A new study has predicted the economic loss from warmer temperatures in the region hosting this year’s Winter Olympics.
New global data show cooling demand rises fastest at lower warming levels under a mid-range scenario.
The deep sea is one of the least explored parts of the planet, and a new study found that hundreds of undiscovered species live in an area that is being considered for deep-sea mining.
A cutting-edge scientific study reveals that the transition from a humid to a dry climate in East Africa not only alters ecosystems and human communities, but may also be accelerating the continent’s tectonic separation, causing the East African Rift to move faster.
A long-running study in Norway’s Svalbard has found polar bears’ body condition has actually improved despite global warming, which has shocked researchers who were expecting the opposite.
A new McGill review has suggested something far smaller than warming air and darker oceans has been quietly speeding up the melting of ice behind the scenes
A new study sheds some light on the locomotion strategies among giant, extinct kangaroos and how they may have used other forms of movement, not just hopping.
Scientists at the University of Exeter warn that artificial nighttime lighting is disrupting moth behavior, reducing their activity, and harming their ability to feed, reproduce, and maintain healthy populations in natural ecosystems.
NASA scientists are flying directly into powerful winter storms, gathering new data that could help forecasters spot dangerous weather sooner and issue clearer warnings when minutes matter most.More information: The NASA Moon Mission Has a New Deadline: Trump’s Presidential Term
Current environmental policy frameworks no longer reflect the reality of today’s Arctic soundscapes says a new study which offers improved ways to measure noise.
The mechanisms that cause air to warm or cool are not driven by the Sun, but by atmospheric pressure. Here we explain how the laws of physics and chemistry directly influence our everyday life.
