The Governance Gap Threatening Long-Term Ecological Archives
To save multigenerational science from administrative indifference, we must mandate stewardship continuity before closing physical facilities.
The Global Impact of Losing U.S. Sea Level Science
Cuts to climate science risk halting or even erasing decades of progress in global change research—just as risks from rising seas demand better data, informed decisionmaking, and faster action.
The Genesis Mission Needs Hydrology: Here’s How to Incorporate It
By positioning water security as one of the “most challenging problems of this century,” the Genesis Mission can become the sandbox in which AI reshapes how the United States measures, models, and manages water.
Poor Health and Systemic Inequity Fuel Environmental Harm
Environmental degradation poses well-established risks to human health. But the relationship between the two isn’t a one-way street.
Creating Communities to Help Interdisciplinary Scientists Thrive
Solving complex challenges often requires diverse expertise, but skepticism remains within traditional academic institutions and mindsets regarding interdisciplinary science and scientists.
What Americans Lose If Their National Center for Atmospheric Research Is Dismantled
Five ways dismantling NCAR will cost the American people, and two ways to save it.
When Should a Tsunami Not Be Called a Tsunami?
It’s time to redefine the term so it more clearly conveys meaningful risks to coastal communities and prompts them to act when needed.
