Several glaciers near Mount Everest have experienced unusual melting this winter.

Soil temperature influences land-atmosphere interaction within the Earth system, which is a primary component of "thermal regime" of the land, or a regular pattern of temperature change within the soil.

New particle formation (NPF) is a major source of aerosol particles in global atmosphere.

We know heatwaves and drought can turn bushfires into infernos, but the reasons why were poorly understood in science.

Finding has implications for one potential solar geoengineering strategy

The researchers of the Institute for Atmospheric and Earth system research at the University of Helsinki have investigated how atmospheric particles are formed in the Arctic.

Trees are often heralded as the heroes of environmental mitigation. They remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, which slows the pace of climate change, and sequester nutrients such as nitrogen, which improves water and air quality.

The trend of tropical cyclones – commonly known as hurricanes or typhoons – increasingly moving towards coasts over the past 40 years appears to be driven by a westward shift in their tracks, say the study’s authors from Imperial College London.

Although loggerhead sea turtles return to the same beach where they hatched to lay their eggs, a new study by a USF professor finds individual females lay numerous clutches of eggs in locations miles apart from each other to increase the chance that some of their offspring will survive.

Efforts to understand when corals reproduce have been given a boost thanks to a new resource that gives scientists open access to more than forty years’ worth of information about coral spawning.
