A New Math Trick Could Tell Us Which River Deltas Can Outrun Rising Seas
A new research formula aims to predict how river deltas can build (or lose) land as seas rise—helping planners judge whether channel diversions will save coastlines.

A new formula aims to predict how much land river deltas can build or save—so channel diversions and coastal restoration aren’t just expensive guesswork.
Ethanol’s Early-2000s Gold Rush Didn’t Stop at Gas—It Jacked Up Midwest Farmland
Ethanol’s early-2000s boom pushed corn up to 31%—and farmland values up to 44% in producing states, pricing out would-be buyers.
Ethanol’s Early-2000s Gold Rush Sent Midwest Farmland Prices Through the Roof
Ethanol’s early-2000s boom didn’t just change fuel blends—it helped drive corn up 31% and farmland up 44% in producer states, per SDSU.
The Emu Doesn’t Fly for One Brutally Simple Reason: Its Chest Bone Never Got the Memo
Emus don’t fly because their breastbone never grows a real “keel,” the ridge that anchors flight muscles—and that fate is set in the embryo.
Climate disasters are starting to “team up”—and CO2 is the match that lights the fuse
Climate extremes are increasingly arriving in combos—heat + humidity, drought + heat—and a Nature-backed study ties their rise to cumulative CO2.
