A new study has highlighted under-prepared regions across the world most at risk of the devastating effects of scorching temperatures.
The previously hidden and diverse underwater acoustic world in British ponds has been revealed by a team of researchers at the University of Bristol.
New analysis has found increasing emissions of several ozone-depleting chemicals despite their production being banned for most uses under the Montreal Protocol – and a loophole in the rules is likely responsible.
New research by University of Michigan astronomers presents the most detailed known images of the inner region of a planet-forming disk.
Preserving the diversity of forests assures their productivity and potentially increases the accumulation of carbon and nitrogen in the soil, which helps to sustain soil fertility and mitigate global climate change.
High methane emissions from shallow water platforms underlie the problem
UCI researchers reconsider carbon storage with improved climate models, satellite data
A new study led by North Carolina State University researchers found drought and heat waves could make air pollution worse for communities that already have a high pollution burden in California, and deepen pollution inequalities along racial and ethnic lines.
Ice-ocean interactions are accelerating melting into Amundsen Sea Embayment
A new discovery by scientists at the University of Bristol changes ideas about the origin of branching in plants.
A pioneering global study has found deforestation and forests lost or damaged due to human and environmental change, such as fire and logging, are fast outstripping current rates of forest regrowth.
An analysis extending from southern Portugal to northern Norway highlights the importance of temperature in determining where fish species are found.
A new set of 100-year climate projections has been created to assess the likelihood of heavy rain downpours in the UK, which can cause flash flooding, over the coming years and decades.
Annual damage caused by flooding in the UK could increase by more than a fifth over the next century due to climate change unless all international pledges to reduce carbon emissions are met, according to new research.
Climate change is disrupting agriculture around the globe, and as the weather becomes less predictable, farmers and policy-makers are scrambling to make sure that people not only have enough to eat, but also that they get the most nutritious foods available.
Research published today shows how countries have contributed to global warming through their emissions of key greenhouse gases since 1850 – marking a new effort to track impacts in a critical decade for climate policy.
Brazil must protect and restore its dry forests and savannas to achieve its climate goals, new research shows.
A simple 19th Century tool is still useful to ocean scientists in the age of satellites, new research shows.
Most people have heard the predictions that cities on the American coasts are in danger of being swallowed by the sea. A new finding by researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) could be key to helping engineers manage river restoration and coastal erosion.
A natural habitat's ability to withstand and recover from damage can be empirically monitored from space – and the method may prove important during upcoming decades of climate and land-use change.
