NASA Supercomputing Study Breaks Ground for Tree Mapping, Carbon Research
Scientists from NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Maryland, and international collaborators demonstrated a new method for mapping the location and size of trees growing outside of forests, discovering billions of trees in arid and semi-arid regions and laying the groundwork for more accurate global measurement of carbon storage on land.
Bark Beetle Outbreaks Benefit Wild Bee Populations, Habitat
When southern Rocky Mountain forests are viewed from a distance these days, it may not look like much is left.
Are Climate Scientists Being too Cautious When Linking Extreme Weather to Climate Change?
In this year of extreme weather events — from devastating West Coast wildfires to tropical Atlantic storms that have exhausted the alphabet — scientists and members of the public are asking when these extreme events can be scientifically linked to climate change.
Silent Mutations Gave the Coronavirus an Evolutionary Edge
We know that the coronavirus behind the COVID-19 crisis lived harmlessly in bats and other wildlife before it jumped the species barrier and spilled over to humans.
What Fuels the Beating Heart? Study Reveals Nutrients Used by Normal and Failing Hearts
A team led by scientists in the Perelman School of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania has produced a detailed picture of fuel and nutrient use by the human heart. The study, published this week in Science, was the first of its kind, involving the simultaneous sampling of blood from different parts of the circulatory system in dozens of human participants, in order to record the levels of related molecules going into
