Animated maps of sea level rise: the Isthmus of Panama during the last 26,000 years
September 11, 2020
These maps dramatically illustrate how rising sea levels completely altered the shape of Panama’s coastline, creating islands and submerging large areas of land.
Hungry megaherbivores
How do Giraffes and Elephants alter the african savanna landscape?
September 15, 2020
Through their foraging behavior across the diverse topography of the African savanna, megaherbivores may be unknowingly influencing the growth and survival of vegetation on valleys and plateaus, while preserving steep slopes as habitat refugia.
Mysterious living monuments
How will the biggest tropical trees respond to climate change?
March 30, 2021
Scientists think that climate change may have greater impact the largest trees in tropical forests, and the death of these giants has a major impact on the forest, but because these monumental trees are few and far between, almost nothing is known about what causes them to die.
