Hydraulic fracturing for oil and gas production can trigger earthquakes, large and small. A new approach to managing the risk of these quakes could help operators and regulators hit the brakes early enough to prevent nuisance and reduce the chance of property damage and injury.

In order to find new ways to transmit and process information, scientists have begun to explore the behavior of electronic and magnetic spins, specifically their resonant excitations, as information carriers. In some cases, researchers have identified new phenomena that could help eventually inform the creation of new devices for spintronic and quantum applications.

The Eastern Pacific Ocean’s hurricane season may not officially start until mid-May, but the first tropical cyclone of the season formed over the weekend of April 25 and 26.

As the novel coronavirus has emerged and spread around the globe, science writer David Quammen has not been surprised.

Citrus greening disease, also called huanglongbing (HLB), is a bacterial infection of citrus trees that results in small, misshapen and sour fruits that are unsuitable for consumption.

New research by an international team of scientists reveals that endangered North Atlantic right whales are in much poorer body condition than their counterparts in the southern hemisphere.

Collaborate research of the University of Jyväskylä and the Natural Resources Institute Finland on salmonid fishes, sheds light on animal defence mechanisms and their interactions.

Nitric oxide (NO) is a pollution gas that plays an important role in tropospheric chemistry.

While the human world is reeling from one pandemic, there are several ongoing epidemics that affect crops and put global food production at risk.

In a Policy Forum, “Dissolved oxygen and pH criteria leave fisheries at risk” published in the April 24 issue of the journal Science, Stony Brook University’s Dr. Christopher J. Gobler, Endowed Chair of Coastal Ecology and Conservation, and Stephen J. Tomasetti, Science Teaching and Research to Inform Decisions (STRIDE) fellow, consider accumulating scientific evidence on the harmful effects of coastal hypoxia (low oxygen) and acidification (decreasing pH, increasing acidity) in coastal ecosystems and suggest approaches that would address current policy shortfalls and facilitate improved protection of aquatic life.
