Palm Oil, Soy and Coconut Drive More Species Loss Than Thought

A new study from ETH Zurich reveals that everyday oil crops — including palm oil, soybean and coconut — are responsible for far more species extinction than previously understood, with rich nations outsourcing much of the environmental damage to tropical regions.

Temperate Regions Now Losing Species Faster Than Tropics, Study Finds

A sweeping new analysis of more than 5,100 species found that temperate regions are losing local populations to climate change at a faster rate than the tropics — a finding that caught even the researchers off guard.

UK Rivers Face Dangerous Climate Whiplash, New Study Warns

A sweeping new study of nearly 700 UK river catchments reveals that climate change is dramatically increasing the risk of rapid swings between flooding and drought — a pattern scientists call hydroclimatic whiplash — with serious implications for water management nationwide.

Hidden Pollutants Drive 15% of Global Warming, New Study Finds

A landmark study published in Science reveals that a class of pollutants largely absent from global climate frameworks is responsible for about 15% of current human-caused warming. Researchers say fixing this blind spot could be a major lever for slowing climate change.

How Leaf Silicon and Heat Tolerance Shape Forest Herbivory

A large-scale study of 61 woody plant species across China has upended assumptions about why some plants suffer more insect damage than others. Leaf silicon content and heat tolerance — not just toughness — turn out to be pivotal factors.

Pet Dogs Can Help Detect Spotted Lanternfly Egg Masses

A new study from Virginia Tech found that ordinary dogs trained by their owners detected spotted lanternfly egg masses more than twice as often as experienced human searchers in densely vegetated areas. Researchers say community dog-handler teams could become a powerful early-detection tool.

Global Study Finds Small Reservoirs at High Sedimentation Risk

A sweeping new global study finds that reservoir sedimentation is quietly eroding water security for billions of people, with small reservoirs — largely overlooked until now — facing the steepest risks. More than half of all reservoirs worldwide could be functionally degraded by 2060.

Mangrove Forests Are Bouncing Back — Here’s Why It Matters

Mangrove forests, long among the world's most endangered coastal ecosystems, are staging a surprising global recovery. A new study using four decades of satellite data finds the net loss is far smaller than once feared — and that gains are now outpacing losses.

Antarctic Ice Sheet Sensitivity Surged 1 Million Years Ago

Researchers in South Korea have found that the Antarctic ice sheet became dramatically more responsive to climate forcing after a key shift in Earth's ice age cycles roughly one million years ago. The discovery has fresh implications for predicting future sea level rise.

Bitcoin Mining Forks Are Wasting Energy at Record Levels

A new study from University College London reveals that inefficiencies built into Bitcoin's proof-of-work mining system are wasting staggering amounts of energy — and the problem has grown dramatically over the past decade.
