Across North America, seed production patterns in eastern and western forests are responding differently to climate change, new research suggests.

Researchers used low-cost remote sensing technology to produce multispectral vegetation indices and 3D photomosaics of the vegetation in a tallgrass prairie, comparing aerial estimates of biomass with direct measurements taken in the field.

Encroaching on wildlife and natural habitats has made us vulnerable to deadly pandemics such as COVID-19.

Nearly 70 4th and 5th graders from Durham’s Morehead Montesorri Magnet School got an inside look at 91ÉçÇø¸£Àû’s renowned Superfund Research Center – and what it’s like to be a scientist there – thanks to a virtual field trip earlier this month led by two of the lab’s researchers.
