Seaweed has long been praised as a sustainable superfood, but its characteristic 'fishy' flavor has been a barrier for many Western consumers.
Nearly 8,000 Animal Species at Risk as Extreme Heat and Land-Use Change Collide
Almost 8,000 animal species could be pushed closer to extinction by the end of this century as the interacting effects of climate change-driven extreme heat and human land-use change create increasingly unsuitable conditions across their habitats, according to new research from a international research team led by Dr Reut Vardi...
Artificial Turf in the Nordic Climate – A Question of Sustainability
Artificial turf football pitches are better than natural turf from a sustainability perspective – at least as long as the artificial turf material is recycled and the natural turf is cut using fossil fuel-powered lawn mowers.
New Ideas for Improving Photosynthesis in Agricultural Environments
Field trials show that applying T6P as a foliar spray can increase photosynthesis by adjusting the balance between supply (photosynthetic sugar production) and demand (growth processes requiring sugars).
Seagrass Study Points to Promising Pathway for Ocean Restoration
A new study led by UC San Diego’s Scripps Institution of Oceanography and the Salk Institute for Biological Studies reveals the potential of a new hybrid seagrass to advance ocean restoration efforts in California and beyond.
Study Reveals Opportunity to Improve Blue Carbon Measurements in Coastal Wetlands
Coastal wetlands, like salt marshes, keep pace with sea-level rise by accumulating sediment and burying organic carbon in their soils, an important natural process that also helps sequester carbon.
Testing Drones for Mars in the Mojave Desert

New Study Finds That Drones Can be a Valuable Ally in Elephant Conservation
Once seen as a source of alarm, drones (or Unmanned Aerial Vehicles, UAVs) are now proving to be surprisingly elephant-friendly and a valuable research tool.
Distance From Natural Habitat Doesn’t Reduce Pollination in Tropical Smallholder Farms
Being close to a natural habitat such as a forest doesn’t necessarily make farmland more attractive to pollinators, a new study shows.
Penguins ‘Starved to Death En Masse’ as Food Supply Collapsed
Penguins living off the coast of South Africa have likely starved to death en masse during their moulting season as a result of collapsing food supplies.
