Since 2011, parts of the Indian River Lagoon’s benthic cover has changed from primarily seagrass until 2015, to primarily the green macroalga C. prolifera after 2018. While native to the lagoon, C. prolifera acts as an invasive species that can move into new spaces and dominate due to its competitive ability in impaired habitats.

Despite their tiny sizes, aerosols, such as sea salt, dust, and ash, play a giant role in shaping weather and climate. These particles scatter light, act as the starting point for cloud formation, and can even initiate or limit rainfall.
A new study from the UW found that unfiltered air from rush-hour traffic significantly increased passengers’ blood pressure, both while in the car and up to 24 hours later.
Mediante su Programa de Sustentabilidad Ambiental, NOIRLab de NSF reducirá la totalidad de su huella de carbón anual en un 50% hacia fines de 2027, gracias a distintas asignaciones de fondos suplementarios de la Fundación Nacional de Ciencias de los Estados Unidos para la instalación de paneles solares y baterías en los telescopios de Gemini Sur y Vera C. Rubin, ambos situados en Chile, además de otras mejoras en las instalaciones de la base de operaciones y en las cumbres.
Running in cold weather has many benefits, including reduced heat stress, boosted metabolism, elevated mood, and burning more calories. Just be sure to dress in layers and take safety precautions.
Can you turn manure into a cow, chicken or fish? Texas A&M AgriLife Research scientists are looking to do just that, in a roundabout, circular economy, kind of way.
Forest modeling by Oregon State University scientists shows that a site’s productivity – an indicator of how fast trees grow and how much biomass they accumulate – is the main factor that determines which time period between timber harvests allows for maximum above-ground carbon sequestration.

The November 2023 issue of Toxicological Sciences includes ToxSpotlight articles that examine the renal proximal tubule microphysiological system as an in vitro model for drug transport and toxicity studies and an integrated approach for early in vitro seizure prediction utilizing hiPSC neurons and human ion channel assays.
Could improve the health of millions of people and advance environmental justice for all
New research published today in leading international journal Science Advances paints an uncharacteristically upbeat picture for the planet. This is because more realistic ecological modelling suggests the world’s plants may be able to take up more atmospheric CO2 from human activities than previously predicted.
We’ve all heard it: Put a frog in boiling water, and it will jump out. But put the same frog in lukewarm water and heat it gradually, and you’ll cook the frog.
