The findings from the first-ever archaeological survey in space have been published in the journal PLOS ONE, by the research team behind the International Space Station Archaeological Project (ISSAP).
Modern commercial aircraft are delivering a 'double whammy' warming of the climate through their long-lived contrails, finds new research.
While not as big as T. rex, the middle-weight tyrannosaur unearthed in Southern China is the first deep-snouted variety to occur in this region.
In a self-perpetuating cycle, global warming leads to permafrost thaw, which leads to erosion, which contributes to climate change. In a warming climate, Alaskan permafrost is unable to reform fast enough to replace what has thawed in warmer months.
There are more and more climate shelter initiatives in cities, as well as migratory movements of the population forced by climate extremes.
Rock art from the Colombian Amazon has provided archaeologists with a new insight into the complex relationships the people had with the animals they encountered and shared their lives with.
