Increases in Extreme Humid-heat Disproportionately Affect Populated Regions
The world is not only getting hotter but also more humid, and new research by Washington State University scientists shows people living in areas where humid-heat extremes are already a significant hazard are bearing the brunt of the impact.
Arctic Sea Ice May Make a Last Stand in This Remote Region. It May Lose the Battle.
With warming climate, summer sea ice in the Arctic has been shrinking fast, and now consistently spans less than half the area it did in the early 1980s.
Insects in the Light of Land Use and Climate
Urbanisation appears to be another key factor for insect decline.
Icy ‘Glue’ May Control Pace of Antarctic Ice-Shelf Breakup
As the ice-and-snow rubble known as mélange melts in Antarctica’s ice shelves, rifts can grow and icebergs break off even in the brutal cold of winter.
Novel Habitats Created by Non-native Mangrove Trees May Inform the Future Management of Some Invasive Species
In a new paper published in the Journal of Applied Ecology, environmental science and management professor Elise Granek and lead author Casey Lewis, PSU alumna, report the findings of a census of zooplankton communities in non-native mangrove habitats and open coastline on the island of Moloka'i, Hawaii.
