A new study led by researchers in the Geography Department at Swansea University reveals the extreme scale of loss and fragmentation of tropical forests, which once covered much of the Indonesian islands of Sumatra and Kalimantan.

The global food system could drive rapid and widespread biodiversity loss if not changed, new research has found.

A team of researchers from U of T Engineering has created a new process for converting carbon dioxide (CO2) captured from smokestacks into commercially valuable products, such as fuels and plastics.

The study, led by the University of Exeter and Texas A&M University, examines peatland losses over human history and predicts these will be "amplified" in the future.

In a paper published today in Science (and featured on the cover), an international team of researchers led by Princeton graduate student Ciro Cabal sheds light on the underground life of plants.

Superstorm Sandy brought flood-levels to the New York region that had not been seen in generations.

A new QUT-led study has found wild jaguars in the Amazon can cope with climate extremes in the short-term, but numbers will rapidly decline if weather events increase in frequency, diminishing sources of food.
