Scientists at four leading Illinois research institutions, three in the Chicago region, are forming a new collaboration to study the effects of drought on urban trees and develop more effective drought response strategies nationwide through a grant from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA).

‘Flash droughts’ have become more frequent due to human-caused climate change and this trend is predicted to accelerate in a warmer future, according to new research involving the University of Southampton.

Like many animals in the far north, snowshoe hares change their coats from brown to white each autumn.

During August 2019, more than 40,000 tourists visited Hawai`i’s Molokini island to snorkel or dive. 

Streamflow is increasing in Alaskan rivers during both spring and fall seasons, primarily due to increasing air temperatures over the past 60 years, according to new CU Boulder-led research.

New computer science study offers a radical new way to think about agriculture and its potential benefits for farming.

The amount of dissolved oxygen in a river is a matter of life or death for the plants and animals living within it, but this oxygen concentration varies drastically from one river to another, depending on their unique temperature, light and flow.

Natural disasters can devastate a region, abruptly killing the species that form an ecosystem’s structure.

For tiny salamanders squirming skin-to-soil, big-picture weather patterns may seem as far away as outer space. But for decades, scientists have mostly relied on free-air temperature data at large spatial scales to predict future salamander distributions under climate change.
