A new analysis published in the journal Frontiers in Ecology and the Environment shows that the world’s protected areas (PAs) are experiencing major shortfalls in staffing and resources and are therefore failing on a massive scale to safeguard wildlife.

NASA’s Aqua satellite used infrared light to analyze the strength of storms in the developing low pressure area designated as System 91L as it moved through the Gulf of Campeche just  north of Mexico’s Yucatan Peninsula.

Climate change, population growth and urbanisation are instrumental in increasing exposure to extreme temperatures.

Lake Garda has not yet revealed all of its secrets. This attractive tourist destination, unique for its physical and environmental characteristics, is also a case study for several international research teams.

System 91L is an area of tropical low pressure located in the Bay of Campeche. On June 3, when NASA-NOAA’s Suomi NPP satellite passed the western Gulf of Mexico, it captured an image of the storm that showed its extensive reach.

An ample buffet of freshwater food, brought on by climate change, is altering the life history of one of the world’s most important salmon species.

Atmospheric carbon dioxide continued its rapid rise in 2019, with the average for May peaking at 414.7 parts per million (ppm) at NOAA’s Mauna Loa Atmospheric Baseline Observatory.  

Salmon species, known for undertaking arduous upstream migrations, appear to owe a good deal of their athletic ability to the presence of a single enzyme.

After conducting a comprehensive, seven-year survey of Patagonia, glaciologists from the University of California, Irvine and partner institutions in Argentina and Chile have concluded that the ice sheets in this vast region of South America are considerably more massive than expected.
