Irrigating U.S. crops prevents higher greenhouse gas emissions by avoiding land conversion, groundbreaking new research by Colorado State University shows.

Should I stay or should I go?

For ecosystems, a forest fire does not end where the flames stop. 

A team of researchers has discovered that the winds generated by supermassive black holes are 100 times more powerful than previously thought, carrying energy across distances of approximately 300,000 light-years. 

A new study that combines paleoclimate data and climate models suggests that large volcanic eruptions can disrupt the relationship between atmospheric circulations of the tropical Indian and Pacific oceans. 

Scientists in search of coral reef barriers which had been detected but not investigated in the 1960s, and were thought to be dead, discovered an apparently thriving ecosystem of deep-water corals.

Specialized microbes transform inedible material into protein-rich snacks.

Surface cleaners remove germs and grime, but their fragrances react with indoor ozone to form nanoparticles at levels rivaling that of city traffic.

Rapid series of low-pressure systems can cause weather conditions under which the ice can only hardly recover. 

Peatlands store large amounts of carbon. However, when they are drained, they can become substantial sources of the greenhouse gas carbon dioxide (CO₂).
