Scientists conducted a study that provides an assessment of the potential effects of climate warming and water management of the West Florida Shelf dynamics during two particular events that affect its hydrology through the lens of a very high-resolution model.
Carbon captured and stored since 1996 is significant but overestimated by up to 30 per cent
Although a significant amount of carbon has been caught and stored so far, governments should curb overestimation.

Skin: An additional tool for the versatile elephant trunk
A new study suggests that an elephant's muscles aren't the only way it stretches its trunk -- its folded skin also plays an important role. The combination of muscle and skin gives the animal the versatility to grab fragile vegetation and rip apart tree trunks. The research, in collaboration with...
Water resources to become less predictable with climate change
Water resources will fluctuate increasingly and become more difficult to predict in snow-dominated regions across the Northern Hemisphere by later this century, according to a comprehensive new climate change study. Even regions that keep receiving the same amount of precipitation will experience more variable and unpredictable streamflow as snowpack recedes.
Houston residents’ chemical exposure increased post-Hurricane Harvey, study finds
Researchers used silicone wristbands to measure Houston residents' increased exposure to hazardous chemicals in the wake of Hurricane Harvey in 2017.
