The global food system faces growing risks from climate change, even as farmers seek to adapt, according to a June 18 study in Nature.

New research from the Future Ecosystems for Africa program at the University of the Witwatersrand in South Africa, has created the most accurate maps yet of where reforestation can effectively combat climate change.

Scientists have used clues locked into tree rings to reveal major changes in the Amazon’s rainfall cycle over the last 40 years: wet seasons are getting wetter and dry seasons drier.

New study reveals how Antarctic seals are responding to shifts in Antarctic sea ice and what long term changes could mean for their future survival.

Wildfires pollute waterways and could affect their ability to sequester carbon, recent University of British Columbia research shows.

Setting aside at least 20% of agricultural landscapes for rewilding and adopting wildlife friendly practices on remaining farmland could reverse biodiversity declines while maintaining food production. 

Researchers say avoiding these toxic blooms may reduce the rate of disease.

Study shows that carbon and nitrogen losses from the soil persist for nearly a decade after burning, and conversion to agriculture causes even more severe impacts.

How do you intuitively know that you can walk on a footpath and swim in a lake?

For much of his career, George Tselioudis, a researcher at NASA’s Goddard Institute for Space Studies, has analyzed decades of satellite observations to understand where clouds occur, whether their distribution has changed, and how changes might affect Earth’s energy budget and climate.
