Research indicates that a heavy sediment load might cause additional meandering in rivers.

New Berkeley Lab study finds warming climate could lead to profound changes in the subtropical climate

Rice-led study uncovers relationship between jet stream, atmospheric blocking events

Penn State scientists found patterns in the banding match movement in Earth's orbit that impacted climate in the deep past.

New research finds the Arctic’s oldest and thickest ice is more mobile and is vanishing twice as fast as ice in the rest of the Arctic.

After raising their families in summer, males and females of some bird species spend their winter break apart.

"Every land has its own seed.”

Collecting data is a critical part of doing research. But it can be a lengthy, challenging process, and in some cases — especially when dealing with severe weather or treacherous terrain — it can pose a danger to scientists.

A new study by the U.S. Geological Survey suggests that anticipated increases in urban land use in the Piedmont region of the southeastern United States will lead to loss of sensitive fish and invertebrate species from thousands of miles of small streams.
