Experiments show shifting ripple patterns can signal times of environmental flux.

Study finds shoebox-sized CubeSats gather weather data comparably to data collected by larger satellites.

Stronger efforts to cut greenhouse gas emissions should be undertaken to avoid global warming of more than 1.5˚C - without relying on potentially more expensive or risky technologies to remove CO2 from the atmosphere or reduce the amount of sunlight reaching the Earth’s surface.

Green algae stole genes from bacteria to survive in harsh environments, study suggests.

Land area in Hawai‘i is vulnerable to future sea rise, researchers say.

It’s no longer a question of whether Alberta is getting hotter — and a half-century of detailed satellite climate data has led University of Calgary researchers to determine exactly how much hotter, down to the scale of an average parking stall.

New NOAA research looking at the devastating 2017 Atlantic hurricane season projects that should similar weather conditions occur in the future, it’s likely the number of major hurricanes (category 3 and higher) would increase by two in a similar active year at the end of century.

Where do pesticides and their degradation products go once they enter the soil? And how long does it take them to get to groundwater or drainage systems? That depends on a number of factors, but researchers at Aarhus University have come a step closer to finding quick answers. For the first time ever, they have used visible/near-infrared spectroscopy to predict the transport of dissolved chemicals through intact soil. 

Even after being severely damaged by blast fishing and coral mining, coral reefs can be rehabilitated over large scales using a relatively inexpensive technique, according to a study led by the University of California, Davis, in partnership with Mars Symbioscience.

NASA’s Terra satellite passed over the Eastern Pacific Ocean and provided forecasters with a visible image of Hurricane Rosa that gave an indication an eye has formed. Rosa is expected to become a major hurricane by Thursday, Sept. 27.
