Climate change is one of the most pressing global challenges in the present times. Increasing carbon dioxide (CO2) concentrations in the atmosphere are a major factor contributing to this phenomenon.

Scientists spent the first weeks of the year on an expedition to Antarctica to study Thwaites Glacier, which is melting at an alarming rate. If it breaks apart entirely, it could push up global sea ...

The ocean naturally absorbs CO₂ from the atmosphere, acting as a carbon sink. This capacity is determined by a natural chemical property referred to as ocean alkalinity. If the alkalinity increases, ...

Warming winters are making ice thinner and less predictable, leading to more drownings as people fall through while fishing, hunting and recreating on frozen waters.

The warming world has disrupted the timing for plant and animal reproduction, and it’s usually bad news for species that depend on each other — like flowers blooming too early and pollina ...

For over three decades, satellites orbiting Earth have measured the height of the ocean surface with remarkable precision. These measurements are crucial because changes in ocean height are one of the ...

Meteorologists are reaching for superlatives to describe an oncoming heat wave so intense and rare for this time of year that it could leave some locations shattering their all-time temperature ...

High in the Rockies, researchers are discovering that wind-borne pollution and rising heat are fueling unprecedented algal blooms ...
