In order to analyse climate change or provide information on natural hazards, for example, it is important for researchers to gather knowledge about rain. 

Climate change and human disturbance are putting wildlife in the world’s oldest and deepest lake at risk, according to a new study by the University of Nottingham and University College London.

In India, they call the state of Kerala in the country’s far south “God’s own country.” That wasn’t how it felt last August, when monsoon floods devastated its densely populated low-lying coastal plain. 

Cover crops grown in fields during winter may be warming temperatures in the northern United States and southern Canada, according to a new study by scientists at the National Center for Atmospheric Research. 

Searching for a polar bear in a snowstorm is something akin to looking for a needle in a haystack.

The quest to discover what drove the last, long-term global climate shift on Earth, which took place around a million years ago, has taken a new, revealing twist.

For decades, ecologists have differed over a longstanding mystery: Will a longer, climate-induced growing season ultimately help coniferous forests to grow or hurt them? 

Scientists at the University of Waterloo have created a powder that could capture carbon dioxide (CO2) from factories and power plants.

A collaborative research team from China has published a new analysis that shows the horizontal heat flux in the mixed layer plays a crucial role in extreme heat events in the North China Plain region.

To counteract the damage hurricanes have caused to their canopies, trees appear to adjust key characteristics of their newly grown leaves, according to a year-long field study presented at the British Ecological Society’s annual conference today.
