Using remnants of fossilized trees, scientists and an artist figured out what the forest looked like long before humans existed.
‘Thirsty air’ can create rapid and devastating drought – new research offers hope we might be able to see it coming in advance.
As public funding disappears, corporations have moved to the head of the table of higher education.
The US is shifting to a new set of climate ‘normals’ – data sets averaged over the past 30 years. But normal is a relative concept in a time of climate change.
Installing solar panels over California’s 4,000 miles of canals could generate less expensive, renewable energy, save water, fight climate change – and offer a solution for the thirsty American West.
Institutional problems make it difficult to satisfy livestock and crop farmers’ interests, already in contest over agricultural resources.
With research that offers new insights, there is increased hope for improved climate predictions and better preparation for severe weather conditions.
New research shows that permafrost contains huge amounts of particles that make it easier for cloud moisture to freeze. Thawing permafrost is releasing these ice-nucleating particles.
Food farmed in tropical and Mediterranean climates comes at a higher cost to biodiversity than that grown elsewhere.
A new measure of average weather days in New Zealand puts the temperature on the rise, again.
Trees may be more resilient to future dry spells than scientists first thought.
Climate change is a true existential threat for small island nations, but the US has done little to help the Marshall Islands, which it administered for decades.
The parable of the dragons underlines the need to apprehend glacier disappearance in a transdisciplinary way, to create a dialogue between the physical, ecological and philosophical sciences.
The 2020 wildfire season shattered records across the West. It’s part of a trend that’s headed in a dangerous direction.
It was a campaign like no other, and while there were missed opportunities and lapses of judgement, the fact New Zealanders are voting in a safe and fair election is reason enough to celebrate.
The threats of climate change to plants, animals and people in Africa mean that the continent is an excellent place for biometeorological research.
Social media has proved to be a helpful source of observations of snakes feeding. Knowing more about their diet is useful because it’s linked to their venom biochemistry.
From June through October, it’s not unusual for huge Saharan dust plumes to blow across the Atlantic. They can darken skies but also bring calmer weather and electric sunsets. Here’s how they form.
Yellow fever, malaria and Ebola all spilled over from animals to humans at the edges of tropical forests. The new coronavirus is the latest zoonosis.
