Excess carbon dioxide emitted by human activities—such as fossil fuel burning, land-use changes, and deforestation—is known as anthropogenic carbon dioxide.

Honey bees may play a role in increasing virus levels in wild bumble bees each spring, according to researchers at Penn State who analyzed seasonal trends of parasite and virus transmission in bees.

In recent years, the news about Earth’s climate—from raging wildfires and stronger hurricanes to devastating floods and searing heat waves—has provided little good news.

New research by the University of Liverpool has revealed how an ancient underwater avalanche grew more than 100 times in size, causing a huge trail of destruction as it travelled 2000 km across the Atlantic Ocean sea floor off the Northwest coast of Africa.

Currently, industrial processes in the U.S. account for approximately a third of the country’s carbon dioxide emissions – even more than the annual emissions from passenger vehicles, trucks, and airplanes combined. Decarbonizing this sector is a challenging but vital step in mitigating impacts on our future climate.

A new technology can extract lithium from brines at an estimated cost of under 40% that of today’s dominant extraction method, and at just a fourth of lithium’s current market price.

Researchers at Stanford and Colorado State University have developed a rapid, low-cost approach for studying how individual extreme weather events have been affected by global warming.

Cities around the globe are experiencing increased flooding due to the compounding effects of stronger storms in a warming climate and urban growth.

Not all forest fires have devastating effects.

In an effort to reduce the environmental impact of carbon dioxide emissions, a UCF researcher has developed a new technology that captures carbon dioxide and outputs useful fuels and chemicals.
