SeaSplat is an image-analysis tool that cuts through the ocean's optical effects to generate images of underwater environments reveal an ocean scene's true colors. Researchers paired...
Large shifts in UV radiation at Lake Tahoe are associated with wet and dry climate extremes, finds a new study.
New research reveals mountain glaciers across the globe will not recover for centuries -- even if human intervention cools the planet back to the 1.5 C...
A team has created the most complete map of the world's rivers ever made offering a major leap forward for flood prediction, climate risk planning, and...
A new study examined associations between diet, drinking water, and 'legacy' PFAS -- chemicals that were phased out of production in the US in the 2000s...
Biologists and chemists have a new programming language to uncover previously unknown environmental pollutants at breakneck speed -- without requiring them to code.
El Nino-Southern Oscillation (ENSO) is known to have a significant impact on climate across the Pacific, including Hawai'i, and adjacent continents. However, atmospheric scientists have now...
Engineers have taught a simple submarine robot to take advantage of turbulent forces to propel itself through water.
