Mathematical model captures the relationship between carbon dioxide, temperature, human population, and crop growth—and reveals a critical threshold.

University of Utah chemists discover how bicarbonate can protect cells from oxidative stress in a study that challenges how cell damage has been studied for decades.

Clues found relating repair of photosynthetic protein complex to how plants survive in colder regions.

Researchers have quantified for the first time the global emissions of a sulfur gas produced by marine life, revealing it cools the climate more than previously thought, especially over the Southern Ocean.

The Arctic is warming two to four times faster than the global average. 

“Koli is a special case in many respects. It is a visible destination, a national landscape and a national park visited by many people,” says University Lecturer Olli-Pekka Tikkanen of the School of Forest Sciences at the University of Eastern Finland.

Picture a forest meadow, a patch of wetland or a stretch of grassland. These quiet spaces, so often overlooked, could be the key to protecting Canada’s cities from floods.

As any urban dweller who has lived through a heat wave knows, a shady tree can make all the difference. 

A groundbreaking international study shows how chemical fingerprints left by “underappreciated” aquatic organisms could help scientists monitor global environmental change.

Due to the growing reality of global warming and climate change, there is increasing uncertainty around meteorological conditions used in energy assessments of buildings.
