Crocodiles in northern Australia are heating up as the climate warms, with higher body temperatures changing their behaviour.
In the winter of 2020, Inuit hunters in Canada’s Central Arctic came across the frozen carcasses of 11 beached bowhead whales, enormous marine mammals that have made a slow but steady comeback since they were driven to the brink of extinction by late 19th and early 20th century whalers.
Using machine learning, Rutgers researchers develop a “probability map” from databases that combines whale monitoring and environmental data.
Volatile organic compounds (VOC) are known to be contaminants originating in industrial processes and materials, as well as a reason for substandard indoor air, but they are also formed in nature, including wetlands, forests, volcanoes and hydrothermal vents.
MIT researchers developed a new approach for assessing predictions with a spatial dimension, like forecasting weather or mapping air pollution.
Combustion engines, the engines in gas-powered cars, only use a quarter of the fuel’s potential energy while the rest is lost as heat through exhaust.
A UBC student has developed bamboo-based takeout containers that are as durable as conventional options, don’t rely on harmful “forever chemicals” and break down quickly in natural conditions.
Researchers have generated the first dataset of water flow beneath the entire Antarctic Ice Sheet, which will lead to more accurate projections of sea level rise.
Colorado’s forests store a massive amount of carbon, but dying trees – mostly due to insects and disease – have caused the state’s forests to emit more carbon than they absorbed in recent years, according to a Colorado State Forest Service report.
It’s 1999, the 21st century is on the horizon, and California has big plans for marine conservation.
