During an unprecedented scientific campaign on an Antarctic glacier notorious for contributions to sea-level, researchers took first-ever images at the glacier’s foundations on the ocean floor.

Scientists from The University of Texas at Austin report in the journal Science that they have developed a new strategy to protect honey bees from a deadly trend known as colony collapse: genetically engineered strains of bacteria.

A team of scientists has observed, for the first time, the presence of warm water at a vital point underneath a glacier in Antarctica—an alarming discovery that points to the cause behind the gradual melting of this ice shelf while also raising concerns about sea-level rise around the globe.

Drastic ecosystem interventions like eradicating an unwanted species can sometimes backfire, but new University of Queensland-led modelling may help to avoid these ecological hiccups.

Flowering plants are better pollinated in urban than in rural areas. 

When we think of climate change, we tend to think about greenhouse gases, fossil fuels and pollution. 

The puzzling features are most easily seen from above, but they pose real risks at the surface.

Research indicates microplastics may be associated with fishing activities.

Robotic kayaks were used to track meltwater.
