Environment and energy update from Physics World View this email online

Welcome to the Environment and Energy at Physics World weekly update, providing you with all the latest news on environmental science. This week includes the prospect of heavy rain, why conservation payments may not be working for Amazon rainforest, how the collapse of the Soviet Union reduced greenhouse emissions, Dave Elliott on the outlook for energy costs, the atmospheric rivers that boost sea level, and more. I hope you find this information useful, best wishes for a productive week    Liz Kalaugher  Editor, Environment and Energy at Physics World

RESEARCH UPDATES

Atmosphere, Water | Research update Atmospheric rivers drive local sea-level rise Phenomena generate strong upper ocean response Agriculture, Climate | Research update Post-Soviet food system changes led to greenhouse gas reductions Collapse in livestock sector brought widespread agricultural abandonment Climate | Research update Very heavy rain bouts are on the way Here is the long-term forecast. Rain will become more torrential, flash floods more frequent. Very heavy rain is a simple response to global temperatures Ecosystems, Environmental policy | Research update Conservation payments reduce deforestation on land next door Pilot project with indigenous communities in Amazon has minimal impact on area inside scheme
