New research has found that 4,642 species of vertebrate are threatened by mineral extraction around the world through mining and quarrying, and drilling for oil and gas.
Forests are often described as the ‘lungs of the Earth’, absorbing twice as much carbon as they emit, acting as carbon sinks (storing CO2 in their branches, roots and leaves).
New research from a collaborative team featuring Texas A&M University atmospheric scientist Dr. Andrew Dessler is exploring the climate impact of the 2022 Hunga Tonga volcano eruption and challenging existing assumptions about its effects in the process.
An international team of researchers has found that nitrogen emissions from fertilisers and fossil fuels have a net cooling effect on the climate.
To track the sources of mercury pollution across wildlands in the U.S., scientists have turned to an unlikely indictor: dragonfly larvae.
New, non-native plant species are constantly being found in Svalbard, and researchers are working to ascertain what threat these species pose to the native plants.
Scientists for decades have attempted to learn more about the complex and mysterious chain of events by which tiny droplets in clouds grow large enough to begin falling toward the ground.
Artificial intelligence (AI) is hot right now. Also hot: the data centers that power the technology. And keeping those centers cool requires a tremendous amount of energy.
For many years, we have known that trees are nature's champions at absorbing carbon dioxide.
The UK Centre for Ecology & Hydrology (UKCEH) has contributed to pioneering European research that provides important guidance on how to develop safer nanomaterials and products that use these tiny particles.
