Modeling study suggests vigorous ventilation can cause spike in viral concentrations

High-throughput biochemical assays targeting a vital viral protein identified one molecule out of more than 13,000 with promising antiviral activity against SARS-CoV-2.

Principles derived from coastal wetlands to describe wetland channel cross-sections were applicable to the Columbia River estuary, but not the tidal river.

An updated version of a widely used database will provide powerful insights into the global carbon cycle.

Variability in field measurement conditions likely does not impact estimates of an important flux in the global carbon cycle.
