If you know what diatoms are, it’s probably for their beauty. 

With heatwaves among Europe’s deadliest climate hazards, a team of scientists led by CMCC has developed a prediction system capable of providing helpful information 4 to 7 weeks before summer, which gives valuable time to improve preparedness. 

A new study, led by CMCC and Coventry University, reveals that climate change will dramatically expand wildfire danger across the globe, with up to 91% of fire-prone regions experiencing heightened risk by the end of this century.

Warming temperatures and increased precipitation in the Canadian High Arctic are mobilizing new pathways for subsurface contaminants to spread from more than 2,500 contaminated sites associated with industrial and military sites across the region.

Climate change in Earth’s polar regions is emerging as an under-recognised driver of global health risks, with consequences reaching far beyond the Arctic and Antarctic, researchers argue.

The ice sheet in Greenland faces many changes and one of them is hiding in plain sight - the snowy layer covering most of its surface.

A new study reveals that the impact humans are having on the Amazon rainforest is so profound it is even changing the evolutionary history and functionality of the forests.

David MacFarlane, a professor of measurements and modeling in the Department of Forestry at Michigan State University, recently completed a six-month sabbatical that took him from the mangrove coasts of Mexico to the alpine forests of Italy.

New research shows that crops like maize and wheat, which depend on recycled rainfall, are more vulnerable to drought. 

Climate change is changing the size of fishes in Michigan’s inland lakes, leaving the young and old of many species more vulnerable to predation.
