Scattering sunlight-reflecting particles in the atmosphere could slow rapid melting in West Antarctica and reduce the risk of catastrophic sea-level rise, according to a study led by Indiana University researchers.

Approximately 12,000 species of mosses exist and cover close to four million square miles of earth, equivalent to the size of Canada, and are ecologically and evolutionarily important. 

Green ammonia has the potential to drastically reduce the carbon footprint needed to produce fertiliser vital for crop-growing.

The Arctic is currently warming nearly four times faster than the global average rate.

This summer marked the Earth’s hottest on record.

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.
