When oxygen becomes scarce, life has a hard time. This is just as true for mountain regions above 7000 meters but also for bodies of water. For example, in

Oxygen-deficient zones in the open oceans shrank during long warm periods in the past, contrary to widespread expectations. This has significant implications for the oceans under human-driven global warming, the researchers suggest, including major impacts on ocean ecosystems.

Research examines—and could help predict—extreme weather events around the world

UChicago scientists create framework for better understanding extreme events

The megalodon, which was the largest shark species to ever live, evolved into an apex predator of the highest level ever measured after the dinosaurs went extinct 3 million years ago. The creature is part of a megatooth shark family, which derives its name from its massive chompers, each of which could be bigger than

Megalodon sharks, which became extinct around 3 million years ago, were apex predators at the greatest trophic level yet observed.

New Princeton research shows that prehistoric megatooth sharks — the biggest sharks that ever lived — were apex predators at the highest trophic level ever measured.

This is the first year the Chicago research group has been able to study winter conditions of the microbial communities and the “Winter Grab” will help bring more awareness to this field of work in the coming years.

When the terms "troubling social trends" and "U.S. colleges" are used in tandem, the first things that come to mind are young-adult vices like binge
