Research reveals that some plants have an advantage in coping with dry and stressful conditions.

Since breaking from the Brunt Ice Shelf in May 2024, a large Antarctic iceberg spent the first few months of its existence mostly hemmed in by the surrounding glue-like sea ice, especially in the new rifts. 

The common practice of building dams to prevent flooding can actually contribute to more intense coastal flood events, according to a new study.

A nationwide analysis of community-level floodplain development found that over two-million acres of floodplain were developed over the past two decades across the United States, with roughly half of all new floodplain housing built in Florida.

Flowers like hibiscus use an invisible blueprint established very early in petal formation that dictates the size of their bullseyes – a crucial pre-pattern that can significantly impact their ability to attract pollinating bees.  

A new study from UKCEH scientists shows that extreme soil moisture droughts in the UK – those lasting 90 days or more - are expected to occur more frequently under climate change.

Water contamination by the chemicals used in today’s technology is a rapidly growing problem globally.

McGill University researchers have harnessed the power of sunlight to transform two of the most harmful greenhouse gases into valuable chemicals.

Existing global energy projections underestimate the impact of climate change on urban heating and cooling systems by roughly 50% by 2099 if greenhouse gas emissions remain high, researchers report.

A very warm August wrapped up an extremely hot summer across the U.S., with many cities breaking all-time heat records.
