In the summer of 2011, visitors to the University of California, Davis, Arboretum may have witnessed an unusual site: small teams of students wielding large nets, leaping into the arboretum’s waterway to snag basking turtles.

Plants are extremely sensitive to lengths of nights and days and use the information to keep track of seasons, information crucial to their life cycles.

A group of BYU researchers may have found a way to reverse falling crop yields caused by increasingly salty farmlands throughout the world.

Study helps to bridge the gap between climate modelling and geological observations of the deep past.

Further research is needed to obtain a more accurate assessment of exposure to microplastics and their potential impacts on human health.

Texas A&M College of Geosciences researcher Dr. Brendan Roark co-authored game-changing research on the Hawaiian-Emperor Seamount Chain.

As major wildfires increase in Canada’s North, boreal forests that have acted as carbon sinks for millennia are becoming sources of atmospheric carbon, potentially contributing to the greenhouse effect.

From the shores of Florida to the islands of Japan, from the Midway atoll to southern Australia, an unheralded ecological regeneration may be underway.

Weather and fuel—two leading wildfire culprits—are now in the crosshairs of a University of Alberta researcher hoping to use machine learning against them.

Blue sharks use large, swirling ocean currents, known as eddies, to fast-track their way down to feed in the ocean twilight zone—a layer of the ocean between 200 and 1000 meters deep containing the largest fish biomass on Earth, according to new research by the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (WHOI) and the Applied Physics Lab at the University of Washington (UW).
