When we predict future climate, it is important to understand the climate of the past. 

When it comes to adapting to the effects of climate change, scientists and policymakers are thinking too small, according to a new research review.

The U.S. East and Gulf Coasts differ in how ocean and atmospheric circulation and sea level interact to produce storm surges, and both regions will experience greater storm surges as global warming progresses, according to new research from a University of Arizona-led team.

A team of scientists led by Oak Ridge National Laboratory found that while all regions of the country can expect an earlier start to the growing season as temperatures rise, the trend is likely to become more variable year-over-year in hotter regions.

The findings, published on Feb. 7 in Scientific Reports, suggest that mollusks in the region may adapt yet again to the climate change of today.

Human activity contaminated glacier long before people arrived, study shows.

Iceland is one of the few places where people can explore the Mid-Atlantic Ridge on dry land.

The evolving field of climate change attribution science plays a critical role in shaping our understanding of how humans are affecting the global climate system, and in informing discussions about responsibility for climate change impacts.

Research suggests ancient volcanic eruptions may not have been the only cause of past mass extinctions.

Plants that break some of the ‘rules’ of ecology by adapting in unconventional ways may have a higher chance of surviving climate change, according to researchers from the University of Queensland and Trinity College Dublin.
