Growing up 30 minutes from the ocean meant the beach wasn鈥檛 just a vacation destination鈥攊t was a part of my daily life. My Florida upbringing sparked a deep fascination with the sea and a lasting drive to do what I could to protect it.
Every year on 2 May, World Tuna Day draws attention to one of the ocean鈥檚 most ecologically and economically vital fish species. Tuna fish are more than just a prized catch 鈥� they are apex predators that maintain marine ecosystem balance, support global food security and drive coastal economies.
With World Veterinary Day having been commemorated on 26 April, and Save the Rhino Day coming up on 1 May, this is an opportune time to reflect on the efforts of conservation teams, which include veterinarians, to combat the scourge of rhino poaching.
A $2 million gift from Sam and Carol Nappi to the SUNY College of Environmental Science and Forestry (ESF) will support expanded research into the cause of algal blooms - both harmful (HAB) and non-toxic - can impact recreation, aesthetics, and human health on Skaneateles Lake and its watershed as a living laboratory.
Some public transit shelter designs can actually do more harm than good when it comes to shielding from summer temperatures, according to a study led by UTHealth Houston.
One of the largest university-affiliate climate awards in the world, the prize is specifically calibrated to support unconventional or first-of-a-kind projects that often have difficulty getting funding.
An international team of scientists has moved beyond just 鈥渟cratching the surface,鈥� to understand how microplastics move through and impact the global ocean. For the first time, scientists have mapped microplastic distribution from the surface to the deep sea at a global scale 鈥� revealing not only where plastics accumulate, but how they infiltrate critical ocean systems.
Climate change is threatening the livelihoods of smallholder farmers across South Asia. In this context, a new study conducted across transboundary regions of Nepal, India, and Bangladesh uncovers the critical factors that influence their ability to adapt. The study reveals that adaptive capacity (AC) depends on a combination of land access, financial resources, and community networks, and knowledge of climate-resilient agricultural practices. The findings show that, while each country faces unique challenges, shared barriers such as unreliable weather information, limited infrastructure, and financial constraints are holding back smallholder farmers. These insights provide a crucial foundation for shaping targeted adaptation policies and improving resilience in vulnerable farming communities.
A thorough understanding of insect physiology and ecology can influence sustainable farming practices throughout Africa in the future. This idea formed the basis of the recent inaugural lecture delivered by Professor Christopher Weldon, an entomologist in the Department of Zoology and Entomology at the University of Pretoria (UP).
Led by Drs. Mijeong Han and Young Hun Kang at the Korea Research Institute of Chemical Technology (KRICT), the team combined carbon nanotubes with Bi鈧�.鈧勨倕Sb鈧�.鈧呪倕Te鈧� (BST) in a porous foam structure to maximize thermoelectric performance.
Junior Veronica Richmond was recently named a Truman Scholar, a selective award granted to students who are committed to a future career in public service.
Developed at SLAC鈥檚 synchrotron, SSRL, the method could help make those electrochemical conversions more robust and efficient and can be applied to studying a wide range of energy technologies.
A new thermal treatment technique being developed by researchers at the University of Miami College of Engineering could help destroy per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances in soil, leading to the potential demise of 鈥渇orever chemicals.鈥�
In this piece Prof Mmantsae Diale of the Department of Physics at the University of Pretoria, highlights the significance of International Earth Day (22 April) in promoting renewable energy, with a focus on South Africa鈥檚 rapidly growing solar power sector as a sustainable solution to energy challenges.
In the first-ever scientific exploration of its kind in Bhutan, a team of researchers and forest rangers led by NAU assistant research professor Jut Wynne is uncovering how large and small animals use caves, how many yet-to-be-discovered species insects and spiders live inside and how Bhutanese communities can preserve the caves鈥� delicate ecosystems for future generations.
The global energy system may be faced with an inescapable trade-off between urgently addressing climate change versus avoiding an energy shortfall, according to a new energy scenario tool developed...
A research team led by Dr. Ju-Yul Lee and Dr. Seil Kim from the Energy & Environment Materials Research Division at the Korea Institute of Materials Science (KIMS) has developed the world鈥檚 first eco-friendly silver (Ag) plating technology using a phosphorus (P) compound as a key plating component.
Those who climb indoors are doing something for their health. But climbing shoes contain chemicals of concern that can enter the lungs of climbers through the abrasion of the soles. In a recent study, researchers from the University of Vienna and EPFL Lausanne have shown for the first time that high concentrations of potentially harmful chemicals from climbing shoe soles can be found in the air of bouldering gyms, in some cases higher than on a busy street. The results have been published in the journal Environmental Science and Technology Air.
Thousands of hectares of Chornobyl-affected farmland, long deemed too dangerous for cultivation in northern Ukraine can safely return to production, according to new research.
The Korea Institute of Machinery and Materials (President Seog-Hyeon Ryu, hereinafter referred to as KIMM) has developed a compact, rapid pretreatment system capable of liquefying and homogenizing solid biological samples in under one minute. This innovation simplifies the analysis of specimens that are traditionally difficult to process, offering a new diagnostic platform that complements the predominantly liquid-based landscape of in vitro diagnostics (IVD).
