Distant Oceans May Help Predict Malaria Risk in Malawi
A new study finds that ocean temperatures thousands of kilometers away shape soil moisture in Malawi, offering a potential tool for forecasting malaria outbreaks months in advance.
Tracking Penguin Poop from Space Reveals Antarctica’s Changing Ecosystems
Long-term records documenting the colors of penguin guano shed light on how declining sea ice may be affecting penguin diets.
The Role of Tidal Wetlands in the Global Nitrogen Cycle Under Global Change
A new study of tidal wetland data highlights their capacity to sequester nitrogen (blue nitrogen), a function that could be weakened or even reversed by wetland area loss.
The Hidden Costs of Mining River Sand
River sand and gravel fuel global construction, but their extraction is reshaping rivers, ecosystems, and communities faster than sustainable management can keep pace.
Why Healthy Soils Matter More Than Ever
Soil degradation threatens food security, water resources, biodiversity, and climate resilience. A new article explores its causes, impacts, monitoring methods, and restoration solutions.
Students Enable Widespread Water Monitoring in India
High school students and other volunteers monitored water for pollutants just as well as professionals.
For the Birds: Solar Panels over Peatlands May Increase Avian Biodiversity
A new study finds an unusual mix of bird species thriving in a German solar park built on degraded peatland.
Calculating the Costs of Wetland Loss
Wetlands protect communities and ecosystems from flooding. A new study quantifies their financial importance.
A Satellite-Based Global Carbon Flux Product is Sensitive to Droughts
A parsimonious ecosystem model constrained by data from NASA’s Soil Moisture Active and Passive mission generates a global daily carbon flux product that is highly sensitive to drought and pluvial events.
Amid USFS Upheaval, Utah and Colorado Are Burning
The fires come in the wake of historically low amounts of snow in the American West, as well as organizational changes at the U.S. Forest Service.
