Satellite data is helping scientists size up one of the most intense outbreaks of fire and smoke that Oregon and California have seen in decades.

Using the OMPS (Ozone Mapping Profiler Suite) instrument aboard NOAA/NASA's Suomi NPP satellite aerosols are detected and measured in terms of thickness and height of the atmospheric aerosol layer.

Aerosols are tiny solid or liquid particles suspended in the air.

Eating less meat and dairy products in favor of plant-based proteins like those found in grains, legumes and nuts could make a huge difference in how much carbon dioxide reaches the atmosphere, research by Oregon State University shows.

The urgency of reducing single-use plastic in global supply chains has been highlighted by a University of Queensland study in collaboration with the Indonesian Institute of Sciences.

A new study led by a team of University of Minnesota researchers, with CIRES co-authors, provides the first global satellite measurements of one of the most important chemicals affecting Earth’s atmosphere.

Texas A&M School of Public Health researchers tackle the challenges associated with using chlorine to purify water.

The active ingredients found in sunscreen have detrimental effects on freshwater ecosystems, according to new research by University of Alberta biologists.

Pollution and chemical imbalances in water could have an adverse effect on animal behavior, particularly in fish that make their home among the mangrove trees along the Florida coast.

Consider string instruments. Whether strung on a violin, harp or a guitar, the vibration of a string on an instrument creates specific sounds.
