A Texas A&M research team says processes leading to hypoxia led to the death of parts of the reefs at the Flower Garden Banks National Marine Sanctuary.

A rapid rise in global temperatures would lead to more extremes, whereas a more gradual and stabilised rate of climate change would decrease the temperatures we would experience.

Trees and insects may play a significant role in the emission of methane – a potent greenhouse gas – and improving our understanding of exactly how this happens could help in targeting more effective ways to fight global warming.

The accurate characterization of near-surface winds is critical to understanding past and modern climate.

Maintaining drinking water quality is a major challenge for water managers during and after bushfires.

Carried by the wind, dust and ash particles from Australia have painted some South Island glaciers with a brown-orange tint.

While providing benefits to the environment, some trees also emit gases to the atmosphere that worsen air pollution and alter climate. 

Kansas private well owners should test water quality annually, according to a recent Kansas State University study that revealed nitrate levels in shallow wells above U.S. Environment Protection Act standards.

As the effects of climate change are increasingly felt around the world, possible solutions — from reducing fossil fuel emissions to capturing carbon — have come to dominate policy discussions.

NASA’s Aqua satellite provided a near visible image and analyzed the cloud top temperatures in Tropical Cyclone Blake, located along the northern coast of Western Australia.
