A natural alternative to pesticides may be hiding in a misunderstood plant compound — but it could come at an environmental cost.

To build healthier food systems, we need better food data. A new research shows where the gaps are—and how innovations like PTFI are helping to close them.

In response to recent devastating wildfire seasons in Alberta, a new tool is helping communities in the province determine, reduce and better manage their risk as forecasts suggest these events will become more frequent.

Methane emissions from Canada’s non-producing oil and gas wells appear to be seven times higher than government estimates, according to a new study led by researchers at McGill University.

Every year during the growing season, thousands of pilots across the country climb into small planes loaded with hundreds of pounds of pesticides and fly extremely close to the ground at upward of 140 miles an hour, unloading their cargo onto rows of corn, cotton, and soybeans.

Scientists with the Smithsonian’s National Museum of Natural History have discovered that a bacterial probiotic helps slow the spread of stony coral tissue loss disease (SCTLD) in already infected wild corals in Florida.

A new study published last week in Nature Communications reveals that rising levels of atmospheric moisture caused by climate change are expected to dramatically increase the frequency and intensity of “atmospheric rivers” over Antarctica – long, narrow plumes of warm, moist air that can travel thousands of kilometres and deliver intense precipitation.

Wind energy is an important tool for reducing carbon emissions. Hundreds of thousands of wind turbines now operate globally, and despite recent challenges in some countries, analysts predict that wind power capacity could grow tenfold by 2050.

For the first time, researchers have demonstrated in an intact plant a long-contested process that allows some plants to rebound from extended drought.

One of Earth's most common nanomaterials is facilitating breakthroughs in tackling climate change: clay.
