A current system in the Atlantic Ocean that shapes regional climates and distributes ocean nutrients also serves as a control knob to help regulate temperatures across the planet, new research has found.

Researchers from University of California San Diego and University of California, Berkeley have found that certain landscapes surrounding California communities are associated with differing rates of Valley fever, a fungal respiratory infection caused by inhaling spores carried in windblown dust.

Synthetically engineered marine bacteria accelerate natural bioweathering with potential for decarbonizing the atmosphere at industrial scales.

Different cover crops may affect how plants can defend themselves against pests — including attracting more insects that eat harmful caterpillars, according to a new study led by researchers at Penn State’s College of Agricultural Sciences.

Forests support much of the world's biodiversity and play a vital role in regulating Earth's climate, but they are increasingly exposed to drought.

When Drew Bouchie (CAS’24) and his classmates enrolled in “Marine Physiology and Climate Change,” as part of the Boston University Marine Program (BUMP) “Marine Semester” in November 2023, they had no idea it would lead to a published study.

An El Niño of historic proportion is taking shape in the tropical Pacific. 

Study identified diagnoses not typically considered heat-related, like traffic accidents, multiple sclerosis.

They live in some of the most inaccessible waters on Earth, where ocean temperatures hover around freezing. 

Unlike conventional glaciers, rock glaciers appear as piles of rock that obscure large masses of unaccounted-for ice.
