Climate change in the Antarctic
A colossus is thawing
If it melts, numerous cities could be flooded: The Thwaites Glacier has an important braking function in the Antarctic. An expedition team is now reporting worrying measurement results.

Wenn er schmilzt, könnten zahlreiche Städte überflutet werden: Der Thwaites-Gletscher hat eine wichtige Bremsfunktion in der Antarktis. Jetzt meldet ein Expeditionsteam besorgniserregende Messergebnisse.

How Do Woodpeckers Survive Repeated High-Impact Shocks Without Brain Injury?
Slamming a beak against the trunk of a tree would seem like an activity that would cause headaches, jaw aches and serious neck and brain injuries. Yet woodpeckers can do this 20 times per second and suffer no ill effects.
A Prairie Flower That Flourishes With Fire
Research over two decades on prairie land in western Minnesota shows how controlled burns encouraged a plant to generate seeds.
Purple coneflowers, also known as echinacea angustifolia, produce more seeds in years following fires, the new study shows, not just because there are fewer competitors for resources, but because a fire “also changes the mating opportunities,” said Stuart Wagenius, a conservation scientist at the Chicago Botanic Garden. Dr. Wagenius, who led the research, tracked a 40-hectare plot, or nearly 100 acres, of prairie land in Minnesota for 21 years as part of the Echinacea Project.

Where America's Climate Migrants Will Go As Sea Level Rises
13 million U.S. coastal residents are expected to be displaced by 2100 due to sea level rise. Researchers are starting to predict where they’ll go.
