Land Clearance a Bonus for Bees
After centuries of human impact on the world’s ecosystems, a new study from Flinders University details an example of how a common native bee species has flourished since the very first land clearances by humans on Fiji.
Old Oil Fields May Be Less Prone to Induced Earthquakes, Providing Stable Places for Carbon Storage
Subsurface carbon sequestration—storing carbon in rocks deep underground—offers a partial solution for removing carbon from the atmosphere.
