In a recent study published in New Phytologist, researchers at Michigan State University have uncovered how Amazon rainforest canopy trees manage the intense sunlight they absorb — revealing resilience to hot and dry conditions in the forest canopy while also offering a way to greatly improve the monitoring of canopy health under increasing extreme conditions.

Coastal planners take heed: Newly uncovered evidence from fossil corals found on an island chain in the Indian Ocean suggests that sea levels could rise even more steeply in our warming world than previously thought.

A new study examined decades of atmospheric river storms across the West Coast to pinpoint the conditions that lead to catastrophic flooding.

A powerful storm system brought wintry conditions to Lesotho and South Africa in early June 2025. 

A new study has revealed for the first time that ancient carbon, stored in landscapes for thousands of years or more, can find its way back to the atmosphere as CO₂ released from the surfaces of rivers.

With demand for cement alternatives rising, an MIT team uses machine learning to hunt for new ingredients across the scientific literature.

A team at Stanford has shown that using fewer, higher-quality data points can speed up complex simulations. 

Near-record warm May and March–May for the globe; below-average sea ice extent across both poles.

Several weeks into the 2025 eastern Pacific hurricane season, a pair of tropical cyclones churned off the western coast of Mexico.

In a breakthrough study published today in Science Advances, researchers at UH Hawaiʻi Institute of Marine Biology (HIMB) Marine Ecological Theory Lab reveal that coral reefs are creeping toward the poles in response to warming oceans, but the pace is too slow to beat the heat and escape impacts of climate change.
