Ocean Wilderness Areas Key To Sustaining Fish Populations

Remote ocean wilderness areas are located more than four hours from people and more than nine hours of travel distance from urban markets

Extreme Weather Changes Predicted By Unprecedented Model Simulations

There is growing public awareness that climate change will impact society not only through changes in mean temperatures and rainfall over the 21st century, but also in the occurrence of more pronounced extreme events, and more generally in natural variability in the Earth system

Apollo Sample Reveals New Information On Moon’s Evolution, Cooling

Sophisticated analysis of a rock sample taken from the Moon during the Apollo 17 mission nearly 50 years ago revealed new information about the complex cooling and evolutionary history of the Moon.

Discharge Of Precious Groundwater Impacted By Sea Level, Ocean Tides

Groundwater is a vital resource for humans and ecosystems. Submarine groundwater discharge is a process by which water exits coastal aquifers and enters the ocean

Puakō Sewage Runoff Leads To Wastewater Treatment Plant Recommendation

Puakō, on the west side of Hawaiʻi Island, is in great need of a wastewater treatment plant, according to a team of researchers at the University of Hawaiʻi at Hilo studying the impact of local sewage systems on coastal water quality.

Elusive Atmospheric Molecule Produced In A Lab For The 1st Time By UH

Flame Retardants Linked To Autistic-Like Behavior

UC Riverside-led study shows maternal transfer of PBDEs causes brain changes in female mice offspring

GPT-3 Informs and Disinforms Us Better

Compared to humans, artificial intelligence (AI) language models produce accurate tweets that are easier to understand and tweets containing disinformation that are harder to detect, according to a recent study from the University of Zurich. While these results can be leveraged to create more effective information campaigns, they also highlight the need to mitigate the risks connected to AI.
