New research co-authored by a Texas A&M scientist analyzed placement of stream gauges that inform important global water datasets.

A forest’s ability to regenerate after devastating wildfires, droughts or other disturbances depends largely on seed production.

Millions of monarch butterflies migrate each fall to a specific cluster of mountain peaks in central Mexico.

When faced with conditions that are too dry, salty, or cold, most plants try to conserve resources. 

During the last ice age, glaciers covered vast portions of North America.

Seagrass beds are un­derwater oases. Now researchers have discovered vast amounts of sugars underneath seagrass meadows. 

Protected areas — such as nature reserves, national parks, and wilderness areas — are essential to conserving biodiversity. 

Coral species exhibit different temperature tolerances. This is in part due to the composition of their microalgae symbionts. 

Waves break once they swell to a critical height, before cresting and crashing into a spray of droplets and bubbles. 

A combination of atmospheric measurements and fine-scale simulations has improved understanding of the modeling anomalies that arise when the model resolution approximates the length scale of turbulence features — an atmospheric simulation problem known as Terra Incognita.
