A turquoise tint for the Black Sea caused by phytoplankton
The Black Sea sits at the boundary between Europe and Asia and connects to the Mediterranean Sea via a chain of waterways. Its surface often appears dark, but each spring and summer it transforms into a striking expanse of swirling turquoise. The OCI (Ocean Color Instrument) on N
Students' climate model of deadly July 4 Texas flooding suggests sea surface temperatures
Last fall, the 12 students in the Jackson School of Geosciences' GEO 347G "Climate System Modeling" class set out to understand something that hit close to home: What were the climatological factors that made the July 4, 2025, rainstorm in Central Texas so severe? What they disco
Beetle-like borings in 70-million-year-old titanosaur fossils reshape Lo Hueco fossil stor
Traces or perforations caused by living organisms after an animal's death can be found on various dinosaur bone remains. These perforations, known as bioerosion structures, provide information that helps us understand relationships between living organisms in the past, reconstruc
ROS-producing enzymes guide plant cell division and tissue patterning, gene-editing study
Reactive oxygen species (ROS) produced naturally during cellular metabolism often cause oxidative damage to cells. However, these molecules also play an important role in normal cellular signaling. While ROS are established as essential signaling molecules in various organisms, t
Climate change to blame for intensity of Europe heat wave: Scientists
Human-caused climate change is "unequivocally" responsible for the intensity of a record-breaking heat wave scorching Europe, scientists said Friday.
Why some trees might fall during extreme heat
Scientists are studying how trees respond to hotter, drier conditions caused by climate change. O recorte ajuda a contextualizar a pauta dentro de Agro.
Compliant farmers could face fewer inspections under new pollution proposals
The latest draft Nutrients Action Policy caused controversy when it was initially launched last year. O recorte ajuda a contextualizar a pauta dentro de Agro.
Hawaiian short-eared owl deaths in Hawaiʻi primarily caused by vehicle collisions
Trauma from vehicle collisions caused the majority of documented deaths for the Pueo (Hawaiian short-eared owl), according to a statewide study led by researchers at the University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa. The findings represent the most extensive mortality assessment to date for thi
Understudied enzyme helps S. aureus pathogen prosper, study finds
A new study published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences has offered insight into how Staphylococcus aureus, a major human pathogen, fine-tunes its internal machinery to survive stress and potentially cause infection. The research uncovers new details about th
Why Europe's rising plant diversity may signal habitat disruption, not ecological recovery
The number of plant species in many ecosystems in Europe has grown rather than shrunk over the last 100 years. However, this is not necessarily cause for celebration, as this local increase is primarily due to generalists and non-native species, which compete with the original na
Video games are helping players imagine the realities of climate migration
While many people migrate because of social and economic inequalities, forced migration is caused by political conflicts, lack of access to food and—increasingly—a lack of access to water.
