A global research effort led by Colorado State University shows that extreme, prolonged drought conditions in grasslands and shrublands would greatly limit the long-term health of crucial ecosystems that cover nearly half the planet.

An AWI study gives a potential explanation as to why the ocean around Antarctica is defying climate model projections and continuing to absorb CO2, despite the effects of climate change.

Human disturbance has a significant impact on the behaviour and habitat use of urban wildlife, however, in some situations urban grey squirrels may actually feel safer from predators where our activity is high.

The leaves have turned in the northern hemisphere and the Lower Mainland is seeing its blaze of glory.

When scientists want to trace how a species has changed over time — and predict its prospects for survival — they turn to DNA.

In the near future, Juneau’s Mendenhall Glacier will withdraw its icy toe from the lake of its making, scientists say.

A few miles north of Berlin, the Schönerlinde wastewater treatment plant hums with quiet urgency. Dark brown water flows through a series of concrete tanks, alive with microorganisms breaking down almost everything that’s flushed away in the northeastern parts of the nearby German capital.

Scientists say that warming has breached a critical threshold for tropical coral reefs, which are expected to see catastrophic losses in the years ahead.

An ambitious new research project is aiming to better understand the lives of king salmon by focusing on their difficult journey from freshwater habitat to the ocean.

Extreme conditions including 40C heat seen in 2022 led to all fuel sources in heathlands to dry leading to significant increase in threat of wildfire incidents.
