Researchers at the Martin Luther University Halle-Wittenberg (MLU) in Germany and the Brazilian University of Pará have developed a climate-friendly alternative to conventional cement.

Bees’ flight performance affects their ability to pollinate plants – a crucial service for many of our crops. Now, researchers from Imperial College London have measured the relationship between bumblebee flight performance and surrounding temperature.

Pharmaceutical pollution is found in streams and rivers globally, but little is known about its effects on animals and ecosystems. 

In Baltimore, Maryland, leaky sewage infrastructure delivers tens of thousands of human doses of pharmaceuticals to the Chesapeake Bay every year. 

Evidence of the impact of rising sea level has been found in beach and sand dune movement along the Dutch coastline – indicating that the effect will impact all coastal areas.
