Global Warming May be a Boon for This Aggressive Prairie Plant
Climate change may reduce yields of crops like corn and soybeans, but it can also give some plants an edge.
A New Way to Eavesdrop on Ocean Temperature in the Arctic
New research led by scientists at UC San Diego’s Scripps Institution of Oceanography finds that the travel time of underwater sounds traveling across the Arctic Ocean can be used to precisely measure ocean temperature under the region’s sea ice, providing precious data on temperature variability in a rapidly changing environment...
