Discovery of Inner Ear Function May Improve Diagnosis of Hearing Impairment
Results from a research study published in Nature Communications show how the inner ear processes speech, something that has until now been unknown. The authors of the report include researchers from Linköping University.
Economic Analysis Provides Watershed Moment for Environmental Groups
Economists have found that in the United States, watershed groups have had a positive impact on their local water quality.
Stanford Scientists Observe Water Storage, a Missing Piece That Could Help Explain How Glaciers Move
Stanford scientists have revealed the presence of water stored within a glacier in Greenland, where the rapidly changing ice sheet is a major contributor to the sea-level rise North America will experience in the next 100 years. This observation – which came out of a new way of looking at existing data – has been a missing component for models aiming to predict how melting glaciers will impact the planet.
Sea Snail Shells Dissolve in Increasingly Acidified Oceans, Study Shows
Shelled marine creatures living in increasingly acidified oceans face a fight for survival as the impacts of climate change spread, a new study suggests.
Getting a Longer Heads-Up on El Niño
Changes in Atlantic Ocean sea surface temperatures can be used to predict extreme climatic variations known as El Niño and La Niña more than a year in advance, according to research conducted at Korea’s Pohang University of Science and Technology and published in the journal Scientific Reports.
