Two Extremes at the Same Time
Prolonged droughts and heat waves have negative consequences both for people and the environment.
Greenland Ice Sheet May Halve in Volume By Year 3000
One of the many effects of global warming is sea-level rise, to which the melting and retreat of the Earth’s ice sheets and glaciers is a major contributor.
Permafrost Peatlands Approaching Tipping Point
The frozen peatlands in these areas store up to 39 billion tons of carbon – the equivalent to twice that stored in the whole of European forests.
How to Clean Solar Panels Without Water
Solar power is expected to reach 10 percent of global power generation by the year 2030, and much of that is likely to be located in desert areas, where sunlight is abundant.
Ice Sheet Retreat and Forest Expansion Turned Ancient Subtropical Drylands into Oases
As human-caused greenhouse gas emissions continue to rise beyond limits for what our species has experienced, researchers are looking to a mystery in the past to answer questions about what may lay ahead.
