Careful engineering of low, plant-covered hills along shorelines can mitigate tsunami risks with less disruption of coastal life and lower costs compared to seawalls.

Today and as sea level continues to rise in the future, extreme high tide events cause Honolulu, Hawai‘i’s primary urban center to experience flooding not just from water washing directly over the shoreline, but also from groundwater inundation as the water table is pushed toward the surface, and reverse flow through the municipal drainage system.

Researchers in Oregon State University’s College of Agricultural Sciences have taken a step closer to solving one of nature’s most remarkable mysteries: How do salmon, when it’s time to spawn, find their way back from distant ocean locations to the stream where they hatched?

The Stillwater Complex in the Beartooth Mountains contains a mineral that closely resembles the most common mineral on the surface of the Moon.

Eyjafjörður is a prime destination for whales, scientists, and tourists.

Disasters that occur in one place can trigger costs in cities across the world due to the interconnectedness of the global urban trade network. In fact, these secondary impacts can be three times greater than the local impacts, a Yale study finds.

Scientists from Heriot-Watt University have revealed that shale gas extraction was geologically challenged by fault networks at all the drill sites attempted in Lancashire.

The area of agricultural land that will require irrigation in future could be up to four times larger than currently estimated, a new study has revealed.

The amount of farmland around the world that will need to be irrigated in order to feed an estimated global population of 9 billion people by 2050 could be up to several billion acres, far higher than scientists currently project, according to new research.

Plastic pollution is an increasingly present threat to marine life and one which can potentially impact your dinner table.
