In a new study evaluating the impact of the FjordPhyto citizen science program, survey data showed that travelers visiting Antarctica expressed an appreciation for learning about ecosystems and climate change while feeling enriched by citizen science engagement.
The National Academy of Sciences (NAS) has announced that University of California San Diego Professors Russell Impagliazzo, Cornelis Murre and Elizabeth Winzeler have been selected as new members. NAS membership represents one of the most distinguished honors for U.S. scientists and engineers.
China will need to generate more than half of its power from wind and solar by 2035 to align with global climate goals, according to new research led by the University of California San Diego. The study offers timely recommendations to meet the country’s forthcoming climate commitments.
Sterols are among the most abundant lipids in eukaryotic cells, yet are synthesized through notoriously long, complex metabolic pathways. Researchers from UC San Diego have used a novel approach to show how they interact with other lipids that help cells self-organize.
Researchers at UC San Diego have developed a gel using nano-particles that slowly release some of coral larvae’s favorite “smells.” When applied to surfaces in lab experiments it increased coral larvae settlement by up to 20 times compared to untreated surfaces.
