Despite previous research predicting coral species would move south to cooler waters to protect themselves, the new study – published in Molecular Ecology – has found this may not hold true on the West Coast of Australia.

Researchers from Curtin’s WA-Organic and Isotope Geochemistry Centre (WA-OIGC) have shared the full results of the analysis of seawater samples, collected at 177 locations across the 46,100km voyage, including areas of the Southern Hemisphere not previously tested for microplastics.

A deep dive into the 5,500 marine RNA virus species scientists recently identified has found that several may help drive carbon absorbed from the atmosphere to permanent storage on the ocean floor.

For years, scientists have warned that monarch butterflies are dying off in droves because of diminishing winter colonies.

The mission is expected to help scientists understand the factors driving tropical cyclone intensification and to improve forecasting models.

A team of scientists has developed more accurate forecasts to predict the impacts of wildfire smoke on air quality.

A team of scientists have used satellite data to detect methane plumes from an offshore platform in the Gulf of Mexico.

Thanks to climate change, high-elevation forests in the Central Cascade mountains of the Pacific Northwest are burning more frequently and expansively than in the recent past, prompting researchers and fire managers to question whether forests will be able to recover from these emerging fire patterns and whether they will require human assistance to do so.

A tortoise from a Galápagos species long believed extinct has been found alive and now confirmed to be a living member of the species. 

Astronomers have found only the second example of a highly active, repeating Fast Radio Burst (FRB) with a compact source of weaker but persistent radio emission between bursts.
