A long-term study finds that seedling mortality increased when severe and prolonged drought occurred in Southeast Asian seasonally dry tropical forests, which are deemed more drought-tolerant than tropical rainforests.

New research from Colgate University changes our understanding of seasonal thawing in parts of Antarctica, as scientists have learned that summer thawing occurs nearly a month earlier, and stays thawed for a full two months longer, than previously believed.

In just 10 years, fires, drought, and insect infestations have devastated close to a third of forests in the southern Sierra Nevada mountains, a new study finds.

Climate change will increase opportunities to see rainbows, according to a new study led by researchers at the University of Hawai‘i (UH) at Mānoa. 

Hydrogen sulfide gas has the unmistakable aroma of rotten eggs.

A team of quantum physicists from Innsbruck, Austria, led by three-time ERC laureate Francesca Ferlaino has established a new method to observe vortices in dipolar quantum gases.

Global warming is changing the Arctic by causing permafrost thaw, glacier melt, droughts, fires and changes in vegetation.

The declining trend was also observed by the climate models studied, but on average the relative decrease was lower in the models than in the ground measurements.

Built to help scientists understand how dust affects climate, the Earth Surface Mineral Dust Source Investigation can also pinpoint emissions of the potent greenhouse gas.

Described as the "future of agricultural research," the facility features robotics and sensor technology.
