’ forecast
Maximizing Research Opportunities
It comes blasting out of the blue on your airplane flight: sudden bumpiness and sometimes even a violent plummeting.
Algae holds promise as biofuel
Maximizing Research Opportunities
Wastewater generated by carpet production could potentially be used to grow yet another crop for biofuel – algae.
Soybean grant gives researchers tools to unravel better bean
Maximizing Research Opportunities
For millennia, people have grown soybeans and turned them into useful products like oil and livestock feed.
