Seagrass beds are un­derwater oases. Now researchers have discovered vast amounts of sugars underneath seagrass meadows. 

Protected areas — such as nature reserves, national parks, and wilderness areas — are essential to conserving biodiversity. 

Coral species exhibit different temperature tolerances. This is in part due to the composition of their microalgae symbionts. 

Waves break once they swell to a critical height, before cresting and crashing into a spray of droplets and bubbles. 

A combination of atmospheric measurements and fine-scale simulations has improved understanding of the modeling anomalies that arise when the model resolution approximates the length scale of turbulence features — an atmospheric simulation problem known as Terra Incognita. 

Researchers will soon be able to reconstruct the climate of north-west Europe including the UK over the last 4500 years, and to date wooden buildings and objects more accurately, by analysing the chemistry of ancient oak trees, through a new Swansea-led project just selected for €3 million in European funding.

The outer-core size of tropical cyclones (TCs) is vital for evaluating their destructive potential. 

Human-caused climate change will make strong tropical cyclones twice as frequent by the middle of the century, putting large parts of the world at risk, according to a new study published in Scientific Advances. 

It doesn’t come on fast. It may take weeks to notice. You have the newly recharged lithium-ion AA batteries in the wireless kitty water fountain, and they last two days. 

According to a new study led by the ICM-CSIC, this could lead to a destabilisation of the global climate system, an intensification of storms in specific areas, and an acceleration of ice melting at the poles.
