1.2-Million-Year-Old Antarctic Ice Core Retrieved
An international team has drilled a nearly 2.8-kilometer-deep ice core in Antarctica, reaching ice at least 1.2 million years old, to analyze Earth's atmospheric and climate evolution and provide insight into Ice Age cycles and the impact of atmospheric carbon on climate change.

Wildfires Transform Soil Chromium into Airborne Carcinogen
Wildfires transform benign chromium in soil into toxic airborne chromium 6, a carcinogen, increasing health risks for nearby communities and firefighters; a study in California found toxic chromium levels seven times higher in burned areas, persisting even after rainfall.

Bigmouth Buffalo Fish: Record Lifespan, Population Crisis
Bigmouth buffalo fish (Ictiobus cyprinellus) in North America can live over 127 years, a record for freshwater bony fish; however, despite successful spawning, almost no young fish survive past summer, threatening the species' survival due to predation, habitat destruction, and possibly other unknow...

Hydroclimate Whiplash: The Cause of Devastating LA Wildfires
A new UCLA study identifies 'hydroclimate whiplash'—rapid swings between intensely wet and dangerously dry weather—as the key factor driving the devastating LA wildfires, resulting in at least five deaths, thousands of destroyed homes, and over 130,000 evacuations.
