Even relatively modest climate warming and associated precipitation shifts may dramatically alter Earth’s northernmost forests, which constitute one of the planet’s largest nearly intact forested ecosystems and are home to a big chunk of the planet’s terrestrial carbon.

More than a week after it ignited, the McKinney Fire continued to burn through the Klamath National Forest in Northern California.

In early August 2022, flash floods soaked Furnace Creek in Death Valley, the driest place in North America.

The boreal forests of North America could be destroyed by even modest climate change, new research shows.

A new study led by our Geography department shows that the worst effects of global warming on the East Antarctic Ice Sheet (EAIS) could be avoided.

From crop damage to cooling failures at cloud-based data centers, climate change affects a wide variety of economic sectors.

Growth of the Amazon rainforest in our increasingly carbon-rich atmosphere could be limited by a lack of phosphorus in the soil, new research shows.

Side by side, Dylan Jones displayed photos of two oak leaves, plucked from oak savannas on the West Coast.

Exposure to a synthetic chemical found widely in the environment is linked to non-viral hepatocellular carcinoma, the most common type of liver cancer, according to a new study conducted by researchers from the Keck School of Medicine of USC and published in JHEP Reports.

Elevated temperatures in the Arctic, which caused massive melting of the Greenland ice sheet during a three-day period in July, also have touched off rapid glacial melting in Norway’s Svalbard Archipelago.
