WSU Biologist Finds Genetic Mechanism that Enables Fish to Live in Toxic and Acidic Water

A Washington State University biologist has found the genetic mechanism that lets a fish live in toxic, acidic water. The discovery opens new insights into the functioning of other “extremophiles” and how they adapt to their challenging environments.

LMSU Meteorologists Find Decrease in Moscow’s Aerosol Pollution

Aerosols of the atmosphere are one of the most important factors influencing the level of radiation in the upper and lower layers of the atmosphere, and hence - the whole climate. However, the optical properties of the aerosols all over the world are not broadly studied yet.

Plastics Debris Could Better Transport Foreign Species across Oceans with the Help of Barnacles

The smooth surfaces of much of the plastic waste rapidly increasing in the ocean appear to provide poor habitat for animals -- that is, until barnacles step in.

Series of Aerofoil-Shaped Panels Could Help Avoid Pollution Caused by Departing Aircrafts

A series of aerofoil-shaped panels downwind of an airport runway could break up the plumes of exhaust gases from departing aircraft, preventing those gases from staying near the ground and so dispersing them more quickly.

Fish Populations across the World's Oceans Contaminated with Persistent Organic Pollutants

A new global analysis of seafood found that fish populations throughout the world's oceans are contaminated with industrial and agricultural pollutants, collectively known as persistent organic pollutants (POPs). The study from researchers at Scripps Institution of Oceanography at UC San Diego also uncovered some good news¾concentrations of these pollutants have been consistently dropping over the last 30 years.

Study Assesses Effects of Artificial Light on Nesting Patterns of Sea Turtles on Florida Beaches

Newly published research that started as a high school science project confirms that the density of sea turtle nests on Florida beaches is reduced where artificial lights along the coast deter nesting females.

New Study Shows Mercury Levels in Rainfall Increasing at Many North American Sites

An analysis of long-term trends in the amount of mercury in rainfall and other forms of precipitation in North America found recent increases at many sites, mostly in the center of the continent. At other sites, including those along the East Coast, mercury levels in rainfall have been trending steadily downward over the past 20 years.
