Gabon Provides Blueprint for Protecting Oceans
Gabon's network of Marine Protected Areas (MPAs) provides a blueprint that could be used in many other countries, experts say.
Pink Pumice Key to Revealing Explosive Power of Underwater Volcanic Eruptions
The presence of pink pumice in the giant pumice raft of the 2012 Havre eruption that drifted across the southwest Pacific Ocean has led researchers to recognise the immense power of underwater volcanic eruptions.
Thawing Permafrost Could Release Cancer-Causing Gas
Thawing of permafrost due to climate change could expose the Arctic population to much greater concentrations of the cancer-causing gas Radon, a new story has found.
Antarctic Research Links Warming to Fish Decline
A long-term study in the Southern Ocean reveals a clear correlation between warming waters, decreased sea ice, and reduced abundance of Antarctic silverfish.
Geneticists Close to Grasping How Plant Communities May Adapt to Climate Change
A century after scientists first noted that the environment contributes to the evolution of adaptive differences among plant populations, scientists are on the verge of figuring out how that adaptation happens — by combining results from huge “common garden” experiments with genomic sequencing.
