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…
European summer droughts since 2015 unprecedented in the past two millennia, according to a new study. An international team, led by the University of Cambridge,…
Researchers discover impacts of Ice Age sea level changes in the genomes of Caribbean and Pacific crocodiles in Panama. Crocodiles are resilient animals from a…
In 1958, a magnitude 7.8 earthquake triggered a rockslide into Southeast Alaska’s Lituya Bay, creating a tsunami that ran 1,700 feet up a mountainside before…
The distribution of vegetation is routinely used to classify climate regions worldwide, yet whether these regions are relevant to other organisms is unknown. Umeå researchers…
PNNL-developed solvent breaks barriers, captures carbon for less than industrial counterparts. As part of a marathon research effort to lower the cost of carbon capture,…
The loss of glaciers worldwide enhances the breakdown of complex carbon molecules in rivers, potentially contributing further to climate change. An international research team led…
