The rapid melting and thinning of the Arctic ice have sparked serious concerns in the scientific community.

A new mathematical model sheds light on how the brain processes different cues, such as sights and sounds, during decision making.

Conserving and restoring Southeast Asia’s carbon-rich peatlands and mangroves could mitigate more than 50 per cent of the region’s land-use carbon emissions, according to a new international study published in Nature Communications.

Because of climate change, harmful algal blooms are increasing in frequency and intensity. 

Stevens professor Philip Odonkor, an expert in energy technologies, uses AI tools to investigate the impact of extreme weather on solar-powered and electrified homes and uncover their unique vulnerabilities and develop insights on how they handle harsh conditions.

Air pollution is a well-known risk factor for respiratory diseases such as asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). 

In 2024, annual average global air temperatures surpassed 1.5 degrees Celsius above pre-industrial levels for the first time, triggering extreme weather events like record-breaking rainfall and flooding events in the Sahara Desert and extreme summer heat waves across the planet.
