Research suggests there were 30 million to 60 million bison in North America in the 1500s. Four hundred years later, roughly 1,000 bison remained, a result of government policies that encouraged killing off the animals, largely to help defeat Indigenous inhabitants and force them onto reservations.

When the Bison Come Back, Will the Ecosystem Follow? Can a cross-border effort to bring wild bison to the Great Plains restore one of the world's most endangered ecosystems?

What the Victorian climate scientist John Tyndall learned from the Alps.

Mountains and Molecules In bringing the insights of the laboratory to bear on observations made in the field, Tyndall was applying the physics of the very small—molecules that shifted under pressure, causing ice to melt—to the motion of the very large: glaciers.
