Abrupt climate changes during the Last Glacial Period, some 115,000 to 11,700 years ago, happened at the same time across a region extending from the Arctic to the Southern Hemisphere subtropics, new research has revealed.

As world temperatures rise, the rate at which plants in certain regions can absorb carbon dioxide is declining, according to University of Queensland research.

The Hawaiian tiger cowrie (Leho-kiko in Hawaiian) is a voracious predator of alien sponges such as the orange keyhole sponge, which can overgrow native corals and has become a concern as it spreads across reefs in Kāneʻohe Bay, Oʻahu. 

Earth’s tropics are expanding poleward and that expansion is driven by human-caused changes to the ocean, according to new research.

Policy reforms and technological improvements could drive seafood production upward by as much as 75% over the next three decades, research by Oregon State University and an international collaboration suggests.

Researchers at the University of Hawai‘i (UH) at Mānoa’s Hawaiʻi Institute of Marine Biology (HIMB) have just discovered that the Hawaiian tiger cowrie (Leho-kiko in Hawaiian) is a voracious predator of alien sponges such as the Orange Keyhole sponge, which can overgrow native corals and has become a concern as it spread across reefs within Kāneʻohe Bay.

Organisms need to work together to adapt to climate change, especially in the presence of competitors, suggests a new study published today in eLife.

NASA-NOAA’s Suomi NPP satellite provided forecasters with a visible image of the landfall of Tropical Storm Higos on Aug. 18.

NOAA and World View Enterprises are teaming up to take a uniquely detailed look at the composition of Earth’s stratosphere.

The researchers established conclusively that penguins arose in the cool coastal regions of Australia and New Zealand, not frigid Antarctica, as many scientists thought.
