The Secrets of the Best Rainbows on Earth
Rainbows are some of the most spectacular optical phenomena in the natural world and Hawai‘i has an amazing abundance of them.
Catching Energy-Exploration Caused Earthquakes Before They Happen
Geoscientists at Sandia National Laboratories used 3D-printed rocks and an advanced, large-scale computer model of past earthquakes to understand and prevent earthquakes triggered by energy exploration.
Climate Change May Not Expand Drylands
Does a warmer climate mean more dry land? For years, researchers projected that drylands — including deserts, savannas and shrublands — will expand as the planet warms, but new research from the Harvard John A. Paulson School of Engineering and Applied Sciences (SEAS) challenges those prevailing views.
Citizens and Scientists Release 28-Year Record of Water Quality in Buzzards Bay
A long-lasting, successful relationship between scientists at the MBL Ecosystems Center and the citizen-led Buzzards Bay Coalition has garnered a long-term record of water quality in the busy bay that lies west of Woods Hole.
In Panama, Nitrogen-Fixing Trees Unlock Phosphorus and Other Scarce Nutrients
A new study, published this week in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, reveals that nitrogen-fixing trees play an underrecognized role in recovering tropical forests by enriching nutrient-poor soils with scarce elements such as phosphorus and molybdenum.
