Collapse of the West Antarctic Ice Sheet could be triggered with very little ocean warming above present-day, leading to a devastating four metres of global sea level rise to play out over hundreds of years according to a study now published in Communications Earth & Environment, co-authored by the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research (PIK). 

As Floridians prepare for an active 2025 Atlantic hurricane season, the most serious threat may not come from wind, but from water.

The accumulation of microplastics in the environment, and within our bodies, is an increasingly worrisome issue.

On the afternoon of May 28, 2025, an avalanche of rock and ice from the Birch Glacier (Birchgletscher) in southwestern Switzerland roared into the valley below.

More than 180 wildland fires burned across Canada on June 1, 2025, continuing what has been an active fire year so far.

Oregon State University researchers are gaining a more detailed understanding of emissions from wood-burning stoves and developing technologies that allow stoves to operate much more cleanly and safely, potentially limiting particulate matter pollution by 95%.

For the first time, researchers have demonstrated in an intact plant a long-contested process that allows some plants to rebound from extended drought.

One of Earth's most common nanomaterials is facilitating breakthroughs in tackling climate change: clay.

New study from Hokkaido University details processes that keep pollutants aloft despite a drop in emissions.
