When it comes to adapting to the effects of climate change, scientists and policymakers are thinking too small, according to a new research review.

The U.S. East and Gulf Coasts differ in how ocean and atmospheric circulation and sea level interact to produce storm surges, and both regions will experience greater storm surges as global warming progresses, according to new research from a University of Arizona-led team.

A team of scientists led by Oak Ridge National Laboratory found that while all regions of the country can expect an earlier start to the growing season as temperatures rise, the trend is likely to become more variable year-over-year in hotter regions.

A new study published by The BMJ adds to evidence that rosiglitazone – a drug used to treat type 2 diabetes – is associated with increased risk of heart problems, especially heart failure.

A new, battery-free sensor can detect water leaks in buildings at a fraction of the cost of existing systems.

More frequent and intense rainfall events due to climate change could cause more landslides in the High Mountain Asia region of China, Tibet and Nepal, according to the first quantitative study of the link between precipitation and landslides in the region.

Research suggests ancient volcanic eruptions may not have been the only cause of past mass extinctions.

The Operational Wave and Water Level (OWWL) model has been developed by the University’s Coastal Processes Research Group.

When entrances to caves and mines — essential roosting places for bats — are blocked to prevent people from going inside, the gates often include a pipe to allow bats to access their roosts.

Engaging civil society and policy makers is essential for the future and mutual well-being both of people and insects.
