When we talk about climate adaptation, conservation or sustainability, we often assume that resilience is something everyone wants. The logic seems straightforward: Stronger resilience means better protection from floods, droughts, heat waves and ecological disruption. But what happens when communities resist projects that are explicitly designed to make them more resilient?

But in the mountains of southern Brazil, that's exactly what you can find. On this highland plateau, far from Amazonia in the country's coldest region, grows one of the world's most intriguing ecosystems.

Drought develops slowly, which can make it difficult for the public to recognize an ongoing drought. Governments rely on the media to communicate drought risks and encourage water conservation. However, it has remained unclear how much drought-related news actually contributes to water-sa… Phys.org — Environment tag feed · 13 Jul 2026 Research & science Summer Creative Writing Camp sparks imagination for more than 800 Greater Houston students - Rice University Rice University News · 13 Jul 2026 Research & science This microbiologist endured a four-year court battle over COVID-19 tests - Nature Nature subject feed — Environmental Sciences · 13 Jul 2026 Research & science Rights for rivers and ice cream for all: top reads for the summer holidays - Nature Nature subject feed — Environmental Sciences · 13 Jul 2026 Research & science Study finds carbon capture and storage could help curb emissions from AI-driven data center boom - Rice University Rice University News · 13 Jul 2026 Research & science The Family Tree of Viruses Just Grew – and It Paves the Way for a New Approach to Agricultural Research Researchers have discovered that a group of viruses known to infect an agriculturally important plant pathogen has remained genetically stable for an astonishing four decades.

The debate frequently centers on droughts, floods, declining crop productivity and heat stress affecting livestock systems. This is largely because agriculture is a sector that's directly exposed to extreme weather events. Phys.org — Environment tag feed · 13 Jul 2026 Research & science Chemists make elusive carbon-bridged sandwich molecule once thought too strained to exist Progress in chemistry is often gradual, with some of its most important advances taking years—sometimes decades—to unfold. A case in point is the discovery of a novel "ferrocenophane" from the class of compounds known as "sandwich molecules"—so named because of their particular structure. In a ferrocenophane, the "bread slices" are two carbon rings that enclose an iron atom as the sandwich "fil… Phys.org — Materials Science tag feed · 13 Jul 2026 Research & science Design, simulate, refine: simulation-guided clinical trials for accelerated drug development - Nature Nature subject feed — Environmental Sciences · 13 Jul 2026 Research & science University of Exeter appointed as founding member of the Defence Universities Alliance The University of Exeter has been recognised as one of the UK’s leading institutions in...
