Dolphins separate social areas from hunting grounds, study reveals
A study found that dolphins along Florida's Atlantic coast use distinct underwater areas for socializing and for feeding. Researchers used an acoustic wave glider to collect data.
India’s landfills risk toxic liquid contamination of soil and water
Leachate, a toxic liquid from decomposing waste, threatens India’s soil and groundwater. Landfills like Ghazipur and Bandhwari show contamination and containment failures, highlighting management gaps.
Himalayan floods overwhelm early warning systems due to changing patterns
Rapidly shifting flood patterns in the Hindu Kush Himalayas, including riverine floods and glacial lake outburst floods, are overwhelming existing early warning systems and preparedness measures.
Australia could face $855 billion in sea-level rise economic losses, study says
A new study estimates that rising sea levels could cause Australia $855 billion in economic losses by 2100, potentially damaging hundreds of thousands of properties and millions of hectares of land.
Endangered dolphins persist in heavily polluted Bangladesh river
At least 20 endangered Ganges river dolphins survive in Bangladesh's Buriganga River, despite pollution levels that have eliminated native fish. Researchers observed active reproduction among the dolphin groups.

Delhi saw only one ‘Good’ air day during monsoon despite heavy rain
An analysis by the Centre for Science and Environment found Delhi had just one 'Good' air quality day in 92 monsoon days. Despite significant rainfall, pollution rebounded rapidly after rain events.
Nepal Glacier Collapse: Climate Change and Development Linked to Himalayan Tragedy
A glacier collapse triggered a devastating flash flood in Nepal, causing over 1400 deaths. Researchers link the event to climate change-induced glacier melt and unsustainable development practices in the fragile Himalayan region.
