Severe floods devastated southwestern India. And it’s not just because of the monsoons.

Floods in southwestern India have killed more than 350 people and stranded thousands since monsoon season arrived earlier this summer. Northeastern civil and environmental engineering professor Auroop Ganguly says the destruction is as much a consequence of irresponsible construction and harmful environmental practices as the result of a natural disaster.

3Qs: What sparked the Tennessee wildfires?

Wildfires raged recently through the foothills of Tennessee’s Great Smoky Mountains, damaging more than 1,400 structures and killing 14 people. Last week, two juveniles were charged with aggravated arson in connection with them. Northeastern's Auroop Ganguly, an expert on climate extremes, notes that the "chain of causality" in such events is complex, with human activity significant but other factors, including climate change, also playing a role.

Climate models suggest major changes in coastal marine ecosystems

By the end of the 21st century, climate change will significantly alter an important oceanographic process that regulates the productivity of fisheries and marine ecosystems, Northeastern researchers report in a new paper in Nature. These changes are likely to influence the geographic distribution of marine biodiversity.
