The Norwegian research organisation SINTEF will investigate whether rare earth element minerals contribute to pollution in costal areas.

Clear skies over the Rocky Mountains helped a temperature inversion to form, which in turn led to cloud-filled valleys.

The planet outdid itself last month, as November 2020 ranked second hottest on record, overtaking November 2019 for the No. 2 spot.

This may be the first time data collected using uncrewed surface vehicles were used to help produce an annual estimate of abundance for a commercial fish stock.

Fires have scorched half of a World Heritage Site and threatened local wildlife.

The ocean engineering doctoral candidate's work expands upon current knowledge to help industry engineers reduce research cost, maintenance needs and more.

Speleothems turned out to be a great stroke of luck: dripstones from two caves in the Swiss Alps provide for the first time a continuous reconstruction of temperatures during the Last Interglacial period.

By looking at satellite measurements of temperature changes in the lower layer of Earth’s atmosphere, LLNL scientists found that climate models may have overestimated the decade-to-decade natural variability of temperature.

For decades, scientists have worked to understand the intricacies of biological diversity—from genetic and species diversity to ecological diversity.

Fan mussel populations –the biggest bivalve mussel in the Mediterranean– are endangered due to the severe parasitosis caused by the protozoan Haplospridium pinnae since 2016. Now, a study published in the journal Frontiers in Marine Science reveals the fan mussel would express a certain natural ability to recover thanks to the dispersal in the marine environment of larvae from populations which are not affected by the pathogen.
