At the end of the summer, a research expedition to the remote Ryder Glacier in northwestern Greenland will be carried out using the Swedish icebreaker Oden. 

“For every 100 beef burgers we eat, that’s around 750 pounds of greenhouse gas emissions, and that’s a conservative estimate,” says Abdulrahman Hassaballah, a PhD candidate in the Department of Civil, Structural and Environmental Engineering.

The clearing and subsequent instability of Amazonian forests are among the greatest threats to tropical biodiversity conservation today.

A new review of glacier research data paints a picture of a future planet with a lot less ice and a lot more water. 

While prescribed fires are common tools in wildland management, a combination of smoke and fog, known as superfog, has in some cases crossed over major roadways, leading to multicar pileups and fatalities in visibility of less than 3 meters.

With climate change, the Arctic tundra is likely to become drier. Lakes may shrink in size and smaller lakes may even disappear according to a new Dartmouth study. 

What effects does climate change have on the genetic diversity of living organisms?

A new assessment of NASA's record of global temperatures revealed that the agency's estimate of Earth's long-term temperature rise in recent decades is accurate to within less than a tenth of a degree Fahrenheit, providing confidence that past and future research is correctly capturing rising surface temperatures.

One of the big issues with sustainable energy systems is how to store electricity that’s generated from wind, solar and waves. 

A relatively simple process could help turn the tide of climate change while also turning a healthy profit.
