The bedrock beneath our feet has a reputation as an inhospitable place. 

A new study, headed by researchers from the ULiège Laboratory of Climatology, applying the latest climate models, of which the MAR - developed at ULiège - predicts a 60% greater melting of the Greenland ice sheet than previously predicted. 

An international research team led by the University of Bern has discovered an exotic binary system composed of two young planet-like objects, orbiting around each other from a very large distance.

Current and future damages of climate change depend greatly on the ability of affected populations to adapt to changing conditions. 

Diverting urine away from municipal wastewater treatment plants and recycling the nutrient-rich liquid to make crop fertilizer would result in multiple environmental benefits when used at city scale, according to a new University of Michigan-led study.

Developing nations have an opportunity to avoid long-term dependence on fossil fuel-burning infrastructure as they move toward economic stability, even if they are slow to cut carbon emissions, say the authors of a new paper in Environmental Research Letters.

It’s known that the primary cause of the mass extinction of dinosaurs, about 66 million years ago, was a meteorite impact.

The twin smokestacks of the Moss Landing Power Plant tower over Monterey Bay. Visible for miles along this picturesque stretch of the Northern California coast, the 500-foot-tall pillars crown what was once California’s largest electric power station — a behemoth natural gas-fired generator.

Not all specimens of the same species are the same: there is a marked variability within the same population and sometimes these morphological differences are translated into a different behaviour.

A research team at the Durrell Institute of Conservation and Ecology, University of Kent, analysed ecological changes occurring under Biodiversity Net Gain (BNG)-type policies in four early–adopter councils in England.
