A field experiment on wild kittiwakes in Alaska reveals how short-term energy demands ripple across the year, with consequences for future reproduction and survival.

Long, narrow bands of moving moisture in the sky, known as atmospheric rivers, contribute to heatwaves in the marine environment, according to a new study published in Nature Communications by researchers from Duke University’s Nicholas School of the Environment. 

A new computer model is one of the first artificial intelligence tools to advance scientific discovery in agriculture and biogeochemistry and is 50 times more efficient than its predecessors, according to a study that offers a proof-of-principle for how AI might be used to shed light on obscure biological processes.

Tyre particles and potentially toxic tyre chemical additives have been found in dust collected from Brisbane residential balconies.

Scientists have found evidence of microplastics and nanoplastics in remote soils of Antarctica.

Streams are abruptly acidifying and turning orange or milky-white across vast regions of North America’s northwest.

Most of the carbon released during Canada’s record-breaking 2023 wildfire season came from burning soil and peat, rather than trees, according to new research from McMaster University.

The use of small, controlled burns to clear out flammable underbrush has saved thousands of giant sequoias from devastating wildfires, new research finds.

New research led by University of Hawai‘i (UH) at Mānoa atmospheric scientists found that the century-old yardstick used across many industries to estimate air-conditioning and refrigeration energy demand — called cooling degree days — is missing something fundamental.

As artificial intelligence (AI) drives a global surge in data centres in Canada and around the world, a less visible but increasingly urgent challenge is growing alongside it.
