High-resolution simulations of ocean circulations 34 million years ago are shedding a new light on the 50-year-old question about how and why the Antarctic ice sheets formed.

The paper, published today, reveals that providing these services for free could reduce home energy emissions by 13.4%, and motor fuel emissions by 23.8%.

The expertise of a Huddersfield researcher has been sought out to assist an international research project which aims to unlock keys to climate change hidden in cave formations known as speleothems located deep in New Zealand’s caves.

It’s a tempting thought: With climate change so difficult to manage and nations unwilling to take decisive action, what if we could mitigate its effects by setting up a kind of chemical umbrella—a layer of sulfuric acid in the upper atmosphere that could reflect the sun’s radiation and cool the Earth?

Like a mirage on the horizon, an innovative process for converting a potent greenhouse gas into a food security solution has been stalled by economic uncertainty.

Global change is eroding life on earth at an unprecedented rate and scale. 

If you think living away from the coast keeps you safe from climate change and rising waters, think again.

After the natural warming that followed the last Ice Age, there were repeated periods when masses of icebergs broke off from Antarctica into the Southern Ocean.

An upside of the increase in forest fires in the West is that they reduce the amount of fuel available for other burns.

Even short-term exposure to air pollution impacts our brain performance and capacity to work, according to researchers from The University of Queensland and Carnegie Mellon University.
