Markets have been on a rocky ride all year on concerns another recession looms. Here are a few lessons we can learn from the last one.
More than half of the remaining habitat for Queensland’s southern black-throated finches is potentially subject to mining development. If these mines go ahead, it will be bad news for these birds.
Our homes harbour hundreds of species of insects and their relatives.
The Paris agreement has given us some solid targets to aim for in terms of limiting global warming. But that in turn begs a whole range of new scientific questions.
Tasmania’s bushfires have hurt not only the state’s forests, but also the honey industry that depends on access to the region’s unique trees.
Dave West from the environmental group Boomerang Alliance told Fairfax that if you’ve got an average seafood diet in Australia, you’re probably ingesting about 11,000 plastic pieces a year. Is that right?
Ocean acidification will hurt some parts of the Great Barrier Reef more than others.
Bats can carry some of the deadliest diseases known to affect humans and yet they don’t seem to get sick. So what can we learn from a bat’s immune system?
If we can solve the privacy issues, placing trackers on people and the things we make can teach us a great deal about ourselves and the world around us.
Researchers at CSIRO and University of Queensland have developed an app called Harlie that is designed to chat with humans.
Homebuyers want energy-efficient homes. The challenge is to present the relevant information in a way that taps into the typical house-hunter’s mindset.
Every year homes are lost in bushfires. But what if we build our houses to withstand fire?
We’re going to have to adapt to climate change, but some of the options on the table could do more harm than good if they destroy the ecosystems that protect us.
New data analysis shows bushfires have increased by 40% in the past five years.
Constant, complex changes in cities and mine sites are hard to monitor. Drawing on digital aerial photography, it’s now possible to track land-use and vegetation changes in areas as small as 10-20cm.
The Great Barrier Reef might get all the attention, but what about our western coral reefs? Warmer waters and human impacts mean these reefs are in trouble.
Next time you reach for the honey, spare a thought for the other vital insects that pollinate our crops.
Astronomers think they may have found evidence within our galaxy of some of the missing matter thought to make up our universe.
2015 was the world’s hottest year ever by a long shot. But what drove the record temperatures, and what role did climate change play?
