As the Arctic warms, the growth of rivers could release carbon emissions equivalent to those of millions of vehicles. Recent findings from Dartmouth reveal groundbreaking…
Throughout the Quaternary period of recent geological history, there have been alternating cycles of ice ages and warm intervals. Scientists can understand past climate changes…
The Amazon rainforest could approach a tipping point, which could lead to a large-scale collapse with serious implications for the global climate system. A new…
A chemical element so visually striking that it was named for a goddess shows a “Goldilocks” level of reactivity – neither too much nor too…
Nearly 15% of Americans deny climate change is real, according to an AI study. Public figures such as former President Donald Trump play an outsized…
More time stranded on land means greater risk of starvation for polar bears, a new study indicates. During three summer weeks, 20 polar bears closely…
Marine heatwaves will become a regular occurrence in the Arctic in the near future and are a product of higher anthropogenic greenhouse-gas emissions – as…
Greenland’s ice and glacier cover has diminished by 11,000 square miles in three decades due to warming temperatures, leading to significant environmental changes. This transformation…
New research highlights the role of microorganisms in protecting corals from heat stress. Researchers discovered for the first time a single-celled microbe that can help…
A landmark study has uncovered that bottom trawling contributes to the release of as much as 370 million metric tons of carbon dioxide annually into…
Simulations indicate that injecting aerosols into the stratosphere could mitigate the melting of ice sheets caused by global warming. One of the many effects of…
Vitamin B12 deficiency can lead to serious and potentially deadly health issues in humans. Until now, the same deficiencies were thought to impact certain types…
Volcanic carbon emissions reached an all-time low, triggering a global ice age that lasted for 57 million years. Australian geologists employed plate tectonic modeling to…
Genetic studies of an Antarctic octopus reveal that the collapse of the West Antarctic Ice Sheet (WAIS) occurred in the Last Interglacial period, approximately 129,000…
Researchers discovered rapid ice loss in the West Antarctic Ice Sheet 8,000 years ago, signaling potential future risks under global warming. Researchers from the University…
Specimens obtained from the seabed offer the inaugural detailed local climatic history and establish a connection to widespread disease outbreaks. Is there a link between…
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…
