A combination of dry vegetation, above-normal temperatures and high wind speeds will increase the risk for wildfires this week, experts say.

CICERO scientists have now developed a new method to reduce fluctuations in calculating rate of global warming

University of Alaska Fairbanks students will return to several Bristol Bay communities this year to continue quantifying and mapping widespread coastal erosion.

Thirty years ago, on the flanks of a volcano in California’s Sierra Nevada range, trees began to die en masse, suffocated at their roots by carbon dioxide seeping up from the mountain’s depths after a swarm of small earthquakes.

Deserts may seem lifeless and inert, but they are very much alive. Sand dunes, in particular, grow and move – and according to a decadeslong research project, they also breathe humid air.

On the massive sheets of ice that stretch across Greenland and Antarctica, the temperature is so low that not even the summer sun can melt the snow deposited onto them.

The shelf’s disintegration in March 2022 has reshaped a landscape where coastal glacial ice was once thought to be stable.

The Colorado State Forest Service is leading the three-phase wildfire mitigation effort in the Douglas County wildland-urban interface.

Research led by Oregon State University shows that fires are more likely to burn their way into national forests than out of them.

They found that greenhouse gas emissions from streams and wetlands at Coweeta could be highly variable.
