Texas has a long history of growing cotton. It’s a resilient crop, able to withstand big swings in temperature fairly well. However, growing cotton in…
The Penguin Genome Consortium sequences all living penguin species genomes to understand the evolution of life on the ice. An article that presents the first…
MIT researchers find a way to eliminate carbon emissions from cement production — a major global source of greenhouse gases. It’s well known that the…
When it comes to the impact of climate change on ecosystems, we still have large knowledge gaps. Most experiments are unrealistic because they do not…
For the first time, researchers have measured how the production of algae and the Earth’s oxygen level affect each other – what you might call…
According to new research, climate change could negatively impact banana cultivation in some of the world’s most important producing and exporting countries. Bananas are recognized…
Hot and dry. These are the watchwords for large fires. While every fire needs a spark to ignite and fuel to burn, it’s the hot…
When the asteroid that wiped out the dinosaurs slammed into the planet, the impact set wildfires, triggered tsunamis, and blasted so much sulfur into the…
Scientists with Arizona State University connections are important contributors to a newly published article in the prestigious Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. Wildfires…
Climate change is increasing the number of days of extreme heat and decreasing the number of days of extreme cold in Europe, posing a risk…
In July 2015, U.S. Environmental Protection Agency head Gina McCarthy was being grilled by lawmakers over President Obama’s Clean Power Plan requiring states to limit…
A new study published this week reveals the first evidence of a direct link between human-induced global warming and melting of the West Antarctic Ice…
The dramatic loss of Arctic sea ice through climate change has only a “minimal influence” on severe cold winter weather across Asia and North America,…
A new study says pink noise may be the key to separating out natural climate variability from climate change that is influenced by human activity….
