Long-term studies by citizen scientists help us understand changes in nature
An environmental engineer who mapped microplastic pollution in three of Pennsylvania’s watersheds explains what it means for our health.
Residents in remote communities at the end of the power grid have long struggled with unreliable power. But change is coming
If you’re a tiny prawn, barramundi or rare sawfish in a northern Australian gulf, you can’t easily swim south to escape the heat.
