Migratory waterbirds are particularly exposed to the effects of climate change at their breeding areas in the High Arctic and in Africa, according to a new study published in Bird Conservation International.

A world first study within the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park has found limited fishing zones (yellow zones) are still important conservation and fisheries management tools when paired with no-fishing zones.

Water is a scarce resource in many of the Earth’s ecosystems. This scarcity is likely to increase in the course of climate change. This, in turn, might lead to a considerable decline in plant diversity.

A new study provides the first high-resolution observations of warm, northbound water sliding beneath the surface of the cold Beaufort Sea.

Researchers work to map shallow waters with freely available data and cloud computing.

Windy regions high in the atmosphere can transport pollutants like dust or soot thousands of miles around the world and disrupt everyday life for thousands of people.

The West Coast continental shelf is known to host methane bubble streams, formerly thought to be rare.

The new model incorporates historical data from distant meteorological events like El Niño and La Niña, as well as data from multiple locations at several time points.

The Brazilian Amazon rainforest released more carbon than it stored over the last decade – with degradation a bigger cause than deforestation – according to new research.

Humans have significantly altered biodiversity in all climate zones of the Earth. This has been shown by a study now published in "Science".
