Climate change may reduce yields of crops like corn and soybeans, but it can also give some plants an edge.
New research led by scientists at UC San Diego’s Scripps Institution of Oceanography finds that the travel time of underwater sounds traveling across the Arctic Ocean can be used to precisely measure ocean temperature under the region’s sea ice, providing precious data on temperature variability in a rapidly changing environment that is remote and difficult to access.
Access to safe drinking water depends not only on infrastructure, but on the people who operate and maintain it.
At the top of the planet, the cap of sea ice across Arctic waters grows and shrinks with the seasons, usually reaching its annual maximum extent in March. In 2026, this peak occurred on March 15, when the extent reached 14.29 million square kilometers, matching the lowest maximum observed since satellite monitoring began in 1979.
After a wildfire, the flames may fade, but the danger does not.
The study, published today (30 March), was led by Dr Adriana Humanes, Newcastle University and Dr Juan Ortiz, Australian Institute of Marine Science (AIMS).
New research led by scientists at UC San Diego’s Scripps Institution of Oceanography is shining a spotlight on one of the ocean’s most overlooked habitats: seagrass.
Discovering how the bird flu virus degrades in the air around livestock and how engineering solutions can effect that degradation quickly and efficiently are core aims of a new University of Michigan Engineering-led project funded by the U.S. Department of Agriculture.
A newly developed plastic material of the same type as is used in baby diapers can collect clean and safe drinking water from the air.
Plowing, or tilling, is an age-old agricultural practice that readies the soil for planting by turning over the top layer to expose fresh earth.
