A Climate ‘Wake-up Call’
Research shows a more prosperous global future is possible if both climate change and sustainable fisheries management are addressed now.
Catalyst Advance Could Lead to Economical Fuel Cells
Researchers have developed a new way to make low-cost, single-atom catalysts for fuel cells — an advance that could make important clean energy technology more economically viable.
How the Forest Copes with the Summer Heat
Trees try to protect themselves from extreme drought with various measures such as premature leaf shedding.
Mapping Trees Can Help Count Endangered Lemurs
The vast majority of lemur species are on the edge of extinction, experts warn. But not every lemur species faces a grim future. There may be as many as 1.3 million white-fronted brown lemurs still in the wild, for example, and mouse lemurs may number more than 2 million, a Duke-led study has shown.
Climate Change Projected to Boost Insect Activity and Crop Loss
Scientists have already warned that climate change likely will impact the food we grow.
