Flooding of the Guadalupe River near Kerrville, Texas, on June 5, 2025. Photo: U.S. Coast Guard As the past few weeks have shown, flash floods can develop very quickly in both rural and urban areas, with mild to catastrophic impacts. That’s part of why flash floods are so critical to study, according to Andrew Kruczkiewicz, […]

The book tour for Minority Rule generated the kind of buzz most authors could only dream of. Ash Sarkar’s searing debut illustrates how culture wars keep most of the UK’s population divided.  Buy: Minority Rule: Adventures in the Culture War by Ash Sarkar.  A prominent left-wing journalist, writer, lecturer and political commentator, Sarkar made headlines […]

Flood damage in Kerrville, Texas. Photo: World Central Kitchen Adapted from a press release written by Harrison Tasoff for the University of California, Santa Barbara. Rivers are Earth’s arteries. Water, sediment and nutrients self-organize into diverse, dynamic channels as they journey from the mountains to the sea. Some rivers carve out a single pathway, while […]

Mycorrhizal fungi help regulate Earth’s climate and ecosystems by forming underground networks that provide plants with essential nutrients, while drawing carbon deep into soils. Scientists and conservationists have been racing to find ways to protect these underground fungi, but they keep finding dark taxa – species that are known only by their DNA sequences that […]
Some species of fig trees store calcium carbonate in their trunks – essentially turning themselves (partially) into stone, new research has found. The team of Kenyan, U.S., Austrian, and Swiss scientists found that the trees could draw carbon dioxide (CO2) from the atmosphere and store it as calcium carbonate ‘rocks’ in the surrounding soil. The […]
