When it comes to wildfires, the story may seem straightforward: As forests burn, they release greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, and methane that warm the planet. But in the far northern parts of North America, wildfires don't always follow the same script. In a new study published in Nature Geoscience, researchers found that forest fires in Alaska tend to have a warming...

On the eastern, arid side of the Andes, the plains of southern Argentina stretch from the mountains to the Atlantic coast. The landscape often appears dry and brown, interrupted by colorful glacier-fed lakes, but a storm in early April 2026 blanketed swaths of the land in white. The MODIS (Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer) on NASA's Terra satellite captured this image of the snowy Patagonian Desert on the morning of April 3.

Take a tour through volcanic history on the edge of the Sierra Nevada near Mammoth Lakes, California. Between the tall granite peaks to the west and the Basin and Range province to the east, overlapping volcanic complexes imprint the landscape with a collection of craters, cones, and calderas. The area, still restless today, draws interest from geologists studying Earth's processes and from planetary scientists exploring its commonalities with volcanic terrain elsewhere in our solar system.

Last Friday, President Trump released the fiscal year 2027 President's Budget Request. What we are seeing is devastating, and it demands a forceful response. As our policy team details on The Bridge, this budget is largely a repeat of last year's proposal, but repetition does not soften the blow. NASA's Science Mission Directorate is cut by nearly half its budget.

Because they are used in everything from cosmetics to dental floss to nonstick pans, per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are frustratingly abundant in our environment, including in our food, rain, and drinking water. They're persistent, too, earning their nickname "forever chemicals," and have been linked to health effects ranging from cancers to liver toxicity to reduced fertility.

Florida is among the wettest U.S. states, but that doesn't mean it is drought-free. Nearly all of Florida faced at least "moderate" drought, and nearly 80 percent faced "extreme" conditions in April 2026, according to data from the U.S. Drought Monitor. Unusually dry conditions gripped the state for much of 2025, but the intensity and extent of the drought ratcheted up starting in January 2026.
