Marine heatwaves aren’t just on the surface. They can be at their most destructive when they sweep along the seafloor.
Zimbabwe’s climate action plan is on track to check emissions and promote development. Other countries can learn from it.
Pulverised fuel ash can be recycled and used to manufacture concrete as well as other products.
Tall. Straight. Abundant flowers. And a stunning trunk. What’s not to like about the spotted gum?
Australia’s grid will likely get through this angry summer without falling to pieces. But our market operator is worried about the summers after that.
Introduced species and diseases can drive native species into smaller environmental niches – and that could mean change to how we work to conserve them.
