Field biologists tend to be a patient lot, often resigned to long days and weeks in the field and committed to experiments that take years to yield results.
Thousands of Birds and Fish Threatened by Mining for Clean Energy Transition
New research has found that 4,642 species of vertebrate are threatened by mineral extraction around the world through mining and quarrying, and drilling for oil and gas.
New Study Disputes Hunga Tonga Volcano’s Role In 2023-24 Global Warm-Up
New research from a collaborative team featuring Texas A&M University atmospheric scientist Dr. Andrew Dessler is exploring the climate impact of the 2022 Hunga Tonga volcano eruption and challenging existing assumptions about its effects in the process.
AI Takes Flight to Revolutionise Forest Monitoring
Forests are often described as the ‘lungs of the Earth’, absorbing twice as much carbon as they emit, acting as carbon sinks (storing CO2 in their branches, roots and leaves).
A Cool Solution
Artificial intelligence (AI) is hot right now. Also hot: the data centers that power the technology. And keeping those centers cool requires a tremendous amount of energy.
Raindrops Grow with Turbulence in Clouds
Scientists for decades have attempted to learn more about the complex and mysterious chain of events by which tiny droplets in clouds grow large enough to begin falling toward the ground.
How Tree Bark is Helping to Fight Climate Change
For many years, we have known that trees are nature's champions at absorbing carbon dioxide.
The Ocean Is Becoming Too Loud for Oysters
Baby oysters rely on natural acoustic cues to settle in specific environments, but new research from the University of Adelaide reveals that noise from human activity is interfering with this critical process.
How Saharan Dust Regulates Hurricane Rainfall
New research underscores the close relationship between dust plumes transported from the Sahara Desert in Africa and rainfall from tropical cyclones along the U.S. Gulf Coast and Florida.
Oregon State University Research Uncovers Better Way to Produce Green Hydrogen
Researchers at Oregon State University have developed a material that shows a remarkable ability to convert sunlight and water into clean energy.
