Century-old corals reveal the Pacific Northwest is acidifying faster than expected

In 1888, researchers aboard the R/V Albatross began the world’s first concentrated marine research expeditions off California’s Pacific coast. The team collected untold plant and animal specimens, including orange cup corals, which they carefully preserved and stored in collections at the Smithsonian Institution. These specimens have now become rare physical evidence of ongoing changes in […]

Another threat to reefs: Microplastic chemicals may harm coral reproduction

As the sliver of a new moon shines over Kāneʻohe Bay, Oʻahu, millions of tiny orbs ascend from a reef and swirl in the water column. These spheres are bundles of coral eggs and sperm responding to lunar cycles and chemical cues in the water that tell them when to fertilize and where to settle […]

Federal judge throws out Trump order blocking development of wind energy

A federal judge has struck down President Donald Trump’s executive order blocking wind energy projects, saying the effort to halt virtually all leasing of wind farms on federal lands and waters was “arbitrary and capricious” and violates U.S. law. Judge Patti Saris of the U.S. District Court for the District of Massachusetts vacated Trump’s Jan. 20 executive order. Saris ruled in favor of a coalition of state attorneys general from 17 states and Washington, D.C., led by New York's attorney general, that challenged Trump’s Day One order that paused leasing and permitting for wind energy projects. The White House says offshore wind projects were given unfair, preferential treatment during the Biden administration.

Coral reefs have stabilized Earth's carbon cycle for the past 250 million years, research reveals

Coral reefs have long been celebrated as biodiversity hotspots—but new research shows they have also played a much deeper role: conducting the rhythm of Earth's carbon and climate cycles for more than 250 million years.

Months after Waters said in an interview that he “couldn’t give a f--k” about Ozzy’s band Black Sabbath, the star’s official shop released a T-shirt taking aim (somewhat literally) at Waters.

Beyond the usual suspect: Nitrogen feeds algae blooms, researchers find

Nitrogen is a bit of a conundrum. In its gaseous form it's the most abundant element in the atmosphere, but few organisms can readily use it. And while all living organisms contain nitrogen, a new University of Vermont study finds that even tiny amounts of nitrogen can fuel cyanobacterial blooms and disrupt lake ecosystems.
