A fish-finding expedition not only detects unexpected species but also uncovers a living link to Missouri’s geological past.
Researchers found that some bodies of water have become highly acidic within only a few years.
They’re called rock glaciers, and they might not look like much, but they’ll continue to provide meltwater after the world’s iconic white glaciers are gone.
People who are trying to fish – or manage the ecosystems – in darker waters may need to adapt to different water conditions.
Protecting places that are likely to remain cool and moist as global temperatures rise can save wildlife of all kinds, but first we have to find them.
River heat waves are rising faster than the pace of air heat waves. That’s a problem for fish, drinking water quality, and food and energy production.
A new tool aims to help scientists decode what underwater river sounds really mean.
A ‘brain-eating amoeba’ might sound like a science fiction creature. Unfortunately, it’s real – and while infections are rare, they are usually fatal.
If federal streamgages were bolstered by networks of cheaper monitors run by communities, the results could save lives.
After wildfires in California and Colorado cities, levels of harmful metals in the water jumped. Nature sent up a red flag.
Founded in 1959, the membership group Trout Unlimited has changed the culture of fly-fishing and mobilized members to support conservation. Could its approach work for other social problems?
In Sackett v. EPA, a suit filed by two homeowners who filled in wetlands on their property, the Supreme Court has drastically narrowed the definition of which wetlands qualify for federal protection.

A recent US study found tyre chemicals were polluting rivers and poisoning migratory salmon.
New research published in the journal Nature reveals that more than 1.2 million flow barriers exist on European rivers and that approximately 10% are obsolete.
Mayflies and stone flies are extremely vulnerable to water pollution, which has implications for the larger food chain.
