“Climate Change is Neither New, nor Men’s Fault”

A research made by scientists from the Conicet and the University says that climate change was not produced cyclically during thousands of years and that its main cause is solar radiation. According to the researchers’ hypothesis, global warming won’t be prevented by the human action and its highest peak will be reached in 600 years. Some traces were obtained in Bahía Blanca’s estuary. They will look for others in an expedition to Tierra del Fuego.

A Place for Bioethics

A Place for Bioethics

A research carried out by specialists from the School of Law states that the globalization of Law and the dissolution of the State generated the creation of a new biopolitical space. The work goes deep into the role of bioethics in the current globalization scenario and, among other key points, analyzes the advance of the international law over the local law, the corporative control over biodiversity and the conversion of social value development into economic and strategic values.

New Method to measure Heat in Cities

New Method to measure Heat in Cities

Researchers of the UNCuyo warn about “heat island effect” produced by the increment of cement on green spaces and its combination with global warming in cities. That is why they determined the “environmental value” of different spaces to discover how to make them more efficient against heat. This value represents the percentage of solar energy subtracted from the environment and the quantity of heat emitted as sensitive heat. To mitigate the harmful effects they recommend an intelligent planning of open public and private spaces.

El retroceso de la Antártida y el cambio climático

En conjunto con investigadores de otras universidades del mundo, biólogos de la UNC trabajan desde hace 15 años estudiando el impacto que está produciendo el calentamiento global en el continente antártico. Los especialistas cordobeses se focalizan en la caracterización de los efectos en los ecosistemas marinos a raíz del retroceso de los glaciares. Los temas más preocupantes son la consecuencia de la desglaciación forzada del continente en la dinámica del resto del planeta y la pérdida de biodiversidad. Desde 1997 los investigadores vienen detectando cambios en los ecosistemas bentónicos, con especies que desaparecieron parcialmente y otras que se multiplicaron.
