A new study published last week in Nature Communications reveals that rising levels of atmospheric moisture caused by climate change are expected to dramatically increase the frequency and intensity of “atmospheric rivers” over Antarctica – long, narrow plumes of warm, moist air that can travel thousands of kilometres and deliver intense precipitation.

Wind energy is an important tool for reducing carbon emissions. Hundreds of thousands of wind turbines now operate globally, and despite recent challenges in some countries, analysts predict that wind power capacity could grow tenfold by 2050.

For the first time, researchers have demonstrated in an intact plant a long-contested process that allows some plants to rebound from extended drought.

One of Earth's most common nanomaterials is facilitating breakthroughs in tackling climate change: clay.

Flooding in coastal communities is happening far more often than previously thought, according to a new study from North Carolina State University and the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.

Forests in the Peruvian Amazon aren’t growing back after gold mining — not just because the soil is damaged from toxic metals, but because the land has been depleted of its water.

The aviation industry accounted for 2.5% of global energy-related CO2 emissions in 2023, according to the International Energy Agency, opens in a new window (IEA).

The Juneau Glacial Flood Dashboard was developed by the University of Alaska Southeast and the Alaska Climate Adaptation Science Center.

Below ocean wind farms, oil rigs and other offshore installations are mammoth networks of underwater structures, including pipelines, anchors, risers and cables, that are essential to harness the energy source.

When it comes to carbon emissions, there’s no bigger foe than the building and construction sectors, which contribute at least a third of global greenhouse gases.
