A University of Massachusetts Amherst-led research team has discovered that weaker rock in mountain landscapes erodes three times faster than harder rock–even on gentler slopes–and is one of the main attributes governing mountain erosion.

The world is now in the grip of a super El Niño: a Godzilla-sized version of a natural climate phenomenon that has already shriveled rivers, upended aquaculture, and flattened crops with drought.

The Southern Ocean may seem far removed from the North Pacific or the Gulf of Maine, but its waters are linked to all the world's major ocean basins through a vast circulation system.

Climate observers have long tied the strength of a major ocean current to water temperatures in the so-called “cold blob” in the North Atlantic Ocean.

A new study finds that tropical areas often thought to be safe from the effects of climate change are actually experiencing significant changes in rainfall and extreme temperature events.

About 20,000 years ago, an enormous, floating ice shelf more than a mile thick helped lock in three of the largest ice sheets in northern Canada and Greenland.

The method is 140 years old, and it is time to modernize in order to reduce climate emissions.

Farming, dams and agricultural runoff are the biggest threats to freshwater biodiversity globally, with Europe and Northwest Africa the hardest-hit regions, McGill researchers have found.

Flowers may look simple from the outside, but inside, they can create their own miniature environments.

The 2026 Lancet Countdown on health and climate change finds rising heat-related mortality, growing pressure on food and water systems, and economic losses from heat.
