It was June last year when the first bushfires started in what became known as the Black Summer that claimed lives and destroyed homes.
‘Wet-bulb’ temperature records show that deadly thresholds for heat and humidity are arriving faster than anticipated.
During the transitional period between the Pleistocene and Holocene epoch, the Earth’s temperature underwent massive change, forcing prehistoric humans in Indonesia to change their diet.
In a rapidly warming world, temperature increases are a challenge to mental well-being. A group of economists quantified the relationship.
Our study explores the factors which cause glacial erosion.
A drying climate and the arrival of people together finished off Australia’s megafauna.
Both drought and violence drove many Syrians out of their homes; even if the war ends, the continuing difficulty of farming will make it hard for them to return.
More places around the world are experiencing days with record high temperatures. These prolonged hot spells may have unanticipated impacts on pregnant women, triggering early deliveries.
