Wildfire Measurement and Response Strategies
Wildfires are measured in acres, with megafires exceeding 100,000 acres; containment levels indicate control progress, while evacuation orders and warnings prioritize public safety during imminent danger, contrasted with prescribed burns as a preventative measure.

Bacteria Identified as Cause of Pacific Sea Star Mass Die-Off
A decade-long mystery surrounding the mass die-off of over 20 species of sea stars along the Pacific coast has been solved: Vibrio pectenicida bacteria, found in the coelomic fluid of affected sea stars, is the culprit, devastating populations like the sunflower sea star and leading to the loss of a...

Binary Climate Data Presentation Increases Public Perception of Impact
A new study finds that presenting climate change data as binary events (e.g., a lake freezing vs. not freezing) leads to a stronger public perception of its impact than showing continuous trends like temperature increase, as demonstrated through experiments using both real and hypothetical lake data...

Global Farmland Contaminated by Heavy Metals: Up to 17% Affected
A new study finds that up to 17% of global farmland contains excessive levels of heavy metals, impacting food safety and the health of 900 million to 1.4 billion people. The contamination is linked to both natural and human activities, with a significant "metal-rich corridor" spanning from Italy to ...
