While decades of monitoring and regulatory efforts have paid little attention to these tiny tributaries, student's research shows that they play an outsized role in feeding algae blooms and impacting coastal waters.

High land-use intensity reduces the beneficial effects of biodiversity on ecosystem services. 

North and South, rural and urban—the United States is a complex mix of cultures, mindsets, and life experiences. 

Electricity plays many roles in our lives, from lighting our homes to powering the technology and appliances we rely on every day.

Microplastic pollution exists on the seabed in Antarctica in the same quantities as in the North Atlantic and Mediterranean, scientists have found.

A new study by scientists from the University of Tasmania, CSIRO and the University of South Australia is the first to find a relationship between plastic debris ingested by seabirds and liver concentrations of mineral metals, with potential links to pollution and nutrition.

A team of leading environmental experts, spearheaded by the University of Nottingham, have warned that the current war on plastic is detracting from the bigger threats to the environment.

Conventional plastic is made from oil. The production of plastic is not sustainable, and it can contain substances we know are dangerous if ingested.

People's attitudes towards environmental issues appear to have little impact on the way they travel, according to the findings of recent research
