Over some 20 years as an inspirational science teacher and, later, as panel head of the Science Research Department at Maryknoll Fathers’ School in Hong Kong, To Yuen-man has developed an impressive track record as an effective science educator.
More trees may help to mitigate the impacts of climate change, by helping to boost carbon storage as well as cool areas, Hong Kong experts suggest.
Scientists, including some in Hong Kong, are peering into the future of warmer, more acidic waters, by making use of the world’s natural laboratories – carbon dioxide seeps found in volcanic waters around New Zealand, Japan and Papua Guinea, among others.
Marine life is facing a host of challenges as oceans grow warmer and habitats alter.
The International Energy Agency (IEA) expects global CO2 emissions to have dropped by as much as eight per cent in 2020 compared with 2010 levels. This largely reflects the radical change in human behaviour due to restrictions on work, travel, and social gatherings imposed on more than one billion people across at least 50 countries around the world, as governments struggled to contain the...
What are the implications of weather changes due to global warming for Hong Kong and the region?
Scientists are striving to understand what climate change means to local ecosystems, with insects a critical element of such research
With the pollutant increasing in Hong Kong, studies on its effect on the city’s flora are providing insights into the ecological damage it can cause as well as links with climate change
Jellyfish are expected to be among the winners in the race to survive in warming, oxygen-depleted waters, and a research team at the School of Life Sciences at the Chinese University of Hong Kong may have found a reason why, in their hormones.
The implications of the climate crisis vary by region, but scientists in Hong Kong are finding the local environment to largely be moving in line with global trends
The Pearl River Delta could see sea levels rise by up to 1.94 metres by 2100, potentially submerging around 8,570 square kilometres of land and calling for strengthened coastal planning and adaptation.
