Like a sea captain tracking a white whale, Steve Miller has been chasing a rare form of marine bioluminescence for decades.
Better Models of Atmospheric ‘Detergent’ can Help Predict Climate Change
New research from Rochester scientist Lee Murray will aid in building more accurate computer models of the hydroxyl radical (OH), an important ‘detergent of the atmosphere.’
Nature Can Reduce Costs, Extend Life Of Infrastructure Projects
A new study by a Texas A&M AgriLife research scientist makes the case for natural infrastructure.
A Life Less Obvious: Study Sheds Light on the Evolution of Underground Microbes
Deep, dark fractures reaching far down into the oldest rocks on Earth may seem about as hospitable to life as outer space, but some estimates suggest that microbes dwelling deep in the Earth's crust account for the majority of microbial life.
Study Reveals the Shifting Sounds of Spring
An international team of researchers led by the University of East Anglia (UEA) developed a new technique, combining world-leading citizen science bird monitoring data with recordings of individual species in the wild, to reconstruct the soundscapes of more than 200,000 sites over the last 25 years.
