When ecologist Patrick Sullivan flew into the Salmon River in Alaska to conduct a vegetation study in the summer of 2019, he was excited about paddling down the pristine Arctic river. Before he and his colleague got there, however, the pilot warned that they might not see what John McPhee had described, in his best-selling book Coming Into the Country, as the “purest water I have ever seen.”

Even after fires, severe droughts, and windstorms, the vegetation in degraded Amazonian forests demonstrates a high capacity for regeneration, including tree species.

The research, led by the University of Bristol in collaboration with international scientists and published in PNAS today [insert date], analysed more than 900 fossil deep-sea stony corals collected from depths of up to 1,000 metres.

New study finds that many of the state’s valuable and most recognizable trees could decline sooner than expected because current risk calculations don’t incorporate climate change.

March brought a series of dangerous and disruptive weather events across Alaska. 

Experiments by MIT engineers show rice seeds sprout faster to the sound of rain.

New analyses of ancient ice from Antarctica and the air contained inside it are extending the history of Earth’s climate records and expanding researchers’ understanding of how the planet has changed over the last 3 million years.

Geoengineering could protect the Amazon rainforest from climate change, new research shows.

University of Birmingham weather experts are working with the Gallagher Research Centre (GRC) on a three-year project to understand how European windstorm clustering patterns are varying from year to year and during a winter season.

Climate change is making Canada’s seasons more erratic, its weather more extreme and its ecosystems less predictable—and UBC Okanagan scientists have now produced the first national map of exactly where that unpredictability is hitting hardest.
