As the climate warms and regional drying becomes more frequent, peatlands – some of the planet’s most important carbon sinks – are increasingly under threat.

Researchers say wildfires are evolving due to new fuels and the encroachment of urban areas on rural spaces necessitating new approaches to combatting wildfires.

As Greenland’s ice retreats, it’s fueling tiny ocean organisms. 

Sentinel-6B will measure sea surface height for nearly all of the world’s ocean, providing important data for information products, including weather and hurricane forecasts.

Few energy technologies divide public opinion quite like wind turbines.
