Ocean Acidification and Human Health
While ocean acidification was initially perceived as a threat only to the marine realm, the authors of a new publication argue that it is also an emerging human health issue.
Extreme Rainfall Events Cause Top-Heavy Aquatic Food Webs
An expansive, multi-site ecology study led by UBC has uncovered new insights into the effects of climate change on the delicate food webs of the neotropics.
Marine Lab: New Study Predicts Coral Bleaching and Coral-Eating Starfish Invasions Months in Advance
A new study by the Marine Laboratory at the University of Guam may help researchers predict coral bleaching months earlier than current tools, and, for the first time, may help predict invasion events of coral-eating crown-of-thorns starfish.
Living Close to Natural Green Space Benefits Gut Bacteria of Urban, Formula-Fed Infants, Study Shows
Living close to natural green space can mitigate some of the changes in infant gut bacteria associated with formula feeding, according to new research published in the journal Environment International.
Argonne Soil Carbon Research Reduces Uncertainty in Predicting Climate Change Impacts
DOE and USDA researchers use new global models to study how environmental controllers affect soil organic carbon, changes in which can alter atmospheric carbon concentrations and affect climate. Predictions could benefit industry mitigation plans.
