Pui Man Kam and colleagues at ETH Zurich have created a global, open-source system to forecast how many people will be displaced by tropical cyclones.

As atmospheric CO2?levels continue their steady climb, the ocean persistently takes up a quarter of our CO2?emissions, curtailing the pace of climate change. But the ocean does not soak up carbon uniformly. Researchers from ETH Zurich and the University of Exeter, Great Britain, released a new product that uses satellites to map the ocean carbon sink at an unprecedented resolution, offering unique insights into its highly variable nature.

Environmental monitoring is challenging in areas where dense vegetation limits data collection. Researchers have built a new drone that can find its way through branches, just like animals do.

In a new study, two species of bacteria grown in a lab reversed their predator-prey relationship after one species was grown at a lower temperature.

Spring keeps getting earlier, but the timing of leaf fall in autumn has been more of a mystery. For the first time, a study helps solve this mystery by revealing the pivotal role of the summer solstice.

Private finance is crucial for scaling up forest and landscape restoration projects, but a yearly funding gap of over $700 billion for biodiversity conservation hinders progress. A study led by Sara L?fqvist suggests stronger policy mandates, expanded and diversified markets for restoration benefits, and novel financial instruments are needed.
