As industry, infrastructure and society move into increasingly inaccessible and weather-prone areas, the risk and the need for accurate knowledge increase.
Researchers have long known that heavy metals and persistent organic pollutants such as DDT concentrate in the Arctic, in top predator animals like polar bears.
Lisa Beal, a professor of ocean sciences at the University of Miami Rosenstiel School of Marine, Atmospheric, and Earth Science, collaborated with South African researchers to study the Agulhas Current, a fast and narrow western boundary current flowing poleward along the southeast coast of Africa.
Plants are growing higher up mountains across the Himalayan region, new research shows.
UBC researchers have developed a natural, biodegradable wash that removed over 86 per cent of surface pesticide residue from tested fruit and slowed browning and moisture loss.
New research from the UBC-based Mother Tree Project is shedding light on how forests respond to harvesting and climate stress, including practices aimed at reducing wildfire risk.
A large-scale experiment shows that warmth brings bees and wasps out of hibernation earlier – leaving some of them with poorer starting conditions.
When extreme weather looms, timely and accurate warnings can give people the chance to adjust their plans, brace for danger and, in the most severe cases, make decisions that keep them safe.
Technique uses deep learning to recognize subtle patterns in ocean surface temperature caused by currents.
Tiny particles bubbling up from the tops of melting sea ice into the Arctic sky may be a key, understudied element of cloud formation in that climate-sensitive region.
