Weather-related emergencies and disasters are difficult enough to navigate — and people with special needs face a unique set of challenges.

Specially-adapted drones, developed by an international team involving scientists from the University of Cambridge, are transforming how we forecast eruptions by allowing close-range measurements of previously inaccessible and hazardous volcanoes.

Along with Europe and North America, East Asia has in the past few decades become one of the three largest nitrogen deposition centers in the world. 

This has been a record-breaking week for global hurricanes as powerful storms struck both the Pacific and Atlantic Ocean basins, leaving scientists wondering whether they're harbingers of a more destructive climate-warmed future or are outliers that test the limits—but remain within—the realm of normal variability.

Some people refer to the Himalaya-Tibetan Plateau as the “third pole” because the region has the largest reserve of glacial snow and ice outside of the north and south poles. 

International research led by geologists from Curtin University has found that a volcanic province in the Indian Ocean was the world’s most continuously active — erupting for 30 million years — fuelled by a constantly moving ‘conveyor belt’ of magma.

The Tibetan Plateau (TP) is the highest and most extensive highland in the world, and is widely known as "the Roof of the World", "the World Water Tower" and "the Third Pole". 

Turbulence is an omnipresent phenomenon – and one of the great mysteries of physics. 

An examination of two documented periods of climate change in the greater Middle East reveals local evidence of resilience and even of a flourishing ancient society despite the climate changes seen in the larger region.

Students from the University of Toronto are the driving force behind a global undergraduate research competition that challenges teams to apply machine learning solutions to the impacts of climate change.
