The Southern Ocean may seem far removed from the North Pacific or the Gulf of Maine, but its waters are linked to all the world's major ocean basins through a vast circulation system.

Climate observers have long tied the strength of a major ocean current to water temperatures in the so-called “cold blob” in the North Atlantic Ocean.

A new study finds that tropical areas often thought to be safe from the effects of climate change are actually experiencing significant changes in rainfall and extreme temperature events.

About 20,000 years ago, an enormous, floating ice shelf more than a mile thick helped lock in three of the largest ice sheets in northern Canada and Greenland.

The method is 140 years old, and it is time to modernize in order to reduce climate emissions.

Farming, dams and agricultural runoff are the biggest threats to freshwater biodiversity globally, with Europe and Northwest Africa the hardest-hit regions, McGill researchers have found.

Flowers may look simple from the outside, but inside, they can create their own miniature environments.

The 2026 Lancet Countdown on health and climate change finds rising heat-related mortality, growing pressure on food and water systems, and economic losses from heat. 

KIT researchers and partners analyze caloric cooling technologies – Nature Review highlights progress, open questions, and pathways toward sustainable cooling systems.

A new modeling study, published in the journal Nature Climate Change, suggests that the East Antarctic Ice Sheet may be more resilient to extreme long-term warming than previously estimated.
