UCI and other scientists say Californians must learn to live within the state’s new climate
Children with better academic and behavioral functioning when they start kindergarten often have better educational and societal opportunities as they grow up. For instance, children entering kindergarten with higher reading and math achievements are more likely to go to college, own homes, be married and live in higher-income neighborhoods as adults. A new study points to the […]
Ancient Chinese practice lowers blood pressure, may lessen stroke, heart disease risks
Researchers from the University of California, Irvine and NASA have uncovered a remarkably strong link between high wildfire risk in the Amazon basin and the devastating hurricanes that ravage North Atlantic shorelines. The climate scientists’ findings appear in the journal Geophysical Research Letters near the 10th anniversary of Hurricane Katrina’s calamitous August 2005 landfall at New Orleans.
Study by UCI sociologist is first to tie low natal weight to biological, social factors three generations deep
Novel detection method co-developed at UCI ensures that drinking water sources are not compromised by algae blooms
UCI Earth system science researchers Yang Chen and Jim Randerson, along with NASA colleagues, are predicting an above-average wildfire risk in the eastern Amazon region and an average to below-average fire risk in the western Amazon for the upcoming dry season.
Stacked in gravity-defying arrangements in the western San Bernardino Mountains, near the San Andreas Fault, granite boulders that should have been toppled by earthquakes long ago resolutely remain. In exploring why these rocks still stand, researchers have uncovered connections between Southern California’s San Jacinto and San Andreas faults that could change how the region plans for future earthquakes.
Coastal Synechococci from the New England shelf thrive in high- and low-iron waters by using different sets of proteins for iron uptake and storage, but a Synechococcus strain from the open Atlantic Ocean does not have this protein-based response and must make tough choices.
