Paleoclimate research offers an overview of Earth’s climate change over the past 65 million years or longer and helps to improve our understanding of the Earth’s climate system.

Permafrost soils in the Arctic are thawing. As they do, large additional quantities of greenhouse gases could be released, accelerating climate change. 

A critical, nature-based approach to mitigating climate change has been right at our feet all along, according to a new study revealing that soil represents up 25% of the total global potential for natural climate solutions (NCS) – approaches that absorb CO2 from the atmosphere and lock it into landscapes, including forests, croplands and peatlands. 

Growing fruit and vegetables in just 10 per cent of a city’s gardens and other urban green spaces could provide 15 per cent of the local population with their ‘five a day’, according to new research.

In 2016, scientists at MIT and elsewhere observed the first signs of healing in the Antarctic ozone layer. 

NASA’s Terra satellite passed over the Southern Pacific Ocean and captured an image of Tropical Storm Gretel as it was transitioning into an extra-tropical cyclone, northwest of New Zealand.

As Tropical Cyclone Herold intensified, its eye appeared more defined in imagery taken by NASA’s Terra satellite.

The planet sweated it out again last month, as February 2020 ranked as the second-hottest February in the 141-year global climate record, according to scientists at NOAA’s National Centers for Environmental Information.

Winds and currents stirred up the thin sea ice, forming delicate patterns around Anticosti Island in Quebec, Canada.

Jedediah Brodie has spent a career tromping around tropical rainforests, conducting on-the-ground research in some of the world’s most lush and diverse regions.
