A first study of its kind outlines an urgent need for larger numbers and better-supported protected area staff to ensure the health of life on Earth.
From San Diego to the Galapagos Islands and beyond, Scripps Oceanography researchers are revealing the mysteries of carbon sequestration in aquatic ecosystems
Researchers use Scripps-developed ocean drifter data to spot 30-year trend
Two-million-year-old DNA has been identified for the first time opening a new chapter in the history of evolution.
Snail that hosts potentially dangerous flatworms found to be widespread
UCLA-led research on deer and elk could point the way toward crossing structures that are more effective for all species
When temperatures reach or exceed 95 degrees, the centers that see the greatest increase in visits are those located near public transit stops.
As the Earth’s climate warms, abnormal heat waves remain an increasingly dire health hazard.
New analyses of volcanic rock samples collected in the 1980s link the geologic histories of these South Pacific islands to explain their current locations and character
As the supersonic solar wind surges towards Earth, its interaction with our planet's magnetic field creates a shock to deflect its flow, and a foreshock filled with electromagnetic waves. How these waves can propagate to the other side of the shock has long remained a mystery.
Almost one fourth of Sweden’s last unprotected old-growth forest was logged between 2003 and 2019. At this rate, all of these ecologically unique and valuable forests will be lost in about 50 years. These findings add to the growing body of evidence for widespread cryptic forest degradation across the global north.
An international group of geologists has demonstrated with computer simulation that huge magma eruptions can initiate deeper below the Earth’s surface than previously believed. Such flood basalt eruptions have caused many global climate changes and great mass extinction events in the past.
Sidewalk grasses demonstrate uneven rebound in air pollution
An ambitious interdisciplinary initiative aims to advance understanding of the processes that trigger earthquakes, tsunamis, landslides, and volcanic eruptions where tectonic plates converge
A warming climate is causing a decline in sea ice in the Arctic Ocean, where loss of sea ice has important ecological, economic and climate impacts
Almost one fourth of Sweden’s last unprotected old-growth forest was logged between 2003 and 2019.
For years, the prevailing belief among climate scientists was that Earth’s tilt was the primary factor in determining seasonal climate in the tropical Pacific.
Climate change is the result of many human activities, from carbon emissions to deforestation, and it will take multiple and varied interventions to mitigate it, including legislation, regulation, and market-based solutions implemented at local, national, and global levels.

A new dataset of intentional disabling of Automatic Identification System devices by fishing vessels provides insights into illegal, unreported, and unregulated fishing activity
