Climate Change Drives Babbler Birds Into “Ecological Trap”
Animals can fall into an “ecological trap” by altering their behavior in the “wrong direction” in response to climate change, researchers say. The so-called “rescue…

Fishermen, swimmers, and seafood enthusiasts may already know the dangers of “red tides,” but a recent study in Frontiers in Climate shows that climate change…
Australian research voyage to investigate how life in the Southern Ocean captures and stores carbon from the atmosphere. A fleet of new-generation, deep-diving ocean robots…
Researchers find that timing of mass extinctions lines up with asteroid impacts and massive volcanic eruptions. Mass extinctions of land-dwelling animals — including amphibians, reptiles,…
Decarbonizing U.S. electricity production will require both construction of renewable energy sources and retirement of power plants now operated by fossil fuels. A generator-level model…
MIT postdoc explains how reflective pavements can significantly — and often indirectly — mitigate climate change and extreme heat. Extreme heat events — like those…
A new study shows that increased heat from Arctic rivers is melting sea ice in the Arctic Ocean and warming the atmosphere. The study published…
Stevens researcher and colleague find flood levels reached by Superstorm Sandy could be seen in Jamaica Bay every four years by the end of the…
Australia has experienced its warmest spring on record, hitting a mean temperature of 24.53°C (76.15°F), which was 2.03°C above the long-term average. The season began…
You might have observed plants competing for sunlight — the way they stretch upwards and outwards to block each other’s access to the sun’s rays…
In mid-November, about a month before the start of summer in the southern hemisphere, the Antarctic melting season is usually just starting. By that time…
Investigators say humanity’s oldest sculptures may be linked to climate change, diet. One of the world’s earliest examples of art, the enigmatic `Venus’ figurines carved…
Heatwaves Pushing Mongolia’s Climate to a Tipping Point Mongolia’s semi-arid plateau may soon become as barren as parts of the American Southwest due to a…
Global warming triggered the evolution of giant dinosaurs. An international team of paleontologists, including LMU Professor Oliver Rauhut, finds evidence of rapid climate change 180…
Governments, UN, civil society, companies collaborate on robust new tracking and disclosure system. In a move that will help tackle one of the biggest and…
A better understanding of iceberg melting and lake ice formation could provide new indicators of climate change. Eric Hester has spent the last three…
Researchers climbed into moulins, which drain meltwater from the ice sheet, to better understand how volume relates to ice movement. Holes that carry surface meltwater…
