Warm, moist rivers of air may have continent-wide effects and influence climate change. Warm, moist rivers of air in Antarctica play a key role in…
Repeated catastrophic ice discharges from western North America into the North Pacific contributed to, and perhaps triggered, hemispheric-scale changes in the Earth’s climate during the…
Computational models suggest that melting water originating in the deep interior of Greenland could flow the entire length of a subglacial valley and exit at…
Inaccessible for now, unique site may hold secrets of past. Scientists have detected what they say are the sediments of a huge ancient lake bed…
It was a sight you don’t normally see: a jellyfish lying dead in the middle of a parking lot partly submerged in water. But this…
Researchers in I2CNER, Kyushu University suggest the potential of the advanced gas separation membranes for CO2 extraction from ambient air. Climate change caused by emissions…

Carbon dioxide fuels photosynthesis, the process by which plants generate their food in the form of carbohydrates. The atmosphere’s carbon dioxide levels are rapidly increasing,…
The capacity of the Amazon forest to store carbon in a changing climate will ultimately be determined by how fast trees die – and what…
Fossil cranium suggests environmental conditions drove rapid changes. Males of the extinct human species Paranthropus robustus were thought to be substantially larger than females —…
When an ice cube is exposed to a heat source, like warm water or air, it melts. So, it’s no surprise that a warming climate…
Mega-droughts – droughts that last two decades or longer – are tipped to increase thanks to climate change, according to University of Queensland-led research. UQ’s…
Including paleoclimate data in the development of climate models could help climate scientists predict scenarios for future climate and propose strategies for mitigation. An international…
Tropical fruit trees can improve health, reduce hunger, boost incomes and fight climate change; so why don’t we grow and eat more? Two of humanity’s…
A world-first study on the Great Barrier Reef shows crown-of-thorns starfish have the ability to find their own way home — a behavior previously undocumented…
A new study coordinated by CU Boulder makes clear the extraordinary speed and scale of increases in energy use, economic productivity and global population that…
Global warming of 2°C would lead to about 230 billion tonnes of carbon being released from the world’s soil, new research suggests. Global soils contain…
