Pakistan is in a tough spot when it comes to weather. It's a dry place with scorching temperatures and not much rain. This makes it super sensitive to climate change. The country's weather is all over the place, making it hard to predict what's coming next. To get a better handle on things, researc
The relationship between climate and how plants and insects interact is a hot topic in ecology. Many assume that warmer, more stable climates at lower latitudes boost these interactions. This, in turn, could speed up evolution and make plants better at defending themselves against bugs. However, not
Wisconsin's political landscape shifted significantly with the Wisconsin Supreme Court election. The Associated Press announced Dane County Judge Susan Crawford as the winner. Her strong performance in key Democratic areas secured her victory. This win maintains the liberal-leaning majority on the
In the last 500 years, house mice have made themselves at home across the Americas. During this time, they have shown remarkable adaptability. One of the most noticeable changes is in their body size. This shift is not just about genetics. The environment, especially what they eat, plays a big role.
In the vast, icy reaches of the Bellingshausen Sea, a unique event unfolded. In January 2025, a colossal iceberg, roughly the size of Chicago, detached from the George VI Ice Shelf. This wasn't just any iceberg; it was a natural curtain lifting to reveal a hidden world beneath. The exposed seafloor
A colossal iceberg, roughly the size of Chicago, recently detached from the George VI Ice Shelf in Antarctica. This event exposed a seafloor that had been hidden under 209 square miles of ice. A group of scientists on the Schmidt Ocean Institute’s research vessel, R/V Falkor (too), were in the Belli
As the wind howls and the skies darken, residents in the south and southwest suburbs brace for the annual tornado season. This year, however, the familiar sights and sounds of severe weather come with a new twist: fewer eyes in the sky and less data to predict storms. Staff cuts at the Nati
The delicate dance between plants and pollinators, particularly bees, is crucial for many crops. This relationship can be thrown off balance by extreme weather events driven by climate change. These events can alter how much nectar plants produce, affecting the bees that rely on it. So, what happens
Understanding how temperature impacts mosquito populations is crucial. Mosquitoes spread many diseases through their bites, making them a big health concern, especially in warmer parts of the world. Climate change is making this issue even more pressing. Researchers have looked into how temperature
In many Sub-Saharan African cities, urban flooding is a major concern. This issue is made worse by rapid urban growth and climate change. The existing drainage systems in these cities often struggle to handle heavy rainfall. One key factor that makes this problem even worse is the buildup of sedimen
