Disease and Trauma Found in Majority of Whale, Dolphin Strandings
From land–borne pathogens to high–speed vessel strikes, Pacific whales and dolphins are caught in a “perfect storm” where human-caused trauma and infectious diseases were found in more than 65% of investigated strandings.
Spray-on Antibacterial Coating Offers New Protection for Plants Against Disease and Drought
Engineers at the University of California San Diego have developed a spray-on polymer coating that could help plants resist harmful bacterial infections and survive drought.
Vast Freshwater Reserves Found Beneath Salinity-Stressed Coastal Bangladesh
Despite its tropical climate and floodplain location, Bangladesh—one of the world’s most densely populated nations—seasonally does not have enough freshwater, especially in coastal areas.
How Climate Policies that Incentivize and Penalize Can Drive the Clean Energy Transition
A new study from a team of researchers that includes faculty from the University of California San Diego and Princeton University shows how a mix of subsidies for clean energy and taxes on pollution can significantly reduce greenhouse gas emissions that cause climate change.
Earth’s Growing Heat Imbalance Driven More by Clouds Than Air Pollution, Study Finds
Earth is taking in more energy than it releases back to space—a growing “energy imbalance” that is fueling global warming.
