Children playing in a makeshift swimming pool at a colonia in Aqua Prieta, Sonora, Mexico. Scientists examine the growing health concerns related to the fate of hazardous wastes and contaminants introduced into the air, water, and soils of the Borderlands region, as well as pathogens carried by wildlife, domesticated animals, and humans.

Coral atolls develop from reefs fringing volcanic islands. As first hypothesized by Charles Darwin, and confirmed by ocean drilling done by British scientists a century ago, reefs fringing volcanic islands build vertically to sea level, forming steep-walled barrier reefs.
