A new study led by a University of Kentucky professor is sounding the alarm on the impact climate change could have on one of the world’s most vulnerable regions.

Raised beaches around the bay in Canada’s Ontario Province show how the landscape responded after the last ice age.

About 40% of the U.S. population lives in a coastal area and in Hawai‘i, nearly everyone is vulnerable to the effects of tropical storms and hurricanes.

The brownish-grey algae that darken the Greenland ice sheet in summer cause the ice to melt faster, but only recently have scientists measured these blooms in the field, and only at few sites. To measure algal blooms across large regions and understand their effects on melting over time, scientists are now turning to space.

Concentration of dinitrogen oxide – also referred to as nitrous oxide – in the atmosphere increases strongly and speeds up climate change. In addition to CO2 and methane, it is the third important greenhouse gas emitted due to anthropogenic activities.

As species across the world adjust where they live in response to climate change, they will come into competition with other species that could hamper their ability to keep up with the pace of this change, according to new CU Boulder-led research.

For the last decade, chinook salmon, commonly known in Alaska as “king salmon,” has been in decline, a trend that has stumped researchers and biologists across the state as to what is causing the salmon’s low returns.

With demand for lentils growing globally and climate change driving temperatures higher, a University of Saskatchewan (USask)-led international research team has developed a model for predicting which varieties of the pulse crop are most likely to thrive in new production environments

After a dry summer and despite a few recent rainy days, Connecticut is experiencing an increasingly dry autumn, with areas of the state ranging from abnormally dry to extreme drought conditions.
