Wetlands make up only about six percent of the land area but contain about 30 percent of the terrestrial organic carbon pool.
Colorado’s warm and dry winters have tipped the balance in a long-running ecological tug-of-war.
Some tropical land regions may warm more dramatically than previously predicted, as climate change progresses, according to a new CU Boulder study that looks millions of years into Earth’s past.
Solar panels and wind turbines increasingly dot the landscape, but the future of clean energy may well depend on how smoothly we burn hydrogen.
A new study finds that Canada could remove at least five times its annual carbon emissions with strategic planting of more than six million hectares of trees along the northern edge of the boreal forest.
Researchers at Concordia have developed a new method of measuring the amount of usable water stored in snowpacks.
For decades, scientists knew there was a huge swath of undetected and unaccounted for per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) in the atmosphere, often referred to as PFAS dark matter, but no one knew how much was missing or how to measure them.
In parts of the Arctic, polar bears are in decline as sea ice, which they depend on to hunt, disappears. That is not the case, however, on the Norwegian island of Svalbard, where bears have actually managed to grow more plump even as ice melts away.
To reduce air pollution associated with ocean transport, the International Maritime Organization tightened restrictions on sulfur content in ship fuel, resulting in an 80% reduction in emissions by 2020.
Agricultural waste that is usually burned or left to rot could play a far bigger role in tackling climate change if it were instead used in long-lasting building materials, according to new research from the University of East London (UEL).
