The Colorado State Forest Service is leading the three-phase wildfire mitigation effort in the Douglas County wildland-urban interface.

Research led by Oregon State University shows that fires are more likely to burn their way into national forests than out of them.

They found that greenhouse gas emissions from streams and wetlands at Coweeta could be highly variable.

As the population grew, the conversion of natural landscapes into farmland has become common in parts of the continent.

Organic aerosols (OAs), an important and abundant fraction of the arctic aerosol mass, plays an important role in modulating the radiative balance of the Arctic atmosphere.

The people, economy, and ecosystems of the Pacific coast states of California, Oregon and Washington are highly dependent on cool-season atmospheric rivers for their annual water supply.

The treatment has the potential to mitigate the spread and damage of fires.

The Great Barrier Reef is undergoing its sixth mass bleaching event, as unusually warm waters stress corals, authorities say. 

Tropical peatlands are one of the most efficient carbon sinks. 

A study published recently in Coral Reefs and led by University of Hawai‘i (UH) at Mānoa student researchers revealed that exposing rice coral larvae to warmer temperatures did not improve survival once the coral developed into juveniles and were exposed to heat stress.
