Important ocean currents that redistribute heat, cold, and precipitation between the tropics and the northernmost parts of the Atlantic region will shut down around the…
Scientists report much of the Artic island’s ice melted as recently as 416,000 years ago, which has implications for sea-level rise. Newly analyzed samples from…
Steamboat Geyser’s spray slowly fossilizes the trees it lands on – preserving the geyser’s past and providing a glimpse into Steamboat’s uncertain future. A recent…
Scientists are studying ‘super corals’ as a potential solution to climate change effects on coral reefs. Despite demonstrating resilience, ‘super corals’ also show reduced genetic…
The most accurate estimate yet has been provided by artificial intelligence and computer vision. Each year, a small forest in Zambia transforms into the site…
Michael Mann and collaborators conducted research into the impact of climate change on extreme weather occurrences such as wildfires. Their findings suggest that under the…
Long-lost ice core reveals that most of Greenland was green 416,000 years ago. A large portion of Greenland was an ice-free tundra landscape—perhaps covered by…
NASA’s GEDI, a space laser, has provided a groundbreaking, detailed structural view of the world’s rainforests, enabling researchers to further understand these complex ecosystems. Uncovering…
With greenhouse gas emissions causing Earth’s climate to steadily heat up, we’re seeing an increasing number of extreme and anomalous weather events. But predicting and…
Over the last 30 years, European breeding birds have shifted their range by, on average, 2.4 km (1.5 miles) per year, according to a recent…
Researchers at Istituto Italiano di Tecnologia – IIT and University of Milan-Bicocca have demonstrated the efficacy of a natural substance in protecting coral from the…
Ocean color changes reflect significant shifts in essential marine ecosystems. The ocean’s color has changed significantly over the last 20 years, and the global trend…
A previously unrecognized sedimentary archive in sand dunes has the potential to unlock a repository of fire records, an advancement that could broaden our understanding…
A recent study led by a University College London researcher, published in Nature Ecology & Evolution, reveals that climate change could suddenly thrust species beyond…
Earth scientists have identified a pivotal step in the Earth’s later climate development. Roughly 700,000 years ago, a “warm ice age” caused a permanent shift…
New research suggests that more than 20% of the global population could be subjected to severe heat conditions by the year 2100 due to current…
A unique 24-year study on freshwater fish subjected to warm water pollution reveals alterations in growth and mortality rates, along with size modifications, however, the…
