Two related and recently published studies by teams led by UCLA Fielding School of Public Health researchers aim to help people make safer choices during wildfires. 

New catalyst could make mixed plastic recycling a reality.

The composition of aquatic plant communities in shallow freshwater bodies, including floating plants, submerged plants and phytoplankton, can have important effects on greenhouse gas production, transport and emissions, according to a new study.

Drivers can now compare the greenhouse gas emissions of different vehicles based on size, usage, powertrain type and even location.

Picture this: You’re stuck in traffic on a summer afternoon, checking the weather app on your phone as dark storm clouds roll in.

A combination of policies could drive the transition to “clean steel” – cutting emissions from a hard-to-decarbonise industry, new research shows.

Many geoscientists get into the field through a love of the outdoors and a chance to escape the city. 

Wildfires release vast amounts of visible pollutants into the atmosphere that darken skies and push people indoors to avoid unhealthy air. 

The American Meteorological Society released its annual State of the Climate report this week, providing a comprehensive overview of global conditions in 2024.

The odds of high-severity wildfire were nearly one-and-a-half times higher on industrial private land than on publicly owned forests, a new study found. Forests managed by timber companies were more likely to exhibit the conditions that megafires love—dense stands of regularly spaced trees with continuous vegetation connecting the understory to the canopy.
