With the impacts of climate change increasing around the world, efforts to adapt human infrastructure and practices might seem to be an unalloyed good.

North Carolina State University researchers found in a new study that while many tourists visiting a mountain destination in southern Mexico wouldn’t change their near-term plans to visit due to climate change, more than two-thirds said they would or might change their plans by 2060 under more drastically changed conditions.

The risk of fatal heatwaves has risen sharply over the past 20 years.

Extreme floods and severe droughts on the Amazon River have occurred more frequently in the last 40 years.

A new analysis from the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign and the USDA-Agricultural Research Service (ARS) has identified the top factors accounting for yield variability in processing sweet corn (used for canned and frozen products), including one within the control of processors.

The Pacific Ocean covers 32% of Earth’s surface area, more than all the land combined. 

Climate impacts such as dry, hot summers reduce the growth and increase the mortality of trees in the Black Forest because they negatively influence the climatic water balance, i.e., the difference between precipitation and potential evapotranspiration.

The Pacific Ocean covers 32% of Earth’s surface area, more than all the land combined. Unsurprisingly, its activity affects conditions around the globe.

To prepare for extreme heat waves around the world – particularly in places known for cool summers – climate-simulation models that include a new computing concept may save tens of thousands of lives.

Marine heatwaves are becoming more frequent under global warming and this is having a significant impact on species' ability to recover.
