Our work shows they may be caused by spontaneous combustion triggered by sudden climate change.
Canada’s boreal forest is affected by global warming, climate change and the frequency of forest fires.
Genetic analysis of caribou populations reveals that some groups are genetically more predisposed to migrating than others. But human activities are affecting these behaviours.
Recent wildfire seasons have been worsened by climate change. But wildfires also lead to additional climate warming when they release carbon dioxide to the atmosphere.
New research shows that permafrost contains huge amounts of particles that make it easier for cloud moisture to freeze. Thawing permafrost is releasing these ice-nucleating particles.
More than two-thirds of Earth’s remaining wilderness is in the hands of just five countries, according to a new global map. A concerted conservation effort is needed to save our last wild places.
