Will we run out of groundwater?

Groundwater supplies half the world’s drinking water and irrigates a third of its crops, yet it is disappearing fast. How much can we still use before it is gone? ERC grantee Marc Bierkens is among the first to map the global overuse of groundwater…

Climate stories from frozen archives

Layers of regurgitated stomach oil preserved by snow petrels are helping ERC grantee Erin McClymont trace how Antarctic ecosystems have responded to past climate shifts. Her research offers a rare glimpse into history that could inform predictions…

Study highlights disproportionate climate risk to children worldwide

A new study has found that children born today are likely to experience significantly more exposure to extreme climate events over their lifetime than previous generations - unless global greenhouse gas emissions are substantially reduced.

Advancing sorghum science: drought-resilient crop for Spain's agricultural future

Sorghum is an increasingly important crop for animal and human nutrition, especially in arid and semi-arid regions, due to its natural resistance to drought and high temperatures. CRAG researchers have identified the molecular mechanisms…

Antarctica’s receding sea ice could impact seabirds’ food supply

Antarctica’s rapidly receding sea ice could have a negative impact on the food supply of seabirds that breed hundreds of miles away from the continent.
