Wildfires. Many see them as purely destructive forces, disasters that blaze through a landscape, charring everything in their paths. 

Plant species may only need to move short distances to track their preferred habitats as the climate changes, according to a study published in Nature Climate Change.

Life in the ocean’s “twilight zone” could decline dramatically due to climate change, new research suggests.

As temperatures across the globe reach record-level highs, urban areas are facing increased heat stress. 

A collaboration involving 80 scientists has identified the regions of the Amazon rainforest where trees are most likely to face the greatest risk from drier conditions brought about by climate change.

A new study has highlighted under-prepared regions across the world most at risk of the devastating effects of scorching temperatures.

Each year approximately 10 million waterfowl fly north to their breeding grounds in the Prairie Pothole Region of North America, but the landscape that greets them has changed.

During the last ice age, massive icebergs periodically broke off from an ice sheet covering a large swath of North America and discharged rapidly melting ice into the North Atlantic Ocean around Greenland, triggering abrupt climate change impacts across the globe.

Over the past few decades, it has become obvious that climate change, and consequent extreme weather events, can wreak havoc on crop yields. 

A severe windstorm that battered the UK more than a century ago produced some of the strongest winds that Britain has ever seen, a team of scientists have found after recovering old weather records.
