What is the cost of 1 ton of a greenhouse gas? When a climate-warming gas such as carbon dioxide or methane is emitted into the atmosphere, its impacts may be felt years and even decades into the future – in the form of rising sea levels, changes in agricultural productivity, or more extreme weather events, such as droughts, floods, and heat waves.

Oceans play a vital role in taking the heat out of climate change, but at a cost.

Scientists harness satellite data to help farmers use less water in India, Pakistan, and Bangladesh.

Everything on our planet is connected by the various chemical, physical and biological processes that make up what we call the Earth system.

The Doppler lidar will provide a highly localized ability to track the dispersion of pollutants or hazardous substances in the urban landscape.

Substantial cuts in global greenhouse gas emissions could be achieved by raising water levels in agricultural peatlands, according to a new study in the journal Nature.

Central Africa is home to the world's second-largest area of dense tropical rainforest. 

The disastrous consequences of climate "tipping points" could be averted if global warming was reversed quickly enough, new research suggests.

Floodwaters are not what most people consider a blessing. But they could help remedy California’s increasingly parched groundwater systems, according to a new Stanford-led study.

The super typhoon reached extreme intensity earlier in the year than any storm in the satellite era.
