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…
Designed to spot potential natural hazards and help researchers measure how melting land ice will affect sea level rise, the NISAR spacecraft marks a big…
Research finds EPA underestimates methane emissions from oil and gas production. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is underestimating methane emissions from oil and gas production…
A tiny flatworm found commonly on the coasts of western Europe and North America is living proof that species may be able to evolve and…
The origins of ice age climate changes may lie in the Southern Hemisphere, where interactions among the westerly wind system, the Southern Ocean, and the…
Earth is on a budget – an energy budget. Our planet is constantly trying to balance the flow of energy in and out of Earth’s…
Global increase from melting ice and warming oceans is most significant change since 1800. The rate of sea-level rise in the 20th century along much…
Scientists from Lancaster University and the University of Stirling have completed the first detailed modeling of the environmental effects of floating solar installations on bodies…
People living in South Asia already experience potentially deadly heat waves, but these events will likely become more commonplace in the coming decades even if…
Beef cattle fed red algae showed reductions in methane emissions of over 50 percent without affecting meat quality. Livestock farming is a major source of…
The startup Transaera is using a class of materials, advanced by MIT Professor Mircea Dinca for over a decade, to create a more energy-efficient air…
New analysis of strontium isotopes reveals how the global carbon cycle has responded to changes in climate and sea level through geologic time. A new…
Perhaps the best hope for slowing climate change — capturing and storing carbon dioxide emissions underground — has remained elusive due in part to uncertainty…
Stormier weather will increasingly force fishers to choose between their safety and income, researchers say. Climate change is causing more extreme weather in many locations….
A new study shows that if the population were fixed at current levels, the risk of population displacement due to river floods would rise by…
But in the Northern Hemisphere, the winter season ranked among the top-10 warmest. February 2021 was the planet’s coolest February in seven years due to…
