Wildfires on Alaska’s North Slope were more active this past century than at any time in the past 3,000 years, according to a study recently published in the journal Biogeosciences.

In an ecosystem that’s losing much of its biodiversity, mosquitoes might be shifting to a new food source.

For the first time, a study from researchers at Scripps Institution of Oceanography at the University of California San Diego integrates climate-related damages to the ocean into the social cost of carbon— a measure of economic harm caused by greenhouse gas emissions.

Every autumn, as the Northern Hemisphere moves toward winter, Judah Cohen starts to piece together a complex atmospheric puzzle.

Water extremes such as droughts and floods have a huge impact on communities, ecosystems, and economies. 

Although honey bees have the ability to regulate hive temperatures, new research published in Ecological and Evolutionary Physiology shows that extreme summer heat can overwhelm these critical pollinators' cooling systems, leading to significant colony population declines.

A new tool is helping researchers simulate erosion and climate change, turning data into action.

A study published on Jan. 14 in Nature shows that many of the world’s major river deltas are sinking faster than sea levels are rising, potentially affecting hundreds of millions of people in these regions.

They have been described as the water towers of the world, and with good reason.

Marine heatwaves (MHWs) are periods of unusually warm sea temperatures, recognised as one of the fastest emerging climate-related drivers of change in the ocean.
