Frozen hydrate crystals packed into tiny nanopores on ocean floors may hold the answer

A team led by University of Minnesota Twin Cities researchers has revealed, for the first time, that landslides can have a major impact on the movement of glaciers.

As reservoir levels dwindle in the arid southwestern United States, scientists have developed a method to estimate summer rainfall in the region months in advance. 

The São Francisco River drainage basin in Brazil’s Northeast region contains a substantial portion of the savanna-like Cerrado biome as well as large areas of Caatinga semi-arid thorn forest and some smaller fragments of Atlantic Rainforest. 

As the scientific community searches for worlds orbiting nearby stars that could potentially harbor life, new Southwest Research Institute-led research suggests that younger rocky exoplanets are more likely to support temperate, Earth-like climates.

The emergence of a new disease among turtles in Hervey Bay waters is also concerning researchers and rescuers.

CU Boulder study: trees outfitted with accelerometers could be the future of arborism, agriculture

The new paper, published in Environmental Research Letters, highlighted how storing carbon in forests could tackle climate change.

Researchers from the IIASA Energy, Climate, and Environment Program found that agricultural efforts in downstream countries in Central Asia, traditionally hampered by a lack of water for irrigation during the summer growing season, would be significantly boosted with a “dual water and energy storage scheme”, which also paves the way...

Solar flares are powerful bursts of energy.
