A look at how the ocean is changing faster than at any point in human history will be the topic of a Public Lecture organised by Litfest and Lancaster University’s Faculty of Humanities, Arts and Social Sciences.

As climate change intensifies, managing water systems from extreme floods and droughts to groundwater sustainability has become one of the most urgent environmental challenges facing communities worldwide, with direct consequences for public safety, food systems and economic stability.

No matter how fast a species under threat can move, escape can only be successful if the new destination can meet its needs.

Every dollar spent on forest fuel treatments saves about $3.75 in wildfire damages, according to a new study, led by researchers at the University of California, Davis, of nearly 300 fires in the western United States.

Planting new forests may be a low-cost way to combat warming temperatures in urban areas, suggests a new study.

A new study reveals how responsive the Greenland ice sheet is to climate change – more so than models predict.

The research originated in a project aimed at developing biofuels for ships but has since evolved into an environmentally friendly method for wood preservation.

A violent volcanic eruption in the South Pacific has revealed a surprising natural mechanism that could potentially help slow global warming.

Scientists are advancing a promising solution to two of the world’s biggest challenges – plastic pollution and clean energy – by transforming waste plastics into valuable fuels using sunlight.

A study led by the University of Barcelona and published in the journal Nature Communications shows that climate change has profoundly altered extreme episodes of melting of the Greenland ice sheet: it has made them more frequent, more extensive and more intense.
