Lightning Strikes the Arctic: What Will It Mean for the Far North?

1 week ago | e360.yale.edu | Nicola Jones

A warmer world is expected to bring more thunderstorms, especially at higher latitudes. Scientists are now reporting a dramatic surge in lightning in the far north and are scrambling to parse how this could affect wildfires, the chemistry of the atmosphere, and Arctic ecosystems.
A Win for Farmers and Tribes Brings New Hope to the Klamath

1 week ago | e360.yale.edu | Jacques Leslie

In the long-contentious Klamath River watershed, an experiment that turned a barley field into a wetland not only improved water quality. It also offered a path forward for restoring populations of two endangered fish species that are of cultural importance to Native tribes. When a field is returned to production after three years under water, weeds and pests have been drowned and soil health is improved.
Cambodian Forest Defenders at Risk for Exposing Illegal Logging

3 weeks ago | e360.yale.edu | Stefan Lovgren

The lush forests that have long sustained Cambodia’s Indigenous people have steadily fallen to illicit logging. Now, community members face intimidation and risk arrest as they patrol their forests to document the losses and try to push the government to stop the cutting. Foreign journalists rarely venture into Cambodia’s imperiled forests.
The ‘Green’ Aviation Fuel That Would Increase Carbon Emissions

1 month ago | e360.yale.edu | Michael Grunwald

The U.S. agriculture lobby has long promoted ethanol for cars. If President Trump’s “Big Beautiful Bill” becomes law, the industry would be given tax credits for producing crop-based fuel for planes, too, despite evidence it would spur deforestation and increase emissions. The European Union specifically excludes the use of crop-based fuels for aviation because its land-use effects are so devastating.

Out of the Wild: How A.I. Is Transforming Conservation Biology

1 month ago | e360.yale.edu | Jim Robbins

Artificial intelligence is being called a game changer for enabling scientists and conservationists to process vast troves of data collected remotely. But some warn its use could keep biologists from getting out in the field with the animals and ecosystems they are studying. Further refinement of A.I. will expand its applications, providing a far more detailed portrait of species being studied. “It really opens what we can study,” Knight said.

China’s Mega Dam Project Poses Big Risks for Asia’s Grand Canyon

1 month ago | e360.yale.edu | Fred Pearce

China’s plans to build a massive hydro project in Tibet have sparked fears about the environmental impacts on the world’s longest and deepest canyon. It has also alarmed neighboring India, which fears that China could hold back or even weaponize river water it depends on. China has announced plans to build the world’s largest hydroelectric project at a remote river gorge in eastern Tibet, an ecological treasure trove close to a disputed border with India.
How Natural Solutions Can Help Islands Survive Sea Level Rise

1 month ago | e360.yale.edu | Lisa Gardiner

Scientists have found that atoll islands with healthy forests and coral reefs are more resilient against rising seas. To shore up vulnerable islands in the Pacific and Indian oceans, experts are working to restore native trees and seabirds and boost the growth of protective corals. Atoll islands will have a better chance of staying above water in the coming decades if their ecosystems are healthy.
