A new element of the catastrophic impacts of climate change is emerging – how global warming is impacting the human brain.

One of the great unknowns in climate models is the behavior of certain gases that often smell strongly and cause water to condense. 

A ground-breaking new study by RMIT has found carbon emissions from Australian alpine peatlands to be much higher in areas disturbed by feral horses.

The boom in phones, laptops and other personal devices over the last few decades has been made possible by the lithium-ion (Li-ion) battery, but as climate change demands more powerful batteries for electric vehicles and grid-scale renewable storage, lithium-ion technology might not be enough.

New study estimates that natural forest recovery could capture approximately 226 Gigatonnes (Gt) of carbon, but only if we also reduce greenhouse gas emissions.

Well-designed urban land patterns can reduce population exposures to weather extremes.

When floods are predicted only on the basis of local data, there may be unpleasant surprises. 

Research highlights that plastic removal technologies have shown varied efficiency in the amount of waste material they are able to collect.

Greenland’s coastal glaciers are melting twice as rapidly as they were two decades ago, according to a study warning the glaciers have entered a new phase of rapid retreat.

In the summer of 2023, vast areas of Canada’s forests were on fire. Many of these fires were ignited by lightning.
