The concept of smart cities is founded on sophisticated cellular networks that would not only connect humans in the future but also humans to other smart devices. 

It’s the front line of climate change and could hold the key to predicting global sea level rise, but what goes on at the underwater face of Greenland’s glaciers is a mystery to science.

The Labrador Sea between Canada and Greenland is often referred to as a ‘lung of the deep ocean’ because it is one of only a handful of locations worldwide where oxygen from the atmosphere can enter the deepest layers of the ocean. 

New insight into how our early ancestors dealt with major shifts in climate is revealed in research by an international team, led by Professor Rick Schulting from Oxford University’s School of Archaeology.

For many, an ideal forest is one that looks the same as it did before European colonizers arrived. 

If you had to guess which part of the world has the highest levels of atmospheric mercury pollution, you probably wouldn’t pick a patch of pristine Amazonian rainforest. Yet, that’s exactly where they are.

When rain falls, it picks up pollution from streets, farms and other manmade features as it winds toward the ocean.

Research paper describes how scientists from Europe and the US are working together to better track permafrost carbon dynamics.

At a place where seven different water masses meet, the waters are teeming with phytoplankton and fish.

Ecosystem drivers of marine life can offer “early warning system” for fishermen.
