A long-term study of coral cover on island groups of the Great Barrier Reef has found declines of between 40 and 50 percent of live, hard corals at inshore island groups during the past few decades.

Research team investigates global scale of urban vulnerability to sea level rise using new estimates of exposed populations.

Australia's carbon emissions will decline by as much as four per cent over the next few years but governments need to support continued renewable energy deployment to ensure that emissions do not rise again, experts from The Australian National University (ANU) say.

The new study provides the best understanding yet of how dynamic topography works.

A controversial theory that suggests an extraterrestrial body crashing to Earth almost 13,000 years ago caused the extinction of many large animals and a probable population decline in early humans is gaining traction from research sites around the world.

NASA-NOAA’s Suomi NPP satellite passed over the Gulf of Mexico and revealed that a low pressure area was developing into a depression.

Offshore wind has the potential to generate more than 420,000 terawatt-hours of electricity each year — more than 18 times global electricity demand today, according to a new report from the International Energy Agency (IEA).

Researchers are focused on reducing emissions in the tiny country of Qatar, which has been named the world’s leading producer of CO2 per capita.

NOAA's vast array of satellites help inform meteorologists to provide better and more accurate winter weather monitoring and forecasting.

Climate change is disrupting the rhythms of spring growing and river flooding across Europe, which could pose new problems for biodiversity and food security in floodplains, scientists say.
