Rensselaer researcher links aquatic deoxygenation with the broader stability of Earth’s systems.

Lakes, with their rich biodiversity and important ecological services, face a concerning trend: rapidly increasing temperatures. 

Forests have been embraced as a natural climate solution, due to their ability to soak up carbon dioxide from the atmosphere as they grow, locking it up in their trunks, branches, leaves, and roots.

Strong winds sweep over the Rhön, a vast region of rolling, forested hills and pastureland in central Germany. Undeterred, Stefan Zaenker, leading a group of four volunteers, runs through his checklist alongside a forest road.

U.S. Forest Service ecologists and partners published new findings on how planted mangroves can store up to 70% of carbon stock to that found in intact stands after only 20 years.

Researchers at the University of Jyväskylä have found that the key to a quick and cost-effective mapping of biodiversity has been right in front of our eyes all along, but at the same time invisible, i.e. in the air that surrounds us.

In summer of 2022, a research cruise detected a massive harmful algal bloom (HAB) in the Bering Strait region of western Alaska. 

Soil carbon is like a large reservoir that can keep carbon out of the atmosphere.

As climate change advances, the ocean’s overturning circulation is predicted to weaken substantially.

Coral reefs, those vibrant underwater cities, stand on the precipice of collapse.
