An international collaboration led by Oregon State University scientists has identified 27 global warming accelerators known as amplifying feedback loops, including some that the researchers say may not be fully accounted for in climate models.

Renaissance polymath Leonard da Vinci demonstrated that frictional forces slow down the motion of surfaces in contact.

Over the last decade, researchers have sounded the alarm on soil erosion being the biggest threat to global food security.

Rice University scientists have figured out a way to engineer wood to trap carbon dioxide through a potentially scalable, energy-efficient process that also makes the material stronger for use in construction.

Since the 1970s, scientists have known that copper has a special ability to transform carbon dioxide into valuable chemicals and fuels.

As carbon dioxide continues to build up in the Earth’s atmosphere, research teams around the world have spent years seeking ways to remove the gas efficiently from the air.

Artificially raising island heights or building completely new higher islands have been proposed as solutions to sea-level rise in the Maldives and other low-lying nations.

Our planet kicked off another year with a warm start: January 2023 ranked as the seventh-warmest January in 174 years.

University of Canterbury (UC) researchers have summarised the threats that future rocket launches would pose to Earth’s protective ozone layer, in a new review article published in the Journal of the Royal Society of New Zealand.

Accurate climate models play a critical role in climate science and policy, helping to inform policy- and decision-makers throughout the world as they consider ways to slow the deadly effects of a warming planet and to adapt to changes already in progress.
