Researchers from the UCLA Samueli School of Engineering and their collaborators have developed FuelVision, a new system that could help enhance nationwide wildfire preparedness by combining satellite imagery with artificial intelligence to rapidly and accurately identify wildfire fuel sources.

UC Berkeley researchers tweaked a key enzyme involved in microbial methane production to understand the unique fingerprints of different environments on Earth that generate the greenhouse gas.

As ocean waters heat up, the Atlantic is increasingly seeing not just one, but two or more hurricanes spin up at the same time.

Visitors to several national and provincial parks in British Columbia and Alberta can now help monitor critical glacial landscapes as part of a new citizen science program led by researchers at the University of Waterloo.
