Climate change can make weather events more extreme—from droughts and wildfires to heat waves and major storms.

The Southwest United States is currently facing its worst megadrought of the past 1,200 years.

New research from Michigan State University, led by agricultural systems scientist Bruno Basso, addresses a major problem in agricultural carbon markets: how to set an accurate starting point, or “baseline,” for measuring climate benefits.

At the dawn of the millennium, a group of eminent scientists began compiling a list of the threats they felt were most likely to impact the world’s rocky shorelines over the coming quarter of a century.

Heaps of discarded clothing from the U.K. have been dumped in protected wetlands in Ghana, an investigation found.

Scientists have found that trees in cities respond to higher temperatures differently than those in forests, potentially masking climate impacts.

With projected global warming, the frequency of extreme storms will ramp up by the end of the century, according to a new study.

Samples of extremely small crystal clots, each polished to the thickness of a human hair or thinner, have revealed information about the process triggering the major 2006 eruption of Alaska’s Augustine Volcano.

New research finds that not only will climate change make heat waves hotter and longer, but the lengthening of heat waves will accelerate with each additional fraction of a degree of warming.

When the seven states of the Colorado River Basin first divided water rights in the 1920s, they handed out more than the river could reliably deliver, especially during periods of drought.
