The Amazon rainforest in South America is so critical to the health of Earth’s atmosphere that it’s known as the “lungs of the planet.”

Study reveals battery performance targets for solar stratospheric aircraft.

UFZ study combines climate and hydrological models to analyse flood peaks.

The Antarctic Intermediate Water (AAIW) – a vast layer of freshwater spanning much of the Southern Hemisphere’s four oceans – has rapidly reversed its long-term trends in salinity and density, according to new research led by the University of Melbourne and the Indian Institute of Science.

A new study led by University of Hawai‘i (UH) at Mānoa researchers reveals how extreme ocean warming disrupts whale metabolism, nutrition, and reproductive success and what the developing 2026-2027 El Niño could mean next. 

A study analyzing the effects of climate change on vascular plants in the United States finds that the fate of individual plant species tends to be a regional phenomenon.

Tools like Claude and ChatGPT can help researchers monitor ecosystems by finding and extracting data from observations made in nature by everyday people.

New research led by the University of Michigan provides utilities and policymakers with forecasts that can help them better prepare for future extremes in peak energy demand in the United States.

Glaciers ending in lakes, oceans or ice shelves make up 3.2% of the world’s glaciers, but lost 134bn tonnes of ice each year between 2000 and 2019, accounting for more than half of all glacier ice loss, a new study shows.

Reaching net zero sooner would limit long-lasting changes to El Niño and the tropical Pacific, new climate modelling suggests, although heat stored deep in the ocean means changes to the tropical Pacific could persist for centuries.
