An international team of researchers has created a new climate reference curve by reconstructing the Earth’s climate since the end of the Cretaceous period using data obtained from sediment cores from the ocean floor.

The U.S. Geological Survey has launched a new Coastal Change Hazards website focused on coordinating research and delivering tools needed by coastal communities to respond to natural hazards along our Nation's coastlines.

A University of Oregon-led research team has identified tropical peatland in Indonesia that is twice as old and much deeper than previously thought.

Warmer winters due to climate change are causing lakes in the Northern Hemisphere to experience more ice-free years, according to a new study.

Man-made global heating has long been presented as a relatively simple chain of cause and effect: humans disrupt the carbon cycle by burning fossil fuels, thereby increase the concentration of CO2 in the atmosphere, which in turn leads to higher temperatures around the globe.

Hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs) are mainly used for cooling and refrigeration.

A larger part of the Amazon rainforest could cross a tipping point where it could become a savanna-type ecosystem than previously thought.

Another stretch of intense heat has reinvigorated the state’s brutal 2020 fire season.

NASA’s Aqua satellite analyzed Tropical Storm Delta in infrared imagery as it moved through the Caribbean Sea.

With intense wildfires in the western United States and frequent, intense hurricanes in the Gulf of Mexico, the nation is again affected by extreme weather-related events resulting from climate change.
