It’s frustrating to hear about the possibility of thunderstorms but not knowing exactly where. A new key study by the UK Centre for Ecology and Hydrology (UKCEH) published in Nature aims to improve the certainty about the location of upcoming storms on hot days.
The biology of attachment helps us understand why the loneliness of Punch, the abandoned monkey clinging to his soft toy that has gone viral, touches us so profoundly through our instincts for survival and connection.
Researchers have developed a catalyst that uses sunlight to degrade PFAS, an incredibly stable class of chemicals dubbed "forever chemicals".
According to a recent analysis by Climate Central, climate change has significantly increased the number of days exceeding critical temperature thresholds for coffee in the main producing regions. What if your morning cup were at risk?
El Niño is a difficult climate pattern to predict, but scientists think this could be the year for its return. The last time we saw an El Niño pattern was two years ago.
The air inside your home can be two to five times more polluted than the air outside, according to the World Health Organisation. Two scientists share practical advice on how to reduce indoor pollution and limit its impact on your health.
Antarctica’s melting ice has been linked to a possible climate “silver lining” — iron feeding algae that absorb CO₂. New field data suggest that iron boost has been overestimated
Anomalous spikes in the Earth's natural vibration are intriguing scientists and raising questions about possible effects on human health. Learn more here
A fresh study reveals a physical mechanism when intense solar activity disturbs the ionosphere, and how that can generate electric fields that penetrate the Earth's crust, triggerigng earthquakes
For centuries, peatlands stored carbon, but then we drained them for agriculture and they became sources of emissions. A study in Norway measured how much the water level needs to be raised to remove these emissions.
Sea levels have been climbing for decades, but pinning down exactly why has been tricky. Now researchers have built a 30-year record showing added ocean mass has taken the lead.
Forests have a crucial role to play in sequestering carbon, but how can we tell how healthy a forest is and how it’s responding to climate change?
