New study reveals underestimation of carbon uptake in rivers in arid areas, with global implications.

A new study published in the journal, Environmental Research Letters, reports that cooling the planet by injecting sulfur dioxide into the stratosphere—a proposed climate intervention technique—could reduce the nutritional value of the world’s crops.

Arctic sea ice has declined by more than 42% since 1979, when regular satellite monitoring began.

The most sophisticated modelling to date forecasts that under the current global emissions pathway the Great Barrier Reef could lose most of its coral by the end of the century, but curbing climate change and strategic management will help coral resilience.

Much of the Midwest is experiencing drought due to very dry weather in the late summer and early fall.

Ancient trees may have played a key role in regulating Earth’s climate during the last ice age — by breathing less efficiently.  

Earth is reflecting less sunlight, and absorbing more heat, than it did several decades ago. 

A team of U.S. scientists has discovered the oldest directly dated ice and air on the planet in the Allan Hills region of East Antarctica.

A recent study from Oregon State University estimated that more than 3,500 animal species are at risk of extinction because of factors including habitat alterations, natural resources being overexploited, and climate change.
