Stanford scientists simulated the local risk of damaging or nuisance-level shaking caused by hydraulic fracturing across the Eagle Ford shale formation in Texas.

A new Cornell-led study examines how temperature affects fishing behavior and catches among inland fisher households in Cambodia, with important implications for understanding climate change.

Migratory waterbirds are particularly exposed to the effects of climate change at their breeding areas in the High Arctic and in Africa, according to a new study published in Bird Conservation International.

Water is a scarce resource in many of the Earth’s ecosystems. This scarcity is likely to increase in the course of climate change. This, in turn, might lead to a considerable decline in plant diversity.

A new study provides the first high-resolution observations of warm, northbound water sliding beneath the surface of the cold Beaufort Sea.

Windy regions high in the atmosphere can transport pollutants like dust or soot thousands of miles around the world and disrupt everyday life for thousands of people.

The West Coast continental shelf is known to host methane bubble streams, formerly thought to be rare.

New research reveals frequency of glacier detachments from mountain rock.

The new model incorporates historical data from distant meteorological events like El Niño and La Niña, as well as data from multiple locations at several time points.

The Brazilian Amazon rainforest released more carbon than it stored over the last decade – with degradation a bigger cause than deforestation – according to new research.
