Even if global warming were to stop entirely, the ice volume in the European Alps is projected to decrease by 34% by 2050. Should the…
Global warming may be interacting with regional rainfall and deforestation to accelerate forest loss in the Amazon, pushing it toward partial or total collapse. Research…
First observation of marine invertebrates eating live and dead jellyfish during Arctic winter. In the dark and cold of the months-long polar night, food resources…
Much of the U.S. warmed during the 20th century, but the eastern part of the country remained mysteriously cool. The recovery of forests could explain…
Launching in spring 2024, the two small satellites of the agency’s PREFIRE mission will fill in missing data from Earth’s polar regions. Two new miniature…
In a changing climate, the increasing meltwater from Antarctica is anticipated to play a major role in sea level rise. However, the bulk of scientific…
With satellite data and machine learning methods, it is possible to identify and locate 15 forms of land use – from the cultivation of various…
New research on coastal wetlands indicates that without significant carbon emission reductions, 75% of these areas will be in deficit by 2070, potentially leading to…
As the Arctic warms, the growth of rivers could release carbon emissions equivalent to those of millions of vehicles. Recent findings from Dartmouth reveal groundbreaking…
Throughout the Quaternary period of recent geological history, there have been alternating cycles of ice ages and warm intervals. Scientists can understand past climate changes…
The Amazon rainforest could approach a tipping point, which could lead to a large-scale collapse with serious implications for the global climate system. A new…
A chemical element so visually striking that it was named for a goddess shows a “Goldilocks” level of reactivity – neither too much nor too…
Nearly 15% of Americans deny climate change is real, according to an AI study. Public figures such as former President Donald Trump play an outsized…
More time stranded on land means greater risk of starvation for polar bears, a new study indicates. During three summer weeks, 20 polar bears closely…
Marine heatwaves will become a regular occurrence in the Arctic in the near future and are a product of higher anthropogenic greenhouse-gas emissions – as…
Greenland’s ice and glacier cover has diminished by 11,000 square miles in three decades due to warming temperatures, leading to significant environmental changes. This transformation…
New research highlights the role of microorganisms in protecting corals from heat stress. Researchers discovered for the first time a single-celled microbe that can help…
