The identification of natural carbon sinks and understanding how they work is critical if humans are to mitigate global climate change. 

The increase in carbon dioxide concentration in the atmosphere has warmed the Earth since the beginning of the industrial era. 

The Arctic region is heating up faster than any other place on Earth, and as more and more sea ice is lost every year, we are already feeling the impacts.

Cold cloud top temperatures can tell forecasters if a tropical cyclone has the potential to generate heavy rainfall, and that is exactly what NASA’s Aqua satellite found when it observed the temperatures in Tropical Cyclone Belna over northwestern Madagascar.

The actual amount of precipitation is generally underestimated in the case of snowfall. Meteorologists are working on methods that are already in use to measure precipitation more accurately.

Snowstorms can wreak havoc across the United States, but especially on the East Coast.

Discovery may inspire development of better industrial catalysts.

A lack of physical activity, a poor diet and too much stress are taking their toll on the health of Canadians, says a new UBC study.

A new UNSW study has shown that using a drone to film hippos in Africa is an effective, affordable tool for conservationists to monitor the threatened species’ population from a safe distance, particularly in remote and aquatic areas.

During a recent survey of the deep seafloor off Big Sur, MBARI researchers discovered thousands of mysterious holes or pits in the seafloor
