For centuries, sailors who had been all over the world knew where the most fearsome storms of all lay in wait: the Southern Hemisphere.

Researchers with the Rutgers Environmental and Occupational Health Sciences Institute have simulated how climate change will affect the distribution of two leading allergens – oak and ragweed pollens – across the contiguous United States.

Rondaxe Lake in Herkimer County, New York, represents classic Adirondack Park waters.

Major ice streams can shut down, shifting rapid ice transport to other parts of the ice sheet, within a few thousand years. 

A forest’s resilience, or ability to absorb environmental disturbances, has long been thought to be a boost for its odds of survival against the looming threat of climate change.

Most of California’s population and its largest airports are located along the Pacific coastline, which is increasingly impacted by storm surges, sea level rise, and erosion due to climate change. 

A new study shows how plants “encode” specific chemistries of their lignin to grow tall and sustain climate changes: each plant cell uses different combinations of the enzymes LACCASEs to create specific lignin chemistries. 

Methane mitigation has been identified as essential for addressing climate change. 

Reforestation has been identified as a potential nature-based solution to mitigate climate change in the latest Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) assessment report.

Years of research show that climate change signals are amplified in the Arctic, and that sea ice in this region is sensitive to increases in Arctic warming.
