| Drug use beliefs found to be strongest predictor of youth substance use Posted: 22 Mar 2022 12:10 PM PDT What are the most important factors to consider for developing effective drug use prevention programs?

As the world warms, many plant and animal species migrate from their traditional habitats, increasing the likelihood of local and global extinctions. |
| Social media data could help predict the next COVID surge Posted: 22 Mar 2022 12:09 PM PDT New research suggests that a novel, short-term forecasting method, using machine learning and vast, anonymized datasets from social media accounts, significantly outperforms conventional models for projecting COVID trends at the county level. |

| Why groundwater is one of our most precious resources Posted: 21 Mar 2022 07:37 AM PDT From the Murray-Darling system to Great Artesian Basin, 'invisible' underground groundwater is often the only water supply available across the vast majority Australia where its annual contribution to GDP is estimated at more than $6.8 billion a year. However, overuse of groundwater during droughts and aquifer depletion has already seen water crises, including in Australia's 'food bowl' the Murray-Darling Basin (MDB), California and Cape Town in South Africa, with more likely to follow with groundwater management largely reactive and unlikely to avert more crises as climate change accelerates and populations grow. |
