Two Nasa planes took flight from Cape Town last week as part of a project with South African scientists aimed at improving understanding of the impacts of climate change on biodiversity and to reduce biodiversity loss and threats.

The circular, chalky plates of marine algae E. huxleyi can act as catalysts for viral infection and are key to Earth's carbon cycle.

As global warming melts away Arctic sea ice, polar bears are scrambling to find ice on which to hunt. But Greenland’s fjords harbor a small but unique group of polar bears that rely on glacial ice.

The machine learning’s new algorithm contains a unique formula, allowing the prediction of how lake ecosystem responds to climate change.

Earth’s ocean supports communities, economies, and ecosystems – but as the climate changes, Earth observations are more important than ever to help decision-makers understand and respond to new threats to these resources. A new paper shows how satellite data can help protect the $2 trillion “blue economy.”

A research institute for the government of Colombia is now incorporating a satellite-data-based biodiversity monitoring system into its conservation practices.

Ecosystem managers can create species protection plans with a new tool that may help identify the tipping point before vulnerability occurs.

 E-Mail IMAGE: New research can help ecosystem managers identify species vulnerabilities and prevent populations from becoming at risk, like the endangered Mexican gray wolf. view more  Credit: U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service More than 3,000 animal species in the world today are considered endangered, with hundreds more categorized as vulnerable. Currently, ecologists dont have reliable tools to predict when a species may become at risk. A new paper published in Nature Ecology and Evo...
