Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the leading cause of death worldwide, accounting for approximately one in every three deaths, with more than 20 million deaths reported in 2021 according to a 2024 World Heart Federation report.
Following decades of decline, even fewer birds will darken North American skies by the end of the century, according to a new University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign analysis. The study is the first to examine the long-term effects of climate change on the abundance and diversity of bird groups across the continent as a whole while accounting for additional factors that put birds at risk.
Intensive fishing and habitat degradation from urbanization and climate change have caused queen conch populations to significantly dwindle. “eConch,” a free online training program to grow queen conch, is easy to follow, allows users to move at their own pace, includes high-quality video and provides access to expert advice.
A new study by an international team of researchers, published today in Nature Climate Change, has revealed significant progress in the drive to reduce atmospheric levels of chemicals that destroy the Earth’s protective ozone layer, confirming the success of historic regulations limiting their production and use. Empa scientists contributed to this study with measurements from the high-alpine research station at Jungfraujoch.

Placing Women Front and Center Is Key to Achieving Global Marine Conservation and Sustainable Development Agendas
The quest for sustainable energy solutions has led to a new study that explores the neighboring effects in single-atom catalysts (SACs) for the electrochemical reduction of carbon dioxide (CO2).
Cities play a pivotal role in overcoming the pressing challenges posed by climate change – and the University of Bristol is ramping up efforts to support them on a local, national, and international level.
Lignin is the world’s largest renewable source of aromatic carbon for potential bioproducts manufacture. Scientists have now engineered a bacterium to convert this aromatic carbon into two useful chemical compounds: carotenoids and an acid called PDC. This could help make biorefineries more sustainable and economically viable.
A new study uncovers the intricate molecular mechanisms that regulate leaf senescence in apple plants, focusing on the crucial role of the E3 ligase enzyme, MdPUB23, and its interaction with the ABI5 protein.
A rare conifer, Cupressus gigantea, has an unexpectedly lower genetic load despite its dwindling population size. This study explores the evolutionary strategy behind its survival, focusing on the purging of deleterious mutations that contribute to its enduring legacy in the face of climate change and habitat fragmentation.
Declining snowfall is changing the seasonal patterns of streamflow throughout the Northern hemisphere boosting chances of water shortages in the summer, scientists have found.
New research by the University of South Australia has found a connection between pleasant weather conditions and higher investment in lottery-like stocks.
A recent study unveils the geographical features and development models of global estuarine cities. These cities, situated at the confluences of rivers and oceans, exhibit unique ecological and socioeconomic characteristics.
The Earth Dynamics Geodetic Explorer (EDGE)—a newly proposed NASA satellite mission to monitor the three-dimensional structure of global vegetation and ice—is one of four finalists selected for NASA’s next generation of Earth-observing satellites under the Earth System Explorers Program.
A record 17 to 25 named storms have been predicted for the 2024 Atlantic hurricane season, with 8 to 13 of them becoming hurricanes. A new forecast model jointly created by researchers at NOAA and the University of Miami will provide better diversity of prediction tools.
Virginia Tech entomologist Thomas Kuhar answers questions about Japanese beetles, including sharing advice on how to control them, and an explanation of the back story of these deceptively lovely pests. These insects have no natural predators in the United States, while their voracious appetites can devastate more than 300 species of North American plants, from turfgrass to roses, grapes and hops.
