Climate change leaves northern tree swallows more vulnerable than those in the southern US
Tree swallows in the northern U.S. and Canada face the greatest risk from climate change despite responding to temperature the same way as tree swallows in the southern U.S., according to a new study led by Cornell researchers that analyzed nearly 95,000 nests across five decades. The findings, published in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, reveal a critical timing squeeze for tree swallows in the northern half of the United States and Canada, putting them at risk.

New research explains how high temperatures and less oxygen led to a huge loss of marine life millions of years ago. #massextinction
Researchers link the mass extinction of once-dominant marine groups to intolerable heat, diminished oxygen in oceans
A new Stanford-led study offers the clearest picture yet of how some ocean life survived our planet's biggest mass extinction while most animals did not. About 252 million years ago, 96% of marine species and 70% of land animals died off during the PermianâTriassic extinction event, known as the "Great Dying." Not all branches of the evolutionary tree were affected evenly, however.

Some small mountain lakes aren't on the radar but could cause sudden floods as glaciers melt, according to a new study. #glaciallakes
Tiny mountain lakes pose big, overlooked flood risks, new study warns
A new international study involving scientists from the University of Aberdeen has revealed a critical blind spot in global climate risk assessmentsâthe growing danger posed by small alpine lakes formed by glacier retreat and permafrost thaw. Published in Nature Sustainability, the research highlights how these lakes, which are often too small to appear in conventional hazard databases, can still unleash sudden and destructive floods with little warning.
