HEALTH & ECOSYSTEMS ARCHIVE
Sea Turtles, Shrinking Beaches, and Rising Seas
A new study looks at how sea turtle nesting sites may be affected as sea levels rise and sandy beaches erode.
Tracing the Eruption History of a Volcano in a Tourist Hot Spot
Sediment cores extracted from deep under the Aegean Sea reveal the timing of explosive eruptions of Kolumbo Volcano and a potential link to neighboring Santorini.
Global Observations Reveal Rapid Reorganization of Ocean Nutrients
Data reveal that changes in nutrient levels vary depending on depth and distance from shore—and that these changes are happening more quickly than scientists realized.
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.
When the Snow Melts, Microbes Bloom
A new study illuminates a complex and changing world of microbes and nitrogen cycling that occurs during the winter.
How to Accelerate Advances in Ecological Forecasting
Developing shared cyberinfrastructure can enhance predictions of ecological change and enable improved decisionmaking for resource management and public well-being.
New Method Could Improve U.S. Forecasting of West Nile Virus
An innovative model uses regional climate data and records of West Nile virus neuroinvasive disease to outperform existing forecasts, potentially helping communities prepare.
Restored Peatlands Could Become Carbon Sinks Within Decades
That’s much faster than what most scientists thought.
Making a Map to Make a Difference
A new study highlights the partnership between scientists and nonscientist community members in building an interactive GIS map to show flooding risk in a Superfund site.
Coastal Wetlands Restoration, Carbon, and the Hidden Role of Groundwater
Coastal wetland restoration offers major carbon benefits, and understanding groundwater processes helps explain how these ecosystems store carbon over the long term.
