Europe lacks groundwater -- a lot of groundwater. The continent has already been suffering from a severe drought since 2018. This is confirmed by satellite data.
What crocodile DNA reveals about the Ice Age
What drives crocodile evolution? Is climate a major factor or changes in sea levels? Determined to find answers to these questions, researchers discovered that while changing temperatures and rainfall had little impact on the crocodiles' gene flow over the past three million years, changes to sea levels during the Ice...
New geosciences study shows Triassic fossils that reveal origins of living amphibians
A team of paleontologists have discovered the first 'unmistakable' Triassic-era caecilian fossil -- the oldest-known caecilian fossils -- thus extending the record of this small, burrowing mammal by roughly 35 million years. The find also fills a gap of at least 87 million years in the known historical fossil record...

Fish sensory organ key to improving navigational skills of underwater robots
Scientists have been studying a fish sensory organ to understand cues for collective behavior which could be employed on underwater robots.
Comparing airfares instead of seat size fairer indicator of passenger carbon emissions
Allocating passenger aircraft emissions using airfares rather than travel class would give a more accurate idea of individual contributions, finds a new study. Including airfares in calculations shows which passengers contribute the most revenue to the airline operating the aircraft, thereby allowing the plane to fly.
Humans Have Influenced the Growth of Blue-Green Algae in Lakes for Thousands of Years
In recent years, there have been increasing reports of toxic blue-green algae blooms in summer, even in German lakes, caused by climate warming and increased nutrient inputs.
