For decades, climate science has treated Earth’s shifting crust as a slow, distant backdrop to the drama of global warming.

SAR11 bacteria dominate the world’s oceans by being incredibly efficient, shedding genes to survive in nutrient-poor waters.

Genomic analysis shows SAR11 bacteria, adapted to low-nutrient oceans, lack key cell cycle controls. As conditions change, ...

In some of the driest parts of southern Africa, rock faces hold quiet records of much older worlds. Marble and limestone formations, shaped long befor.

A group of ocean bacteria long considered perfectly adapted to life in nutrient-poor waters may be more vulnerable to ...

A new study finds that a trait helping a marine bacterium survive and flourish today may ultimately become its Achilles Heel as ocean conditions continue to shift.

Common ocean bacteria struggle to divide when conditions change, reshaping how warming seas affect ecosystems.

Scientists have found that ancient Martian lakes could have survived for decades despite freezing air temperatures. Using a newly adapted climate model, researchers showed that thin, seasonal ice ...

When Chad Raines took over his family’s Texas cotton farm in 2008, he thought the going would be easy. That’s because their first year was relatively profitable — but the success was short-lived. “The ...

For decades, scientists believed a major group of ocean bacteria was ideally suited for life in waters with very little food. New research suggests ...

In communities where agriculture is central to local identity and economy, opposition to wind and solar projects is reshaping the pace and location of energy investments.
