Ash dieback and other tree diseases are resulting in significantly more greenhouse gas emissions than previously thought because a large amount of carbon is escaping from woodland soils, a study has found.

The odds of high-severity wildfire were nearly one-and-a-half times higher on industrial private land than on publicly owned forests, a new study found. Forests managed by timber companies were more likely to exhibit the conditions that megafires love—dense stands of regularly spaced trees with continuous vegetation connecting the understory to the canopy.

Heat waves are becoming more common, severe and long-lasting. 

The University of Plymouth is working with partners in Devon to help tackle water pollution through a new monitoring project.

The most powerful earthquake in U.S. history originated along the south coast of Alaska on March 27, 1964.

There are more than 15,000 cattle and hog feeding operations in the United States.

As glaciers melt, huge chunks of ice break free and splash into the sea, generating tsunami-size waves and leaving behind a powerful wake as they drift away. 

Researchers from the UCLA Samueli School of Engineering and their collaborators have developed FuelVision, a new system that could help enhance nationwide wildfire preparedness by combining satellite imagery with artificial intelligence to rapidly and accurately identify wildfire fuel sources.

UC Berkeley researchers tweaked a key enzyme involved in microbial methane production to understand the unique fingerprints of different environments on Earth that generate the greenhouse gas.

As ocean waters heat up, the Atlantic is increasingly seeing not just one, but two or more hurricanes spin up at the same time.
