To avoid a substantial increase in water scarcity, biomass plantations for energy production need sustainable water management, a new study shows. 

Satellite imagery shows that the area covered by kelp forests off the coast of Northern California has dropped by more than 95 percent, with just a few small, isolated patches of bull kelp remaining. 

A new study published today in Nature Climate Change is the first to analyse global sea-level rise combined with measurements of sinking land.

A global observation of an ongoing atmospheric drying — known by scientists as a rise in vapor pressure deficit — has been observed worldwide since the early 2000s.

In its large caldera, Newberry volcano (Oregon, USA) has two small volcanic lakes, one fed by volcanic geothermal fluids (Paulina Lake) and one by gases (East Lake).

More Antarctic meltwater is surfacing than was previously known, modifying the climate, preventing sea ice from forming and boosting marine productivity– according to new research from the University of East Anglia (UEA).

People are more engaged in reducing carbon emissions than previously thought - and governments, scientists and companies should listen to them - according to new research from the University of East Anglia and the UK Energy Research Centre.

Many species might be left vulnerable in the face of climate change, unable to adapt their physiologies to respond to rapid global warming. 

Until now, researchers have found no evidence of global tectonic activity on planets outside our solar system. 

A large iceberg finally split from the Antarctic ice shelf, but another piece stubbornly hangs on.
