Extreme floods and severe droughts on the Amazon River have occurred more frequently in the last 40 years.

Marine heatwaves are becoming more frequent under global warming and this is having a significant impact on species' ability to recover.

Tidal flats, also known as mud flats, make up coastal wetlands that protect against destructive powers from the ocean such as waves, tsunamis and hurricanes. 

Researchers at Oregon State University have developed a new way to monitor the danger associated with algae blooms: “sniffing” the water for gases associated with toxins.

In 2022, severe lightning ignited many fires in Alaska.

Novel approach to measuring microbe activity in wetted soil leads to better understanding of vulnerability, researchers report.
