Land ecosystems currently play a key role in mitigating climate change.

As glaciers flow outward from the Greenland Ice Sheet, what lies beneath them offers clues to their role in future ice thinning and sea-level rise contribution.

By some estimates, the amount of solar energy reaching the surface of the earth in one year is greater than the sum of all the energy we could ever produce using non-renewable resources.

Climate change is expected to make many grape-growing regions too hot and dry to produce high-quality wine from traditional varieties.

Research-grade air quality sensors are costly—around $40,000. For cities trying to monitor their greenhouse gas emissions, the cost may limit the number of sensors they can install and the data they can collect.

New UBC Okanagan research is changing the way aircraft and wind turbine operators are addressing the risks related to ice build-up.

California fires such as the Bobcat fire lofted smoke high into the stratosphere, where it can linger and contribute to variability in the climate record.

The jagged terrain of Greenland’s mountains is protecting some of the island’s outlet glaciers from warm coastal waters, according to a team of researchers that included scientists from The University of Texas at Austin and NASA.

A new study challenges the long-held view that the destruction of Central Asia's medieval river civilizations was a direct result of the Mongol invasion in the early 13th century CE.

The bedrock beneath our feet has a reputation as an inhospitable place.
