EnvironmentFilter?

Looking for an environmental news aggregator, similar to what sites like realclearpolitics and memeorandum provide with political news.

I'm hoping to find a single place (or maybe a couple) where I can get a heads-up on breaking environmental news and editorial analysis, and if possible, also keep track of conservation and environmental research. Thanks!

I find the Center for Biological Diversity to be pretty good (very comprehensive, though with a conservation focus).
The Nature Conservancy has a pretty good blog, too, if you want more commentary.
Grist is great for environmental news.
DotEarth tends to pick up the big environmental stories of the week.
SCB has a journal watch blog for conservation biology.

I asked this question a while ago that you might find helpful.

grist.org perhaps?

Was going to say Grist. Up to the minute and very grounded perspective.

The two best in my experience (besides Grist) --
Environmental News Network
PlanetArk World Environment News

Others that are pretty good --
National Geographic Environment News
Wildlife Globe
Nature News
MongaBay

Some are regional, like Tidepool for the Pacific Northwest.

Also worth mentioning, in case you can afford a subscription or know someone who has one through work, is E&E News. It's not exactly what you're asking for. (If you're interested in policy, it might actually be better).
