We wanted to find out how much carbon and nitrogen is being released from the northern permafrost. Here’s the region’s first full greenhouse gas budget covering CO₂, methane, and nitrous oxide.
On land, Australia has already passed 1.5°C of warming, bringing lower streamflows, more fire weather and marine heatwaves.
New research on the European Little Ice Age in England has upended established narratives and provided a window into an era of climatic instability not too different from our own.
Without comprehensive public and global support for care provision and the integration of care in the climate agenda, unmet care needs will only grow and inequalities will widen.
A technique known as “enhanced rock weathering” promises to remove billions of tonnes of carbon dioxide (CO₂) from the atmosphere. But it’s crucial to be able to measure how much CO₂ is captured.
Planet-scale oscillations in the atmosphere can wreak havoc with rainfall in Australia’s north, according to new research.
The environmental impacts of a change in management and human activity depends on what, if any, development takes place and how it is managed.
New research shows huge potential for biogas production from methane emissions from slurry on dairy farms.
The 24-hour comic concept was invented as a dare. We used it to help us think about the future in a less scary way.
Abating methane emissions and enhancing atmospheric removal offers an opportunity to rapidly mitigate warming.
Anna Turns sets sail from Plymouth Sound to explore the significance of blue carbon in marine habitats around the UK.
With new temperature records being broken year-on-year, it may seem tempting to assume that the world will only get warmer. This is a false assumption, as warming is occurring, but it can be stopped.
A set of graphics showing how air pollution has changed in cities around the world hopes to capitalise on the ability of striking visuals to motivate people.
Record-breaking winter warmth has been felt across large parts of Australia, with more to come in coming days. A climate scientist explains what’s going on.
Baobabs have been a source of food, fibre and medicine in Africa for centuries.
Climate and weather play a large role in people’s leisure travel decisions.
Discovering beauty and urgency in nature: Simon Armitage’s Blossomise merges poetic grace with environmental activism.
Something extraordinary is happening above Antarctica, and it might bring unusual weather to the southern hemisphere for months to come.
Fluctuations in the path of storms over the Australian continent can influence the conditions delivered by an El Niño or La Niña.
