Cool autumns and dry springs could help earwig populations recover.
Studying the water cycle on Mars is essential for assessing its potential habitability, and a new study reveals that significant quantities are present as transient frost on mountain peaks.
Heat pumps are essential for the large-scale adoption of more carbon friendly heating systems and recent research suggests a way forward for reducing one of the technology’s biggest hurdles — frost.
Climate change is modifying the timing of recurrent life-cycle events with critical consequences on ecological and economic levels.
When water turns from a gas into a liquid, it forms droplets. Whether those droplets are dew or rain depends on where the droplet forms.
We already know that climate change makes heatwaves hotter and longer. But a new series of research papers asks whether there is also a climate fingerprint on frosty spells and bouts of wet weather.
Papua New Guinea is now facing a drought and frosts that look set to be worse than 1997, when hundreds of people died. So how can memories of 1997 save lives over the next few months?
