A new study led by the University of Maine suggests that inherent aspects of human evolution could hinder our ability to tackle global environmental issues…
Forests, which cover a third of Earth’s land surface, are pivotal in carbon storage and the water cycle, though the full scope of their impact…
The study reveals that the Northern Hemisphere areas most dependent on snow for water are experiencing the sharpest declines. Snow presents a contradictory cue for…
NISAR will study changes to ice sheets, glaciers, and sea ice in fine detail, as climate change warms the air and ocean. NISAR, the soon-to-launch…
A global study examining temperature changes in 12 caves across the world indicates that a significant portion of the Earth’s readily available freshwater supplies may…
Do climate change deniers bend the facts to avoid having to modify their environmentally harmful behavior? Researchers from the University of Bonn and the Institute…
In a recent paper published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS), researchers contend that tipping elements in the Earth’s system ought…
In Alaska, streams are turning orange as permafrost thaws. Scientists are keenly aware that losing permafrost—the year-round frozen ground prevalent across the Arctic—generally does not…
What caused the year to be so hot? Here is a breakdown of the primary factors that scientists considered. NASA announced that 2023 was the…
Resting atop a shingled sandstone landscape, the Norwegian glacier has been in decline since the late 1990s. Ålfotbreen glacier rests on ledges of sandstone among…
Peatlands experience greater impacts from drought than previously anticipated, raising concerns due to their crucial role in combating climate change. Prolonged drought conditions significantly reduce…
