Follow the pollen. Records from past plant life tell the real story of global temperatures, according to research from a climate scientist at Washington University…
Early Human Habitats Linked to Past Climate Shifts A study published in Nature by an international team of scientists provides clear evidence for a link…
A new membrane material could make purification of gases significantly more efficient, potentially helping to reduce carbon emissions. Industrial processes for chemical separations, including natural…
An international team of environmental scientists has published a series of significant recommendations to protect, conserve and study the world’s coral reefs – the ‘canaries…
A New Heat Engine With No Moving Parts Is As Efficient as a Steam Turbine The novel design could someday enable a fully decarbonized power…
Multi-institutional research team finds declining nitrogen availability in a nitrogen-rich world. Since the mid-20th century, research and discussion have focused on the negative effects of…
Scientists develop a new way to take a census of carbon in the ground under our feet – a crucial tool for managing climate change…
Sophisticated model reveals how predator-prey relationships affect species’ ranges. Warming of the oceans due to climate change will mean fewer productive fish species to catch…
From nuclear proliferation to climate change, Richard K. Lester taps research talent to map a path toward a sustainable planet. Looking back on nearly a…
A new study finds that temporary nature-based carbon removal can lower global peak warming levels but only if complemented by ambitious fossil fuel emission reductions….
A new study provides the first evidence that rising greenhouse gases have a long-term warming effect on the Amundsen Sea in West Antarctica. Scientists from…
The findings do not counter the established science of climate change but highlight how the accounting of the amount of carbon withdrawn by plants and…
Yogesh Surendranath and his team are bringing powerful techniques of electrochemistry to bear on the problem of designing catalysts for sustainable fuels. One challenge in…
Brent Minchew leads two proposals to better understand glacial physics and predict sea-level rise as part of MIT’s Climate Grand Challenges competition. When we think…
Largest changes centered over Rio Grande region of Southwestern U.S. In arid Western states, the climate is growing warmer and drier, leading to increased demand…
Global team of scientists determine ‘fingerprint’ for how much heat, drought is too much for forests. The authors conclude that limiting Earth’s warming will determine…
Climate change will raise risks of debris flows, flash floods. The western United States this century is facing a greatly heightened risk of heavy rains…
