A three-year study has cracked open the hidden biology behind coral reproduction, revealing hormone cycles that echo those of humans and other animals, and a new way to detect reef distress before it's too late.

‘Cooling poverty’ affects more than 2 billion in low- and middle-income countries according to a study published in Nature Sustainability.

Storm Dave, which swept across northern Europe over the Easter weekend, is a recent example of what new research from the University of Gothenburg has revealed. Spring storms forming over the North Atlantic have become more common than they were 80 years ago, and this is due to climate change.

A seven-year collaborative study has revealed alarming fluctuations in the health of Hawaiʻi’s endangered insular false killer whales, with some individuals losing nearly a quarter of their body weight in just a few months. Published today in Endangered Species Research, the findings provide the first quantitative evidence that nutritional stress and environmental shifts may be driving the decline of this iconic population, which now numbers fewer than 140 individuals.

Researchers at Tulane University have found that the world’s mangrove forests are no longer in decline and have shifted to overall growth in recent years. Using four decades of satellite data, a new study shows that natural regeneration, expansion into newly formed coastal habitats and conservation efforts have largely offset decades of mangrove loss, offering a rare conservation success story and a hopeful sign for climate resilience.

With millions of visitors expected in North Texas during the FIFA World Cup, researchers at The University of Texas at Arlington will conduct a field experiment to measure how large crowds, increased traffic and more flights affect the air quality around AT&T Stadium.

Atmospheric rivers (ARs) are long, narrow bands of intense water vapor transport that move large amounts of moisture from low to mid latitudes, resembling giant rivers in the sky. They are gaining widespread attention because of their potential to trigger flooding across the Japanese archipelago. Researchers at University of Tsukuba have discovered that influenced by global warming and the strengthening of the North Pacific Subtropical High, the intensity of water vapor transport in ARs has increased by approximately 8% over the past 42 years (1981-2022).
