When a wildfire obliterates a forest, the first life to rise from the ashes is usually a fungus – one of several species that cannot complete its life cycle in the absence of fire. Scientists have long argued about where and how such pyrophilous (fire-loving) fungi survive, sometimes for decades, between fires.

Scientific breakthroughs don’t always happen in labs. For Sophia and Richard Lunt, Michigan State University researchers, many of their breakthroughs happen during neighborhood walks.

Offshore wind has the potential to generate more than 420,000 terawatt-hours of electricity each year — more than 18 times global electricity demand today, according to a new report from the International Energy Agency (IEA).

Researchers are focused on reducing emissions in the tiny country of Qatar, which has been named the world’s leading producer of CO2 per capita.

NOAA's vast array of satellites help inform meteorologists to provide better and more accurate winter weather monitoring and forecasting.

Scientists partnering with tech industry experts to create an innovative Artificial Intelligence application for Arctic marine mammal research.

Natural-color imagery from Earth-observing satellites offers a high-tech way to experience Earth's beauty.

Operation IceBridge took off on the first flight of its final polar campaign Thursday, with a route designed to measure the ice in a region of Antarctica the mission had not yet explored.

Studying hurricanes -- such as Hurricane Dorian -- using microwaves allows meteorologists to peer through the cloud tops and into the internal structure of the storm. It allows forecasters to make more accurate predictions and help save lives.

Quantifying and monitoring fires is important for the ongoing study of climate because they have a significant impact on global atmospheric emissions, with biomass burning contributing to the global budgets of greenhouse gases, like carbon dioxide.
