A New Study Finds Research Gaps in Environmental Science Disciplines Across the Arctic
Global warming is driving rapid environmental change in the Arctic. "To understand these changes, field measurements that adequately represent environmental variation across the Arctic as a whole are crucial", says PhD student Anna-Maria Virkkala from the University of Helsinki.
New Study Estimates the Global Extent of River Ice Loss as Earth Warms
More than half of Earth’s rivers freeze over every year.
eDNA Expands Species Surveys to Capture a More Complete Picture
Tiny bits of DNA collected from waters off the West Coast allowed scientists to identify more species of marine vertebrates than traditional surveys with trawl nets.
A Close Look at Thin Ice
On frigid days, water vapor in the air can transform directly into solid ice, depositing a thin layer on surfaces such as a windowpane or car windshield.
Scientists Find the World’s Oldest Known Forest, Dating Back 386 Million Years
Scientists have discovered what they believe is the world’s oldest known forest — a set of 386-million-year-old fossilized root systems found in an old sandstone quarry in the Catskill Mountains in New York.
