While greenhouse gases continue to cause temperatures to rise, a reduction in low-cloud cover over land serves as a natural brake: study.

As people in Los Angeles went through the day on January 6, 2025, NASA’s TEMPO (Tropospheric Emissions: Monitoring of Pollution) sensor performed hourly east-to-west scans of North America. 

Salt pollution in freshwater is a growing global concern.

Researchers at the Center for Advanced Bioenergy and Bioproducts Innovation (CABBI) have developed a new sorghum variant that can outperform soybeans in oil production, with great potential as a clean source of renewable fuel.

By editing the polymers of discarded plastics, chemists at the Department of Energy’s Oak Ridge National Laboratory have found a way to generate new macromolecules with more valuable properties than those of the starting material.

As the atmosphere continues to fill with greenhouse gases from human activities, many proposals have surfaced to “geoengineer” climate-saving solutions, that is, alter the atmosphere at a global scale to either reduce the concentrations of carbon or mute its warming effect.

First comprehensive pan-Arctic study of social impacts of thawing permafrost soils.

New research co-led by the University of Maryland reveals that drought and increased temperatures in a CO2-rich climate can dramatically alter how grasslands use and move water. 

Wildfires increasingly threaten public drinking water systems, but guidance on how to address damage to these systems from a wildfire has been insufficient, conflicting or inaccurate. 

Carbon dioxide is accumulating in the atmosphere faster than ever before, putting hopes of limiting warming in jeopardy.
