Tiny aerosols, like sea salt, dust and ash, might be minuscule, but they play a giant role in shaping weather and climate. 

The intensity and frequency of extreme rainfall increases exponentially with global warming, a new study finds. 

Shahan Salim, a PhD candidate in the School of Public Health Sciences and a member of the Waterloo Climate Institute’s COP 28 delegation, has designed, in partnership with UNICEF in Mongolia, a platform to use data from low-cost air quality sensors to monitor and predict adverse outcomes related to air pollution exposure in underserved communities.

Forest modeling by Oregon State University scientists shows that a site’s productivity – an indicator of how fast trees grow and how much biomass they accumulate – is the main factor that determines which time period between timber harvests allows for maximum above-ground carbon sequestration.

The study by researchers at the University of São Paulo also shows that genetic engineering techniques need to be improved in order to increase ethanol production without expanding crop acreage, a strategy considered crucial to the effort to cope with climate change.

Since launching 16 months ago, the EMIT imaging spectrometer aboard the International Space Station has shown an ability to detect more than just surface minerals.

A new national report finds that the impacts of weather extremes — exacerbated by climate change — are far-reaching across every region of the United States. 

Two researchers from the GEOMAR Helmholtz Centre for Ocean Research Kiel have each been awarded one of the prestigious Consolidator Grants from the European Research Council.

The deep sea is home to one of the largest animal communities on earth which is increasingly exposed to environmental pressures.

Researchers are using a new AI tool to detect icebergs in the Southern Ocean.
