Researchers investigate the combined effect of drought and fire on stream communities, highlighting the importance of headwaters

Bacteria can help clean the groundwater. The choice of the right food for them is determined by the temperature.

Researchers have developed a model that can calculate individual countries' carbon dioxide emissions from fossil fuel burning using observations from space.

The months-long rainy season, or monsoon, that drenches northwestern Mexico each summer, reaching into Arizona and New Mexico and often as far north as Colorado and Northern California, is unlike any monsoon in the world, according to a new analysis by an earth scientist from the University of California, Berkeley.

Scientists at the University of Tsukuba used a sophisticated set of experimental tests, including synchrotron X-ray scattering and quantum computer modeling, to study the effect of temperature on the structure of magnesium carbonate. 

Reliable early NOAA forecasts helped safeguard communities

Changes will happen decades earlier than previously thought
