The updated methods are providing a clearer picture of how Earth and its inhabitants evolved over the past 60,000 years - and thus, providing new insight into its future.

Sea levels could be two metres higher by 2100. How will our relationship to the drowned coast change?
Western solutions to Pacific Island issues often end in failure. These countries must build their autonomy to survive climate change.
In Australia, coastal flooding is expected to be worse along the northern coast in Queensland, Western Australia and the Northern Territory.
Latest research explores how a warming ocean circulates underneath Antarctica’s floating ice shelves and how this contributes to future sea level rise.
How sea water circulates underneath Antarctic ice shelves is a vital missing link in climate change projections.
The review examined hundreds of studies and concluded the lower Murray should remain a freshwater ecosystem, or severe environmental and economic damage will result.
A new study suggests raising dykes along a third of Europe’s coastline, but there are more cost-effective options.
The findings point to how Australia’s most important river system might be altered by future sea level rise.
A new study has reported the world will lose almost half of its valuable sandy beaches by 2100 as sea levels rise. But cutting our emissions could keep some intact.
Sandy beaches are densely populated and occupy more than one third of the global coastline.
Our research shows the Antarctic could be closer to a tipping point than previously thought.
Bangladesh is on the front lines of climate change, but factors including money, gender and religion make some Bangladeshis much more vulnerable than others. Can it find inclusive ways to cope?
Can maps of people’s flooded properties convince them that rising sea level is a threat?
A recent ruling by the UN’s Human Rights Committee recognized that climate refugees do exist, and acknowledged a legal basis for protecting them when their lives are threatened by climate change.
For decades Australian scientists have, clearly and respectfully, warned about the risks to Australia of a rapidly heating climate. After this season’s fires, perhaps it’s time to listen.
People tend to pay attention when things get personal, so you need to know how climate change is damaging things in your life.
Global heating could reduce mountain glacier snow and ice by up to 80% by 2100, threatening major drinking water supplies.
Climate change is causing oceans to become warmer and more acidic and to lose oxygen. Indonesian waters are not immune to these impacts.
For every ten centimetres of sea level rise, the chances of a 100-year coastal flood increase three-fold. This means we’ll have to build flood defenses or retreat from the coast.
