Two new studies from the University of Melbourne will help the largest, most powerful and complex space telescope ever built to uncover galaxies never before seen by humanity.

In an otherwise empty lab on the CU Boulder campus, a musician and a scientist stand 12 feet apart in separate rooms, an open door between them.

Raised beaches around the bay in Canada’s Ontario Province show how the landscape responded after the last ice age.

The site in Western Australia holds one of the country’s largest and oldest iron ore mines.

Texas A&M researchers are identifying the best methods for reducing the risk of wildfires.

About 40% of the U.S. population lives in a coastal area and in Hawai‘i, nearly everyone is vulnerable to the effects of tropical storms and hurricanes.

The brownish-grey algae that darken the Greenland ice sheet in summer cause the ice to melt faster, but only recently have scientists measured these blooms in the field, and only at few sites. To measure algal blooms across large regions and understand their effects on melting over time, scientists are now turning to space.

Concentration of dinitrogen oxide – also referred to as nitrous oxide – in the atmosphere increases strongly and speeds up climate change. In addition to CO2 and methane, it is the third important greenhouse gas emitted due to anthropogenic activities.

A new study provides strong evidence that exposure to light pollution alters predator-prey dynamics between mule deer and cougars across the intermountain West, a rapidly growing region where nighttime skyglow is an increasing environmental disturbance.

Food waste is one of the most important issues of current food systems: Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) has estimated that more than one third of food is either lost or wasted along the entire food supply chain causing significant economic, social and environmental impacts.
