With weather records dating back hundreds of years, it’s possible to track everything from sudden downpours that led to flash floods to the slow changes that occur over centuries.
With an average temperature of -50°C, Antarctica’s first-ever 100% natural sanctuary protects endangered ice cores from global warming.
South Africa’s G20 presidency is a chance to lobby for investment in drought-tolerant crops, better irrigation, and early warning systems.
For decades, Australia has relied on data from US satellites, floats and monitoring programs. Planned deep cuts put Australian forecasting at risk
Withdrawing support for research and scrubbing climate data from US government websites has repercussions for Australia and the world. But there are ways around it.
2024 was first calendar year with warming above 1.5°C with unprecedented extremes putting humans and ecosystems at risk
The Global North’s failure to take responsibility for the social impacts of climate change is a grave injustice.
Climate and weather play a large role in people’s leisure travel decisions.
New research reveals our understanding of dust’s role in the environment is far from settled.
Most of the 1 billion people in informal settlements are in the tropics where the threat of humid heat is rising. Poor weather station coverage that misses local hotspots puts them even more at risk.
To fully understand the extent of climate-related dangers the Arctic – and our planet – is facing, we must focus on organisms too small to be seen with the naked eye.
From more accurate climate modelling to the prospect of truly creative computers, the brain’s use of noise has a lot to teach us.
Why modern science needs more Claude Monets.
Climatologists study data over a long time to understand weather patterns and what causes them. Biometeorologists explore the impact that the weather and climate have on people, plants and animals.
Scott Morrison, who was embraced as a bro by Donald Trump, now seeks to become one of Joe Biden’s besties, writes Michelle Grattan
Australia can take great strides forward in climate policy and action. A reactionary, incremental approach to adaptation will fall short. Now is the time to think big.
With research that offers new insights, there is increased hope for improved climate predictions and better preparation for severe weather conditions.
The science to policy process that was developed to guide climate mitigation decisions can be applied to the response to the COVID-19 pandemic, without having to be reinvented.
What caused the rise and then collapse 2,600 years ago of this vast empire centered on Mesopotamia? Clues from a cave in northern Iraq point to abrupt climate change.
