The effects of climate change on agricultural productivity are far from uniform. Tropical regions are expected to suffer the greatest losses, while some higher-latitude areas could actually see their potential productivity increase. But where does the UK fit into the picture?
While the world watches the equatorial Pacific for signs of a possible "Super El Niño", new research suggests that another tropical ocean could provide important clues about future extreme weather events across parts of the Mediterranean.
Despite rising temperatures at Earth's surface and in the lower atmosphere, the planet's upper atmosphere has cooled dramatically as a result of human influence on the climate.
Radar data from the NISAR satellite show that La Guaira and nearby areas experienced substantial ground displacement as a result of the June 2026 earthquakes in Venezuela.
The first study to directly attribute the retreat of Antarctic glaciers to climate change shows that Pine Island Glacier has been pushed significantly further inland by human-induced global warming.
Tropical Storm Bavi has been named after forming over the tropical Pacific. Numerical weather models indicate that it could strengthen into one of the most extreme tropical cyclones ever forecast for July, potentially becoming a historically powerful and exceptionally large super typhoon.
Two months ago, a historic milestone was reached: SpaceX surpassed 10,000 active Starlink satellites orbiting Earth, accounting for roughly two-thirds of all operational satellites in space. As it turns out, that's just the beginning.
A recent study revealed that nutrient stress in the world's oceans is strongly correlated with the seasons and major climate cycles such as El Niño and La Niña, among others.
The Sentinel-6 Michael Freilich satellite, which measures the height of the entire ocean every 10 days, has detected higher and warmer water moving eastwards across the Pacific Ocean.
New research published in Nature suggests that the crust and mantle have been mixing for billions of years, reshaping continents from below.
A new application from Copernicus Climate Change Service called “Weather Replay” works like a time machine, allowing users to explore and visualise historical weather and climate events — such as storms, heatwaves, floods, hurricanes and cyclones — and their evolution over time in a simple and accessible way anywhere in the world.
An international study shows that two thousand years ago there was already a geomagnetic anomaly with a pattern similar to the current South Atlantic Anomaly.
An international collaboration of astronomers has achieved the most precise direct measurement to date of the current expansion rate of the universe, known as the Hubble constant.
Also known as the Richat Structure, it is a large geological formation composed of concentric ridges located on the eastern side of a plateau in Mauritania.
The possible development of a moderate to very strong El Niño event by late 2026 and early 2027 has raised alarms in regions directly affected by the phenomenon, with heavy rainfall and severe droughts likely to significantly disrupt agriculture and livestock production in many parts of the world.
The oceans have been warming rapidly and extensively lately, with several intense marine heatwaves, while the equatorial Pacific is beginning to show strong signs of El Niño for the coming months of 2026, which could become strong or very strong. And this is only the beginning.
The magma reservoir of the largest volcanic eruption of the Holocene is refilling, and this finding from Kobe University about the Kikai caldera in Japan allows us to better understand giant caldera volcanoes such as Yellowstone Caldera or Toba Caldera in general, bringing us closer to predicting their behaviour.
Rapid ocean warming is likely to make rainfall associated with tropical cyclones more intense and longer lasting, increasing the risk of flooding in some areas of the North Atlantic region.
Artemis II is a 10 day crewed mission around the Moon that marks humanity’s return to lunar orbit. The NOAA space weather monitoring system will help protect astronauts from solar radiation, thereby also benefiting society more broadly.
A new analysis involving researchers from Queen Mary estimates that more than 5 million tonnes of CO2 equivalent were produced in just two weeks of conflict.
