Unprecedented Climate Shifts Drive Thousands of Greenland’s Lakes Beyond a Crucial Tipping Point, Research Reveals
Following two months of record heat and precipitation in fall 2022, an estimated 7,500 lakes in West Greenland turned brown, began emitting carbon and decreased in water quality in less than a year. The spike in temperatures caused the precipitation to fall as rain instead of snow. The heat also caused permafrost to thaw, releasing

Catastrophic Coral Bleaching Crisis Strikes the Great Barrier Reef
Marine scientists highlights the complex interplay between heat stress, disease onset and coral mortality. They found that 66 percent of the colonies were bleached by February 2024 and 80 per cent by April. By July, 44 percent of the bleached colonies had died, with some coral genera, such as Acropora, experiencing a staggering 95 percent

Discover the Link Between Urban Green and Blue Spaces and Coronary Artery Health
Being near and having more exposure to urban green space and blue (water) space is linked to lower odds of having coronary artery calcification in middle age, which is an early marker of cardiovascular disease. The associations were more pronounced among Black individuals and those living in neighborhoods with lower socioeconomic status, with the strongest
Mastering Autoimmune Regulation: The Power of Supportive Allies in Health
Researchers determined the Foxp3 protein is actually a cofactor, hijacking DNA-binding proteins responding to the immunological environment of the T cell. Based on the type of response needed, different factors are expressed, which is the driving force for Foxp3 to suppress an immune response. The protein Foxp3 is vital to the function of immune cells
Printed Soil Sensors: Revolutionizing Farming for Maximum Crop Yields in Wisconsin
University of Wisconsin--Madison engineers have developed low-cost sensors that allow for real-time, continuous monitoring of nitrate in soil types that are common in Wisconsin.
