Strongest evidence yet for an atmosphere on a rocky planet outside our solar system - a thick blanket of gases above an ocean of magma.

A new tool is helping researchers simulate erosion and climate change, turning data into action.

A study published on Jan. 14 in Nature shows that many of the world’s major river deltas are sinking faster than sea levels are rising, potentially affecting hundreds of millions of people in these regions.

Cereals have natural resistance to pathogenic fungi, but powdery mildew, for example, can overcome this resistance.

A study of the environmental conditions around fish farms reveals a surprising trend.

They have been described as the water towers of the world, and with good reason.
