The study, published yesterday in the journal Ecology Letters, analyzed the species richness and the structure of their communities throughout the different…
The Terra satellite flew over the volcano on June 6 at 14:25 UTC (10:25 a.m. EDT). The Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) instrument…
Located about 425 miles south of Acapulco, Mexico, System 91E is in a good spot for development: warm sea surface temperatures and low wind shear. Those are…
“We looked at the PETM because it is thought to be the best ancient analog for future climate change caused by fossil fuel burning,” said Lee R. Kump,…
Moisture and heat fluctuations from the land surface to the atmosphere form a critical nexus between surface hydrology and atmospheric processes, especially…
There are two low pressure areas in the Caribbean Sea for future development into tropical cyclones, although the chances are near zero for one, and minimal…
The pristine state of unpolluted waterways may be their downfall, according to research results published in a paper this week in the journal Geophysical…
The alga, called Didymo for Didymosphenia geminata, does so with a little help from its friends — in this case, bacteria– which allow it to make use of…
