The permanent rise of oxygen in the Earth’s atmosphere, which fundamentally changed the subsequent nature of Earth’s habitability, occurred much later than thought, according to…
Dry periods between rainstorms have become longer and annual rainfall has become more erratic across most of the western United States during the past 50…
Researchers have confirmed for the first time that Pine Island Glacier in West Antarctica could cross tipping points, leading to a rapid and irreversible retreat…
University of California, Irvine-led team reports that an increase in lightning will drive both wildfires and warming above Arctic Circle. In 2019, the National Weather…
More snow is melting during winter across the West, a concerning trend that could impact everything from ski conditions to fire danger and agriculture, according…
Researchers make the case for shifting how we think about heating and cooling needs in buildings. Heating and cooling buildings is a large part of…
Every year 600-900 million tons of carbon flow through rivers to the ocean either as particles or in dissolved form. Researchers have known for a…
Using satellite data to ‘see in the dark’, researchers have shown for the first time that lakes on the Greenland Ice Sheet drain during winter,…
New study points to potential widespread phagocytosis among green algae, suggests improved methodology in environmental microbiology. New research suggests that the ability of green algae…
Collaborative research shows more severe slowdowns in warmer regions like Africa and Latin America. The University of Maryland (UMD) has collaborated with Cornell University and…
For the first time ever, researchers have found fossils under Greenland’s ice sheet that are so large and well preserved that they can be seen…
Expansive study shows seagrass meadows can buffer ocean acidification. Spanning six years and seven seagrass meadows along the California coast, a paper published today from…
More research is needed on the environmental impact of sunscreen on the world’s coral reefs, scientists at the University of York say. The concerns over…
Like rings in a tree trunk, a narwhal’s tusk provides a window into changing conditions in the Arctic. In the Arctic, climate change and pollution…
