Rising sea surface temperatures threaten tropical coral reefs, as these ecosystems are sensitive to a changing environment.

By documenting hundreds of new nectar plants for painted ladies, scientists have renewed hope these charismatic butterflies may prove resilient to climate change.

We rely on climate models to predict the future, but models cannot be fully tested as climate observations rarely extend back more than 150 years. 

The number of trout in a southern Oregon stream system showed no decline one year after a fire burned almost the entire watershed, including riparian zone trees that had helped maintain optimal stream temperatures for the cold-water fish.

Researchers from Nagoya University in Japan have reported that nitrate accumulated in soil bordering streams plays an important role in the increase of nitrate levels in stream water when it rains.

Several cities on the west coast of Florida lost much of their electric power for days after the storm.

A group of Texas A&M researchers has identified behavioral and physiological changes in ants disturbed by development and urban sprawl.

Accurately modeling extreme precipitation events remains a major challenge for climate models.

Spring came early this year in the high mountains of Gilgit-Baltistan, a remote border region of Pakistan.

How can we boost the resilience of the world’s coral reefs, which are imperiled by multiple stresses including mass bleaching events linked to climate warming?
