Grasshoppers that overwinter as juveniles have a head start on those that emerge in the spring.

New research reveals the surprising ways atmospheric winds influence ocean eddies, shaping the ocean’s weather patterns in more complex ways than previously believed.

When hurricane-force winds whipped through Los Angeles County in early January 2025, the hills had ample fuels available to feed a wildland fire.

For decades, rockhounds gathered each year at Searles Lake in the Mojave Desert of southeastern California. Wielding crowbars and pickaxes, they hunted for showy deposits of minerals such as halite, trona, calcite, and dolomite.

To understand how warming could impact Antarctica, experts are looking to the past, to a time more than 100,000 years ago when the Antarctic was around 3 degrees C warmer than it is now.

Zaps of static electricity might be a wintertime annoyance, but to certain scientists, they represent an untapped source of energy.
