URochester researchers use mathematical modeling to explore how wave-like soil patterns form—and what they could reveal about landscape stability.
A team from the University of Lausanne has developed a new approach to better understand the carbon cycle in the Congo’s peatlands, one of our planet’s lungs.
Scientists used machine-learning and super-resolution microscopy to overcome a challenge that has stymied research into the natural history of grasses for decades.
Ancient ice trapped within an ice cap in Northwestern Tibet appears to preserve fragments from the last ice age, extending Earth’s glacial record by over 100,000 years and making them the oldest ice cores ever recovered from the region, according to a new study.
Glaciers are melting faster than ever before in Switzerland. New measurement data shows that Swiss glaciers lost more than 5 per cent of their volume in 2026, following a winter with little snow and record-breaking summer heatwaves.
Soils are warming quickly and at considerable depth across Alaska, with temperatures rising fastest in the state’s permafrost region, a trend that could accelerate climate change and undermine the stability of roads, buildings and other infrastructure built on the continuously frozen ground.
Cutting greenhouse gas emissions now may limit how much ice Antarctica loses this century and reduce the rise in seas facing coastal communities, according to findings from a new study.
The ubiquitous plastics of modern life are degrading into tiny fragments and littering Earth’s landscapes and waterways.
A living laboratory at the University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa’s Magoon Research and Education Station is exploring ways to cool buildings and homes without expensive electricity bills while increasing local food production.
Irrigation canals form a sort of circulatory system for global agriculture. Across the world, millions of kilometers of human-made canals carry water from lakes, rivers and reservoirs downhill to farmland.
