Berkeley Lab study finds warmer California temperatures by mid-century will be too hot for some crops, just right for others

The resilience of North America’s plant biomes is declining — indicating that today’s landscapes are “primed to herald a major extinction event” not seen since the retreat of glaciers and arrival of humans 13,000 years ago, scientists reported in a new study published in the journal Global Change Biology.

Nearly every summer, phytoplankton trace the sea’s currents, eddies, and flows.

A line of thunderstorms with hurricane-force winds caused widespread damage to crops.

Professor William Merrell says the plan proposed after Hurricane Ike in 2008 is still needed, and the Texas coast could again face catastrophic damage.

University of Montana researchers and partner institutions will use computer modeling to study the impact of climate change on Alaska’s Malaspina Glacier.

The analysis examines the overlap between opportunities for tropical forest restoration, human populations, development and national policies for community forest ownership.

Despite the increasing numbers of wind turbines, their impacts on the environment are poorly known.

A new study, realized with the contribution of the CMCC Foundation, demonstrates for the first time that human-induced climate change has influenced water availability on land in the driest months of the year, over the last century.

An unusual amount of smoke from wildfires has spread across hundreds of miles.
