Thanks to the consistent and focused efforts of researchers and conservationists to save, then reintroduce, mountain yellow-legged frogs to lakes in Yosemite National Park, their populations are again thriving. A remote lakeshore deep inside Yosemite National Park teems with life: coyotes, snakes, birds, tadpoles, frogs. The frogs are at the heart of this scene, which
Researchers have discovered meter-high chimneys on the floor of the Dead Sea. These are formed by the spontaneous crystallization of minerals from groundwater with an extremely high salt content flowing up out of the lake floor, they report. The vents are an important early warning indicator for sinkholes. These subsidence craters form in the area

Planktonic foraminifera are tiny marine organisms, which are essential to the ocean's carbon cycle. A recent study reveals that these populations are shrinking at an alarming rate due to ocean warming and acidification. Elevated CO2 levels and thus acidifying waters are making it harder for these single-cell organisms to form their shells, putting their survival

System, potentially leading to the development of new insecticides. This breakthrough in understanding the mosquito's biology could revolutionize the fight against mosquito-borne diseases. Stay tuned for more updates on this groundbreaking discovery!
Formation processes through a study conducted in a pristine peatland. The investigation aimed to understand atmospheric particle formation in an environment with minimal human influences, shedding light on historical climate conditions. The study's findings have the potential to contribute to our understanding of pre-industrial air quality and the impact of human activities on aerosol formation
Common, it's crucial to understand the limitations of using fans for cooling. This study highlights the importance of seeking alternative methods for staying cool during extreme heat, and emphasizes the need for further research and innovation in this field
Influence people's decisions without restricting their freedom of choice. The study found that strategically placed nudges led to a significant increase in the purchase of ethically produced goods. This suggests that small interventions can have a big impact on consumer behavior, potentially leading to a more ethical and sustainable marketplace
Research has shown that being exposed to environmental carcinogens and experiencing psychological distress are directly related to a decrease in the number of years a person can expect to live happily. Happy life expectancy measures the length of time that an individual can experience emotional wellbeing. This discovery indicates that creating public health strategies aimed at reducing exposure to these substances could potentially result in longer and happier lives for people. If bettering your well-being is a priority for you, then taking steps to limit exposure to these harmful elements could be a crucial part of your overall health plan
