Join us to celebrate a few of the discoveries made in 2018.
How far should we go when paying for natural services? Economic sciences can help us calculate the exact amount
Through the long-term study of different landscapes in the Panama Canal Watershed, and the environmental services they offer, the Agua Salud project aims to use its data to improve human welfare and ensure a more sustainable future throughout the tropics
Long-distance migrations are common for large whales, but when in their evolutionary past did they begin to migrate and why? Fossil whale barnacles may have the answers

As oceans warm and become more acidic and oxygen-poor, Smithsonian researchers asked how marine life on a Caribbean coral reef copes with changing conditions.
Helene Muller-Landau, staff scientist, was invited to write an authoritative review about carbon storage in forests. Her team combed through existing studies and came up with some novel conclusions of their own.
