Scientists and regulators are using satellite data and custom models from NASA to help monitor ozone pollution.
Using Historical Weather Data To Optimize Power Grid
Information about past outlier conditions could provide valuable context to help operators better manage the grid during extreme weather.
Innovative Partnerships Fast Track Polluted Portland Harbor Toward Restoration
Through public-private partnerships, restoration banking restores resources affected by pollution in Oregon and helps habitats recover faster.
Smoke From Western Wildfires can Influence Arctic Sea Ice, Researchers Find
Sea ice and wildfires may be more interconnected than previously thought, according to new research out today in Science Advances.
Western Wildfire Smoke Plumes are Getting Taller
In recent years, the plumes of smoke crawling upward from Western wildfires have trended taller, with more smoke and aerosols lofted up where they can spread farther and impact air quality over a wider area.
Cultivating Super Corals Alone Is Unlikely to Protect Coral Reefs From Climate Change
A popular coral restoration technique is unlikely to protect coral reefs from climate change and is based on the assumption that local threats to reefs are managed effectively, according to a study co-authored by Rutgers researchers.
New Antarctic study shows levels of ‘forever chemicals’ reaching the remote continent have been increasing
New evidence from Antarctica shows that toxic 'fluorinated forever chemicals' have increased markedly in the remote environment in recent decades and scientists believe CFC-replacements could be among likely sources.
Climate change could be making it harder for seabirds to catch fish
Researchers have found that that cloudier waters, caused in part by climate change, is making it harder for seabirds to catch fish.
How molecular motor proteins are involved in malaria transmission
Scientists have made a major breakthrough in understanding how malaria parasites divide and transmit the disease, which could be a major step forwards in helping to prevent one of the biggest killer infections in the world.
A ‘nano-robot’ built entirely from DNA to explore cell processes
Constructing a tiny robot from DNA and using it to study cell processes invisible to the naked eye... You would be forgiven for thinking it is science fiction, but it is in fact the subject of serious research. This highly innovative 'nano-robot' should enable closer study of the mechanical forces...
