New research unlocks the mystery of New England's beaches
Until now, the factors governing which beaches slope gradually to the sea and which ones end abruptly in a steep drop-off have been largely unknown. However, new research reveals, with unprecedented detail, how the grain size of beach sand relates to the slope of the beach itself. These new findings are critical to understanding how New England's beaches will respond to both rising sea levels and increased storm activity. -

Women who lose close elections are just as likely to run again as men
(Harvard Kennedy School) New research finds women who lose local or state elections are just as likely to run for office again as men, suggesting the recent surge in women candidates may have a long-term impact on women's political representation. Political scientists Rachel Bernhard of UC-Davis and Justin de Benedictis-Kessner of Harvard Kennedy School found no evidence of a gender gap in candidates' responses to losing a race. Their study was published today in the Proceedings of the National -
