The cost of reversing the effects of climate change -- restoring melted polar sea ice, for example -- quickly climbs nearly fourfold soon after a tipping point is crossed, according to new work. Much work has been done to explore the environmental costs tied to climate change. But this new study marks the first time researchers have quantified the costs of controlling tipping points before and after they unfold.

Millions of workers across the United States rely on tight-fitting respirators to keep them safe on the job. These workers have a wide variability in facial features and dimensions, making it challenging to identify specific respirator models and sizes that will provide a proper fit. If a respirator does not properly fit, forming a tight seal against the wearer’s face, then it may not provide the expected level of protection.

More than a million years ago, on a hot savannah teeming with wildlife near the shore of what would someday become Lake Turkana in Kenya, two completely different species of hominins may have passed each other as they scavenged for food. Scientists know this because they have examined 1.5-million-year-old fossils they unearthed and have concluded they represent the first example of two sets of hominin footprints made about the same time on an ancient lake shore.
