Three researchers at The University of Texas at Arlington have made a groundbreaking discovery that could enhance the ability of reef-building corals to survive a rapidly warming and disease-filled ocean.

NASA Satellites Find Biggest Seaweed Bloom in the World
An unprecedented belt of brown algae stretches from West Africa to the Gulf of Mexico—and it’s likely here to stay.
Fish Die-offs Linked to Hotter Summers
Fish die-offs in Wisconsin lakes are expected to double by mid-century and quadruple by 2100 due to warmer summer temperatures, according to a study published today in the journal Nature Climate Change.
Portland State Study Demonstrates How Plants, Trees and Reflective Materials Can Reduce Extreme Heat in City Neighborhoods
Planting more vegetation, using reflective materials on hard surfaces and installing green roofs on buildings can help cool potentially deadly urban heat islands -- a phenomenon that exists in nearly all large cities -- a new study from Portland State University shows.
Why Is East Asian Summer Monsoon Circulation Enhanced Under Global Warming?
The near-surface southerly wind is a key feature of East Asian summer monsoon (EASM) circulation, and a stronger EASM circulation leads to a northward shift of East Asian rainfall. Almost all climate models show an enhanced EASM circulation in a warmer climate, and previous studies attributed the enhanced EASM to the enhanced zonal land-sea thermal contrast.
NASA-NOAA Satellite Sees Smoke from Multiple Fires in New Mexico
The U.S. Forest Service’s Gila National Forest reported four naturally caused fires on July 4, 2019, and three of them generated enough smoke to be seen from space by satellite.
