Tropical nations worst hit by climate-related fish shifts
Policymakers will need to step up to the challenges caused by significant shifts in fish species distributions caused by climate change. Tropical countries stand to lose the most fish species due to climate change, with few if any stocks replacing…
Satellite image data reveals rapid decline of China’s intertidal wetlands
Using archives of satellite imaging data, a study in Frontiers in Earth Science has conducted the most in-depth study of China’s intertidal wetlands to date and found a 37.62% decrease in area between 1970 and 2015.
Major study shows climate change can cause abrupt impacts on dryland ecosystems
Increases in aridity can damage ecosystems in areas where 2 billion people live
New findings from the Neotropics suggest contraction of the ITCZ
Warmer climate leads to current trends of social unrest and mass migration
Satellite image data reveals rapid decline of China’s intertidal wetlands
A newly published study reports China’s intertidal wetlands have suffered a loss of nearly 40% since the 1970s and calls for new legislation for their protection
5,200-year-old grains in the eastern Altai Mountains redate trans-Eurasian crop exchange
Agricultural crops dispersed across Eurasia more than five millennia ago, causing significant cultural change in human populations across the ancient world. New discoveries in the Altai Mountains illustrate that this process occurred earlier than believed

Sea lions could point the way to monitor riverbed erosion
A recent research study conducted by City, University of London’s Professor Christoph Bruecker and his team, has revealed a novel correlation in the way sealions and rats use their whiskers, which paves the way for the online-monitoring underwater events which…
Forests bouncing back from beetles, but elk and deer slowing recovery
Two words, and a tiny little creature, strike fear in the hearts of many Colorado outdoor enthusiasts: bark beetle. But new research from University of Colorado Boulder reveals that even simultaneous bark beetle outbreaks are not a death sentence to…

Ancient Antarctic ice melt increased sea levels by 3+ meters — and it could happen again
Rising ocean temperatures drove the melting of Antarctic ice sheets and caused extreme sea level rise more than 100,000 years ago, a new international study led by UNSW Sydney shows — and the scientists say we’re headed in that direction again

Coral genes go with the flow further than expected
The southern Red Sea is more readily connected with the Indian Ocean than with the northern Red Sea, according to simulations carried out at KAUST. This helps explain genetic patterns seen in the Red Sea and highlights the need for…

Feeding the world without wrecking the planet is possible
Almost half of current food production is harmful to our planet — causing biodiversity loss, ecosystem degradation and water stress; but as world population continues to grow, can that last?

Slow-motion interplate slip detected in the Nankai Trough near Japan
Tokyo, Japan–Earthquakes are generally thought of as abrupt, violent events that last for only moments. However, movement of the Earth’s tectonic plates is often less sudden and more sustained – slow earthquakes can last for hours, months, or even longer.…
