Scientists have now comprehensively mapped peatlands in England, and their work has revealed that 80% of the country’s peatlands and peat soils have become dry or degraded. Using a combination of satellite imagery and AI technology along with data analysis of existing and new field data, scientists developed a map of peaty soils known as […]
The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) — which has been experiencing massive staff layoffs and funding cuts by the Trump administration — has announced it will stop tracking the cost of climate crisis-fueled weather disasters, including heat waves, floods and wildfires.

In a new study, scientists are raising concerns over exposure to pesticides used on golf courses. According to the research, there could be a link between living within three miles of a golf course and an increased risk of Parkinson’s disease. The study, published in JAMA Network Open, analyzed data from more than 5,500 people […]
Researchers have found that birds, like humans, form friendships with non-relatives over long periods of time. They discovered that, while starlings preferentially helped relatives, they also frequently and consistently aided specific non-relative birds, even in situations where there were relatives available to help. “The fact that humans who are not related by blood help each […]
In the Cerrado — the largest and most plant-diverse savanna in the world — scientists have discovered that just 30 tree species account for almost half of the ecosystem’s trees. The phenomenon is called “hyperdominance” and has major implications for the understanding and conservation of the Cerrado, a press release from University of Exeter said. […]
A new study has revealed that 28 of the most populated cities in the U.S. are sinking, which can increase flood risks and weaken infrastructure. Further, researchers determined that 80% of total sinkage could be attributed to groundwater withdrawal for human use. According to the study, published in the journal Nature Cities, about 34 million […]
The carbon footprint of the world’s wealthiest 10 percent has been responsible for two-thirds of global heating over the past 35 years, new research has found. The planet’s rapid temperature rise has driven heat waves and drought in the poorest areas of the world. “Our study shows that extreme climate impacts are not just the […]
The 10th annual Our Ocean Conference (OOC) took place from April 28 through April 30 in Busan, South Korea. As a result of the conference, which was the first that the U.S. government did not join, countries committed to investing a total of $9.1 billion toward ocean conservation and restoration efforts.
