The Higher, the Better: Altitude Key to Mapping Mesquite, Bluestem Growth
The research conducted by a team from Texas Tech University utilized UAV flights to collect data and display how honey mesquite and yellow bluestem spread, potentially giving landowners a way to control the species population.
Wildfire on the Rise Since 1984 in Northern California’s Coastal Ranges
High-severity wildfires in northern coastal California have been increasing by about 10 percent per decade since 1984, according to a study from the University of California, Davis, that associates climate trends with wildfire.
Study Quantifies Saharan Dust Reaching Amazon
UM Rosenstiel School-led study has important implications for soil fertility in Amazon Basin
Emissions Could Add 15 Inches to 2100 Sea Level Rise, NASA-Led Study Finds
An international effort that brought together more than 60 ice, ocean and atmosphere scientists from three dozen international institutions has generated new estimates of how much of an impact Earth’s melting ice sheets could have on global sea levels by 2100.
Sea Ice Triggered the Little Ice Age, Finds a New Study
The Little Ice Age may have arisen “out of the blue,” from internal variability within the climate system, rather than in response to an external push from volcanic eruptions or other factors.
