Birds, raccoons and other predators can eat only so many of them. So the more cicadas emerge together, the better the odds that more will live on to reproduce and pass along their genes. “They have the safety-in-numbers strategy,” said Chris Simon, a professor of ecology and evolutionary biology at the University of Connecticut who studies the insects. The...
A climate academic has warned of a potential “competition” for water that could one day emerge between householders and farms.
In the intersection of science, technology, politics, and human survival, the conversation around climate change continues to evolve.
More than 2.4 billion workers — or 70% of the global workforce — are
It is a commendable declaration, but how courts deal with subsequent cases will be the real test.
As the effects of climate change come knocking at American doors, experts say U.S. lawmakers can no longer rely on crisis response measures and must take action.

Can chatbots provide accurate information about the dangers of climate change? Well, that depends on a variety of factors including the specific topic, location being considered, and how much the chatbot is paid, according to a group of Virginia Tech researchers.
In honor of Earth Month, forthcoming research from the Center for Sustainable Futures and insights from innovative teacher preparation offer strategies to battle one of the most significant crises of our time
Earth System Models—complex computer models that describe Earth processes and how they interact—are critical for predicting future climate change. By simulating the response of our land, oceans and atmosphere to manmade greenhouse gas emissions, these models form the foundation for predictions of future extreme weather and climate event scenarios, including those issued by the UN Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC).
