Storms that change the landscape on barrier islands may devastate human infrastructure, but they can also create opportunities for wildlife to thrive.

Some people may oppose disaster preparedness spending because it "only seems worthwhile to those personally affected by extreme weather events."

"About 30% of the surface water sites we tested had levels of bacteria that would have made those waters unsafe for swimming."

Soundscapes of coral reef ecosystems can recover quickly from severe weather events such as Hurricane Irma in 2017, according to a new study.

Hurricane Irma killed many more people in nursing homes in Florida than officials counted, report researchers.

Machine learning could improve forecasts for hurricanes. The method could help save lives by giving people earlier warnings about severe storms.

The first study to demonstrate evolutionary response to hurricanes on a wide geographic scale focuses on anoles and the size of their toepads.

Mangrove trees, which grow in coastal waters and have dense and stable root structures, may be one useful tool for staving off damage from hurricanes.

The 2020 hurricane season will see 18 to 22 named storms forming in the Atlantic basin, researchers report.

A new algorithm that predicts almost real-time flow of floodwater during hurricanes could improve emergency response and planning.
