Freshwater ecosystems account for half of global emissions of methane, a potent greenhouse gas that contributes to global warming. Rivers and streams, especially, are thought to emit a substantial amount of that methane, but the rates and patterns of these emissions at global scales remain largely undocumented.

A recent Nature paper shed light on one of a few lesser-known secrets held by our rivers and streams. Like cows and humans, even our rivers can be gassy.
Do you remember how hot it was in some parts of the US this summer? One day, the ocean water – the ocean water – near Miami was 101 degrees. Global warming isn’t coming – it is here. WXPR Field Notes with Susan Knight
LakeView is an integrated UW lake observatory whose mission is to prepare the scientific community for the next generation of space-based Earth observatories for water quality. NASA missions, scheduled to launch in the next 1-5 years, will generate a new kind of data (hyperspectral imagery) in support of sustainable use of Earth’s natural resources, including lakes.
A new study is highlighting the power of long-term research when it comes to helping scientists understand ecological processes.
Renowned landscape ecologist Monica Turner has been elected to the American Academy of Arts and Sciences in recognition of her decades of contributions to the ecological study of the forests and landscapes in Greater Yellowstone.
When it comes to predictions of how climate change will impact fish populations, a new study has found that several species are ‘swimming upstream’.
In the early months of the COVID-19 pandemic, there was quite a bit of buzz about what came to be called the “anthropause” or the idea that, as humans sheltered in place, Nature got to take a breather while wild animals enjoyed a break from things like traffic noise and crowded trails.
