Science

Advances in knowledge about climate change and the effects of warming on our world and way of life.

In Chernobyl, a Ukrainian technician in 1998 checked a spot with a Geiger counter in the forest outside the damaged nuclear plant, which burned in a wildfire in 1992, six year after the worst nuclear accident in history. The fire burned 667 acres. As a consequence, the radioactive fallout was released in smoke aerosols and transported various distances while radioactive ashes remained on the site.

A diver checks the coral reefs of the Society Islands in French Polynesia. on May 9, 2019 in Moorea, French Polynesia. Major bleaching is occurring on the coral reefs of the islands in French Polynesia. The marine biologist teams from the Centre for Island Research and Environmental Observatory, specialists in coral ecosystems, are working on “resilient corals.” The teams identify, mark and perform genetic analysis of corals that are not impacted by thermal stress. They then produce coral cuttings which are grown in a “coral nursery” and compared to other colonies to study the resilience of the corals. (Photo by Alexis Rosenfeld/Getty Images).
