Simultaneous outbreaks of large wildfires will become more frequent in the Western United States this century as the climate warms, putting major strains on efforts to fight fires, new research shows.

As renewable energy sources like wind and solar ramp up, they can be used to sustainably generate hydrogen fuel. 

The consequences of a warming climate frequently dominated the news this summer, from devastating wildfires and floods to deadly heat waves across the globe.

A new study led by Professor at CMEC, Katherine Richardson, updates the Planetary Boundary framework and shows human activities are increasingly impacting the planet and, thereby, increasing the risk of triggering dramatic changes in overall Earth conditions.

An emerging system which combines rapid imaging with artificial intelligence could help scientists build a comprehensive picture of present and historic environmental change – by swiftly and accurately analysing pollen.

Extent of future warming will dictate impacts, according to research involving a Rutgers scientist.

Freshwater ecosystems account for half of global emissions of methane, a potent greenhouse gas that contributes to global warming. 

Climate change has long been considered as one of the greatest drivers of declining coral reefs, but the specifics of human impact have been largely unverified.

Scientific findings don’t always translate neatly into actions, especially in conservation and resource management. 

Important ocean currents that redistribute heat, cold and precipitation between the tropics and the northernmost parts of the Atlantic region will shut down around the year 2060 if current greenhouse gas emissions persist.
