“Dicamba drift” — the movement of the herbicide dicamba off crops through the atmosphere — can result in unintentional damage to neighboring plants. 

Built to help scientists understand how dust affects climate, the Earth Surface Mineral Dust Source Investigation can also pinpoint emissions of the potent greenhouse gas.

Described as the "future of agricultural research," the facility features robotics and sensor technology.

As physical links between the ground and the sky, plants play an important role in shaping Earth’s weather and climate.

Food insecurity is a growing problem in certain parts of the world, especially as climate change affects weather conditions around the globe. 

In an age of industrialized farming and complex supply chains, the true environmental pressures of our global food system are often obscure and difficult to assess.

The timing of when plants flower, fruit and reach other stages in their life cycle, impacts ecosystems around the planet.

New research finds that flooding can affect food security for over 5.6 million people across several African nations.

Wheat yields in the UK have largely been resilient to varying weather over the past 30 years.

Measurements from EMIT, the Earth Surface Mineral Dust Source Investigation, will improve computer simulations researchers use to understand climate change.
