New Cornell research shows how to make offshore wind farms more efficient in the face of impending rapid expansion – crucial information as the U.S. Department of the Interior affirmed White House plans to lease federal waters for several giant arrays of wind turbines along the waters of the East Coast.

Researchers have found the two-year heatwave known as ‘the Blob’ may have temporarily dampened the Pacific’s ‘biological pump,’ which shuttles carbon from the surface ocean to the deep sea where it can be stored for millennia.

The framework supports NOAA Fisheries’ commitment to using the best available science to maintain the health of protected resources, habitats, and managed fisheries throughout the lifecycle of offshore wind energy projects.

A Texas A&M AgriLife study used artificial intelligence to project the genetic profile to which cultivars will need to adapt.

When algae go wild, bad things can happen, especially when those algae produce toxic substances. The ripple effects can be potent and long-lasting.

When a massive wildfire tears through a landscape, what happens to the animals?

Their study, led by the University, cautions that national strategies for replacing fossil fuels with renewables need an integrated approach to energy use and material production – or risk industry being unable to use electricity produced from renewable sources.

Big animals have a big impact on the environment.

As a foundational species, giant kelp (Macrocystis pyrifera) is vital to the ecosystem of the temperate, shallow, nearshore waters where it grows.

Scientists have collected genetic material from the beluga whale that was first sighted in Puget Sound in early October. It indicates that the whale is likely from a large population of beluga whales in the Beaufort Sea, part of the Arctic Ocean north of Alaska.
